During the early hours of Monday, November 19th, an act of unspeakable violence took the life of our coach, Joe Lengel, as he was opening our box for the morning. Joe was the foundation of our CrossFit family, and we are all mourning the loss of a great man, father, grandfather, husband, mentor, and friend. Joe’s sons, Aaron and Matt, both avid CrossFitters, created a Hero WOD in honor of their father. It’s made up of movements that Joe loved and hated (in a good way). We ask that instead of mourning for Joe, you honor and celebrate his life on Saturday November 24 and join many others across the globe by completing the “Joe” Memorial WOD.

I had the honor of meeting Joe this past September when I was in Toledo for work. He was nice enough to let me drop in free of charge a couple times during the week. A very generous an inspirational man. I’m sure you folks at MCCF put forth their usual balls to the wall effort for this one!
