One of the things I most like about Crossfit is that one can take inspiration from both ends of the spectrum: the superhuman efforts of the Rich Fronings and Brooke Ences at one end of the scale performing Herculean feats at one end and the people maintaining their health and fitness into their 80's and 90s at the other. That's what keeps me going while grinding through tough workouts. That and constantly repeating my mantra:

"Don't die. Don't throw up. Don't embarrass yoursefl."

Haha great mantra

That lady was spot-on about why she was doing it. Some folks who aren't even old have that old fogey gene which seems to tell them it's ok to be using zimmers and mobility scooters instead of helping themselves to keep fit and staving off going into care. You could tell that lady was really fearful of losing her independence because she wouldn't be capable of taking care of herself as a single lady going into old age. Although, she's no spring chicken now! She had the bit between her teeth though and you can imagine she'll be achieving what she set out to do. More power to her and folks like her.
