Congrats to you all!! Way to go!!

Congrats everybody! I can't say enough about how awesome Saturday was. Casey and TJ, it was incredibly cool and inspiring to tackle this with you guys.

This was the hardest thing physically I have ever done in my life. Probably one of the toughest mentally too. I spent many hours contemplating on whether or not I should even try. I wont' lie, it does suck to get so close and come up short but the disappointment always fades quickly as the positives inevitably bubble up.

8 months ago I couldn't have completed a single one of the movements. 4 months ago I couldn't have done a third of them. 4 days ago, I came a few reps short of green. Thank you Coach DB for your excellent programming and all of the CFHSV coaches for your constant motivation. I will look forward to next year's test like Christmas day.

Congrats to everyone who made the teams! I look up to each and every one of you. Saturday was truly a blessing in disguise. At first, I was hit with lumps in my throat- feelings of disappointment and frustration, and even felt dispirited; thinking I shouldn't even be in a gym with these magnificent people! However, my pity party ended quickly- destroyed by a new love for the sport, and raging fire to become the best athlete I can be. Although I may have come up a little short, I set several PR's, realized what I need to work on, gained even more respect than I thought possible for all of CFHSV's athletes, saw just how hard I could push myself, and most importantly gained a new insight to the sport. I am so thankful to be a part of such a profound community, where the coaches provide continuous support and superb programming and build wonderful relationships with all of its athletes. I am so glad I had the opportunity to test myself, and see just how far I had come in a little under a year.
Watch out black shirt club-I'm comin' for ya!

Emerald and Rob, you two have the right attitude and motivation. There is no doubt you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.

Made me cry reading those! Love Crossfit. Always chasing something. Congrats to all of the athletes that battled through that Saturday! What an accomplishment. Proud to call you all friends!

Congratulations to all athletes who participated on Saturday! It was such a fun event with outstanding performances by all! :)

I was in awe watching this event unfold from the sidelines as my friends engaged in a 3+ hour battle with self determination and physical fatigue. I'm very proud to stand in your shadows. Jt

It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

Congrats to all the black and green shirt athletes. Especially the bearded guy at the bottom ☺️

I went with the lighter weight because I wanted to sprint as fast as possible. I knew the 135 would slow me down substantially.

Ring Muscle-Ups, by the way.

Way to go Jamie!!! :)
