The Thoroughbred vs The Underdog vs The Trainer

Not only was wednesday july 1st, a celebration of Canada’s Birthday, it was also the day Mr. Edwin Lucas, AKA, Fast Eddie showed that age is just a number. The challenge was set just a few days in advance, and in true CrossFit Style, no preparation was given. The results would be decided not only who could row 5000m the fastest, but who was prepared for anything, anytime, anywhere. The contestants were the aforementioned Fast Eddie, his son J.T., and the master mind behind the challenge, Jordan Glasser, the owner and trainer CrossFit Whistler.
When asked about the event, Jordan had this to say. “I had to level the playing field, given JT’s age and power, it would have been no contest to if it were a short distance. The event needed to be measured without a coach present, after all JT is in Australia. And picking a 5000m row a distance that none of us would choose seemed like the logical choice.”

The ball is now in JT’s court, and the public is waiting anxiously for his results. His performance this week in the 2000m row would have qualified for the top spot in CrossFit Whistler’s gym, but will he come through in the longer more grueling event.

Fast Eddie currently holds the top spot, beating his younger coach in a head to head battle. In the meantime we await anxiously for the underdog’s results……
