Kim fought for 56 minutes and 25 seconds, gaining momentum as she went, exemplifying our CFHSV motto of Finishing STRONG!
Way to go KIM!
AND….A HUGE congratulations to our very own Coach Dennis Berry for qualifying 5th in the Masters 45-49 year old Male Division and earning himself a ticket to the 2014 CrossFit Games! Dennis will travel to Carson, California in July to compete for the title Fittest 45-49 Year Old Man on Earth! Dennis, we are SO proud of you and are all inspired daily by your passion, dedication and hard work. WAY TO GO DENNIS!
DUE TO THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER, WE WILL BE CANCELING THE 515pm and 615pm CLASSES TODAY. Stay safe and stay weather aware!
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!

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.
