CrossFit Tennessee Marines

A look at the 2009 CrossFit Middle Tennessee OktoberFest Games and the Marine Corps Recruiting Station Nashville "Toughest Future Marine" competition. The TFMC pitted poolees (future Marines awaiting recruit training) from all over the state of Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi in CrossFit-type functional fitness workouts. This event took place Oct. 2-3, 2009. On-site were tons of sponsors, including 102.9 "The Buzz" FM who conducted a live radio broadcast of the event. The outcome of the event goes to show how incredibly successful Marines and CrossFitters can be when they team up. The speech near the end of the video is RS Nashville's Command Sergeant Major, introducing the final WOD, titled "The Morel." This workout is a benchmark WOD for Marines in Tennessee, named after fallen hero Capt. Brent Morel, a native of Memphis, Tenn. Captain Morel's parents came out to the event.
