I love the shirt!! Thanks for the idea of getting John to sign your shirt, David. I am going to do the same but have him sign it on my back. :) That was the most amazing thing to witness, and I am glad we have something to help us all remember it!

I have a chance to take an outdoor obstacle course for a test run this weekend and wanted to see if I could get any Crossfit friends to join me. It is in New Market at an outdoor camp. There is a 10 ft wall, long tube, rope climb, balance beam and a rope swing.

The director of the camp needs some people to run through it to test and make adjustments. You can contact me at [email protected]

Awesome job baby. Great work to all the athletes that PR'ed. I was not one of them and I blame John Hand for not showing up to sign my shirt. It ruined my morale and drive to succeed.

Anyone willing to trade me their medium Open Shirt for my large? They run bigger than the ones from last year, and I would like to have a medium. :)
