Operation PLUTO 1944
(Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean)

Have you ever wondered how the U.S.Army supplied gasoline for all the vehicles needed during the invasion of Normandy?

Operation PLUTO (Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean) (1944)

Yes Operation PLUTO made certain that would be a continuous flow of fuel to keep all military equipment moving.

Becky Conzelman - "A Life Time Ago"!

 


Becky Conzelman will never forget that day in June 2011 when she put up a 160-pound thruster -- a personal record -- in front of a screaming crowd at the Mid Atlantic Regional. (Reebok CrossFit Games)

Becky Conzelman was not always known as a Champion CrossFit Athlete; She has only been in CrossFit since 2008. Prior to that time, she lived in a totally different world in the not too distanat past.

A recent FaceBook post reminded us that Becky was a Champion in a different sport in another life! Without benefit of photos we were ask to identify that two sport champion. Very few that know Becky now or then failed to provide the correct answer.

So for those of you that did not know Becky back then, here are a few photos of that outstanding two-sport Champion in her other element.

A note from Everette to Becky: You will be happy to learn that I lost 22 pounds since that photo of the two of us was taken.
