Back to the jokes!

Definitely a legit concern. With loaded barbells bouncing around, "anywhere they won't get hurt" is a bit too casual a solution for both the parents and the other athletes.

Yeah I was totally joking because if I were a parent I wouldn't let my kids hang around... especially knowing how "out of it" I can get when a wod gets really tough.

Huh, there are people throwing down their weights? Where's the Lunk Alarm? I feel intimidated... (PF junkie entering a Crossfit box).

Should I should sprint during Helen for cardio health and just jog it if I wanna stay in the fat burning zone?
