The Pack Thins: Herds Head to CrossFit

Recently, I was reading through some blogs when I noticed something out of the ordinary.  Taylar Stallings, who is an elite 165 lbs female, stated she would be dropping out of powerlifting for a short time after competing in this year's Raw Unity Meet. What caught me off guard was her reason. She wasn't hurt or burnt out. She was dropping out of powerlifting to compete in CrossFit. It's the same story with A.J. Roberts .  A CrossFit journal entry about him leaving powerlifting came out in Oct 2012.  Why are powerlifters running to CrossFit?
