A large sled with sides will be at the end of the course empty. At the starting line there will be
kegs, stones, sandbags, power stairs implements, farmers walks. They will all be carried the length of the course, placed in the
sled then pulled back to the starting line like we pull trucks at WSM, with a harness and rope. In between each implement loaded
each athlete will have to do 10 kb swings (106lbs). They will start the contest with the pulling harness on and when they get to it
they will be hooked themselves in.

I had a good friend who was sucked into that sh** in college back in the day, so I have some interest in the topic.

This is our “Mantra” – Something fun for us to live by – Enjoy!

For something new to be born, something old must be destroyed. Razed. Ruined.

Legend speaks of a place where men and women of flesh are remade of stone and fire. Pools of sweat are mixed with blood. Warriors bind their wounds and carry on through clouds of chalk. Undaunted, they march headlong into the razor toothed jaws of pain. Those who rise from the rubble emerge changed. Stronger. Better.

Welcome to Ruination.

Your muscles will rail against the apparatus, your lungs burning for air. Your bones will strain beneath the weight of rubber and iron. But your will, tempered, must be stronger than both. The death rattles of your peers will sound around you in shouts for time as they collapse to the floor. But you must press on, inviting agony and total exhaustion.

Here, our strength begins with Ruination.

Shoddy, cheating, movements? In Crossfit? Never! Crying and moaning ensues on Facebook, CFHQ forced to disqualify him and throws affiliate out of judging, athlete complains. Tears shed, tiny violins played.

Some bring up the radical notion that top Crossfitters get lax judging and perhaps we should be seeing video proof of more workouts . . . That would be crazy though. All must trust HQ. HQ is always fair. Put it in the suggestion box along with "year-round drug testing".
