John’s 50th birthday is technically on Saturday, the 26th, but we’re going to celebrate today with a fabulous birthday WOD, hand picked by the man himself.
John (as you all know) is an outstanding human being. Aside from being incredibly fit, and an excellent coach who has a taste for challenging workouts, hes also a very well respected and accomplished professor, though you’d never hear it from him.
That is perhaps John’s most admirable quality; he is humble. It makes all of his accomplishments and characteristics even more impressive, because even though he’s got every right to boast, he has no interest in doing so. Instead, he leads by example, and lets his actions speak for him.
At 50 years of age, hes fitter and stronger that 95% of people you’ll come across in your day to day life, at any age. He is an inspiration, and we’re proud to celebrate his birthday with him.
Happy Birhtday John!
