A Big Thanks!

The regional competitors have hacked the blog :) We first of all want to say thanks for everyone’s support last weekend.  The number of texts, FB comments, posts, and likes was overwhelming. Crossfit 540 has a support system like no other, and it meant more than we can say to represent our crossfit family in Chicago.

We owe the largest thank you, however, to the guy that got us there. All of you were able to follow the work that we were doing in Chicago. We were the ones in the pictures and in the FB updates, but we definitely can’t take all of the credit. Last weekend’s success was team effort, and our coach was our fearless leader every step of the way. Dax said it perfectly the other day. “Think about what we did… an old man, a six month crossfitter, two fairly new competitors, a girl who was 100 lbs last year, only one strong returning veteran, and a coach who could make it happen when handed a sack of lemons.”  He made it happen. He was at every practice: coaching, judging, analyzing split times, motivating, pushing; and when it was game time, he was there through every event knowing exactly what to say to motivate each of us. He was our rock.

All of us at 540 are very blessed in that all we have to do is show up to an awesome, supportive environment and do work at the 3.2.1, but there is A LOT of time and effort that goes into the programming. A LOT of energy that goes into helping each us become stronger, fitter, better crossfitters and individuals. He is the one to thank; he is the one who has built the 540 community that we all get to call family.

So to our fearless leader and friend, thank you. None of us could do this without you.
