October 2, 2007TUESDAY 091002Cover Guy Breck Berry of CrossFit Jenks. "I do a lot of local 5km's and other road races here in Oklahoma just for the competition. I stick to the WOD's and do no other supplemental running besides what CrossFit calls for. I have consistenly ran in the 18 minute range on all my 5km's and have managed to have a few in the 17 minute range. I usually place in the top 10 and usually always place in the top 3 in my age group 30-34. Last month I opened my mailbox to find a copy of the Oklahoma Runner magazine with me on the cover. I thought this was ironic since I am not what you call a true runner. Everyone at the races always ask how I train and how many miles I put in during the week. When I tell them CrossFit and that I rarely run more than 3-5 miles a week on the CrossFit program, many of them I don't think believe me." -Breck Berry Quantico Affiliate Discussion, Part X: Comments

Thanks for opening CrossFit Jenks, Breck! Still can't believe you charged me to sign my copy of the magazine. Comment #5 - Posted by: Jeff at October 2, 2007 9:34 AMCongratulations, this is one of the best Crossfit stories yet. I'd love to open the mailbox and find myself on the cover of an athletics magazine... And mybe I should keep an eye on Muscle and Fitness, just in case! Comment #6 - Posted by: Eric Lester at October 2, 2007 9:46 AMI knew we'd see you in pictures soon. Congrats Breck on the Cover and on opening CrossFit Jenks. The gym looks great. I need to get by to see it in person. Paddy This guy's 100% for real. He has a 3 minute Fran and I believe he came in 5th in the CrossFit Games this summer. And he's NOT a runner! Pure CrossFitter just like he says. Great Job Breckles!!! I'm so proud of you! Nicole Totally awesome. Comment #10 - Posted by: James Humphrey, Jr. at October 3, 2007 4:53 PMThat's amazing work.
