Reminder the Gym will be closed Saturday April 18 for the Southern California CrossFit Games Qualifier.
This will be the second CrossFit South Bay Family post for the week. The gym is closed this weekend but the family will be together. Many of the family are headed to the Regionals this week to judge, to cheer, to compete, and to just enjoy the sport.
A special thanks to our coach Mariessa, who has done a fantastic job of coaching all, inspiring many to get certified, and preparing those who will compete this weekend.
Thanks to all of the athletes in the gym, you are all athletes, who drive each other to perform, who cheer for everyone, who send inspirational emails to help motivate, and helped create an atmosphere where people come even when they are not working out, just to feel the energy and the camaraderie.
This weekend the Box will be closed but the family will have a strong presence at the Regionals.
Good luck to all who are competing, and thanks to everyone who has provided encouragement and those who will be there cheering.
GO CFSB!
Yeah us!!
Don’t forget to post your times from the qualifier!
Awesome job everyone!!
Amazing day today! We witnessed some insanely strong work out of our athletes! They all ripped their hands on the first WOD and worked through until the end. Did a quick doctoring and headed back in for the 2nd WOD. I cannot begin to tell you the mental strength that they all put forth today. I am so impressed with all three of them overcoming obstacles and pushing past the point of wanting to quit, past the pain and past any previous effort that I have witness from them. Greg, Chip and Ruth: Thanks for representing CFSB – you all did an outstanding job today! Jump back in the ring and kill the last WOD tomorrow!
Thanks for all the encouragement and turnout, CFSB. It was amazing and so incredibly motivating to hear you all cheering us on. Can’t wait to cheer the rest of you on next year at regionals. Thank you Mariessa, for being such the quintessential coach, covering our mental needs by encouraging us (putting our accomplishments in perspective) and our physical needs by freezing coconut water and helping tape our hands. I’m going away for ten days, and the people I’ll miss the most is this family that you created for us. Thank you again.
Have a great trip Ruth. You definitely earned it! All of you – Ruth, Chip and Greg – did an extraordinary job fighting through those WODs this weekend. You all are true inspirations with your displays of heart and courage. While I’ve always had an enormous respect for your abilities, that respect has become a hundred times greater.
