Have you registered for the CrossFit Open yet?
Check out Karyn Marshall’s athlete profile, the first woman in history to clean and jerk 300 pounds:
”I competed in the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games and had a blast! On 8/23/11, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery, radiation and just finished chemotherapy on 1/19/12, which gives me a month to get ready for the Open. I felt good enough to begin training on 1/31/12. I have an uphill battle but I am excited to begin this journey of showing cancer that it cannot hold me down for long.”
