It is a CrossFit tradition to do burpees on your birthday, one for every year you’ve lived.
I got out of this last year, but today, working out with Lisa in Matt Cormier’s garage, it somehow came to pass that burpees-in-great-number were already on the docket, before my Saturday birthday was revealed to Matt.
So we did burpees-in-great-number, a 7 minute AMRAP. Both Lisa and I completed 64.
Mine were of various styles, relative to the reference burpee Matt performed, but I fell down, and got back up again, by whatever method, 64 times.
And I’m only turning 59!
