Happy First Fourth of July Jesper

Jesper, our Danish friend, is going back home on Monday to finish school and start his own CrossFit adventure. We have really brought him into our team here at CrossFit Portland and will miss him very much. This is his first trip to America and also his first Fourth of July. We took him on a sight seeing tour of the Gorge yesterday. Where else could you go to make a snow angel on a mountain, go swimming, and checkout a waterfall up close on the same day?

Jesper also adopted the Paleo diet once he arrived in early May. He was already fairly fit from soccer and CrossFit back in Denmark. Here are some before and after pictures though.

Somewhere in this workout, Matt lost his ability to reason and worry. Feels good doesn’t it?
