As a lot of you know I played rugby for over 10 years. My last club was ORSURFC (Oregon Sports Union Rugby Football Club) in Portland. I recently received an email from, "Sherri" an active ORSU club member, she told me about the murder of ORSU rugby player, Lindsay Babb. Lindsay played rugby for a club (and group of people) that are very near and dear to my heart! In the email, I was told that Lindsay had started CrossFit (also a group of people who are near and dear to me) in Portland, at HEL (Human Evolutionary Labs.) I have never met Lindsay, but knowing that she was a fellow rugby player and CrossFitter, there was no hesitation in saying yes to posting the Lindsay Babb memorial WOD.
