    There are a couple of "day in the life" videos on youtube about Rich Froning, and he also released a book called "First" a couple months ago if you want to know more about him.

    Just finished it. Good read. A bit preachy as he is a devout Christian but he's really not too over the top about it.

    He's won 3 Games in a row and lost the one prior to that by 3 points because he had never learned how to properly climb a rope.

    He is probably the ideal CF athlete in terms of build. Taller guys like me (6'3) have a much harder time adding mass and creating leverage with out longer arms/legs.

    He also outworks everyone and it's not even close.

    watching him in the Crossfit games was impressive... he's a machine - nothing phased him... blew me away.

    Love this! I agree that Rich Froning is a total freak of nature... in an amazing and bad-*kitten* way.

    haha ya def a freak, but in the best kind of way. He is still very inspirational and though totally way above any fitness goal I will ever achieve I still have mad respect for this guy and look up to him...he's not too bad to look at either *teehee :)

    Rich Froning and Samantha Briggs should totally make super elite fitness babies together.

    ^New Balance Minimus? I have a pair and they might be the most comfortable shoes I own. It's like working out in slippers.
