Truly an inspiring performance Kim! Seeing your husband and your girls watch your determination and fight was an awesome sight. Definitely a top highlight of the CFHSV 2014 Open! Strong work :)

And Dennis, I just can't say it enough. I am beyond excited for you, and so very very proud of you Coach! Such an amazing accomplishment by such a great athlete. Can't wait to cheer you on to victory!! :)

Shirts turned out great!

This Makes Me Sooooo Happy!!!! Go Kim!

Congratulations DB! Echo what Mandee said a thousand times!

Kim it was an inspiring performance and the perfect picture to sum up what the open can be about!

Dennis - you are just plain awesome! Congrats

Back from my hiatus...

1. Tracey thank you for the coaching this morning, it was great as usual.

2. Kim, I am going to have a hard time wearing the shirt, because it brings a tear to my eye. Just so proud of you and being part of this experience. The open was many things to many people, but your grit through ALL of the WODs was inspiring. Seeing you fight for every rep, PR weights, and never give up... humbling! There were a lot of heroes for me, but I think the best part of it was the sense of team that I felt. Not a single WOD did I finish without high-fives, congrats, and fist bumps! For me 14.5 was heavy hearted... I had just said good-bye to my best friend in a most unexpected manner. Lucy Martha Eleanor was with me through so much, and I know she led a good life. But, as I type this with the snoring Dudley by my feet, I realize that Lucy, albeit special and amazing, gave me the gift of being able to love unconditionally. And without CFHSV, Dudley would not have been possible, and he really is too perfect!

3. Dennis Berry - wow! just WOW! you are an incredible athlete and coach. Can we get shirts that say "We are coached by the XX fittest 45-49 year old man alive!" Seriously, so proud of you!!!!

4. I kept it light today as it was really the first time back in what seemed like FOREVER!

Pure awfulness. That second one was brutal.

I love my Crossfit Huntsville family! None of this would be possible for me without such great coaching and encouragement from friends. I'm blessed to be with the best! Congratulations Dennis and I look forward to cheering you on til the end! And I want a Tshirt like Felicia mentioned above too! Way to go Dennis!

The 4x 500m is tough. You must go into the PAIN CAVE on this one.

This is why keeping a journal is fun... My 3rd WOD I ever did back in October was row sprints. On my 500M rows I did 2:26/2:19. It's nice to see results in black and white!

Congratulations CoachDB! I am very proud and honored to be coached by you.

way to go Coach!!
