What’s everyone planning to run for their loadout during tomorrow’s event?

I’ve mostly been playing offensively so I honestly didn’t even think much about defensive setups until tonight.

First time posting in here, but I have a question for everyone.

I did CrossFit for probably close to three years, and after being involved in two separate car accidents, my back doctor told me I shouldn’t go anymore, and they wanted to fuse my lower spine. After a second opinion I didn’t do the surgery, but I did stop going, and eventually moved away. Now it’s been almost 10 years, and I’m a 43M, 5’9”, 175, and completely out of shape and the worst I’ve probably ever physically felt.

A local CrossFit gym is probably 10 minutes from me that I was considering checking out and joining again, but I want to get everyone’s opinions and personal stories from people who have come back to CrossFit after an injury, specifically lower, mid, and neck injuries. Have you had to modify your workouts, and how did it affect the WODs and working out with everyone?

I just know it’s not going to get any better unless I do something about it. Either I turn 60 worse than I am now, or I hit my later years stronger than I’ve ever been. Although the CrossFit years were probably the best I had felt in my life. Health wise, physically, mentally, even spiritually.

I really miss the community of CrossFit. That’s the one thing that was so great about it vs trying to push yourself to go to a gym by yourself. It definitely became a family. I guess I feel like the prodigal son in a way. Haha.

Thank you everyone in advance.

Edit: I’m in North Augusta, South Carolina

I’ve been thinking about the children and how they keep on telling Jade and Tabitha to remember, so what if the memory is not what we think?

We’re being led to believe the adults selfishly sacrificed the children of the town for immortality, but what if the whole town was manipulated?

I’m changing my whole perspective on this because looking at the kids laying on the stones again it dawned on me that the kids appear to be willingly lying down on the stones. They aren’t tied down, no restraints at all. What if the MIY or whatever entity is behind this convinced them they were saving everyone?

Just like we now know the MIY can speak into people’s minds. Maybe the town was dying from a plague, famine, or something terrible, and the entity promised eternal life if the children willingly took part in the ritual.

(Or if the kids didn’t do it, that he would kill all the adults)

The adults agreed because they thought they were saving their families, and the children agreed because they trusted the adults and thought they were helping. And they were promised they would live forever.

Then the whole thing twisted into a curse. The adults became the monsters, and the children became trapped in whatever state they’re in now and they’re all doomed to repeat this endless cycle.

I don’t know. I just think there’s something more to this than just the classic: the adults were evil and sacrificed the kids selfishly because we now know that everyone in the current town is being manipulated.

I mean, this would change the whole thought process of it being trying to save the children from the evil thing the adults did to stopping the true evil, the entity, breaking the cycle and setting things right.

That would mean they’re not only saving the children. They’re also saving the monsters. Think about that one.

What’s everyone thoughts on this angle?
