September Macombie

This month we are recognizing CrossFit Macomb's benchmark athlete, and giving the "Beat Joel" Macombie to Joel. It seems that Joel has become the standard to beat when trying to determine how long the WOD will take. It has become comical how many times I've heard, "What did Joel get this morning,... I just have to 'Beat Joel'!" And I've heard from both guys and girls! It is all in good fun and Joel has been taking it upon himself to making his times harder and harder to beat. He has also begun to document and reminisce on these undertakings in the blog Average Joe CrossFit (www.averagejoecrossfit.com) Which is a blog for the CrossFit majority. Very few people are in the elite CrossFit status, but the majority CrossFitters out there need a benchmark athlete like Joel to push themselves to be better, to do better, and to say, "I beat Joel!" Great job Joel and continue to motivate people to work hard.
