Crossfit GP goes to Sectionals…
Chris and Becky will soon be on their way up to Portland to compete in the Crossfit Sectionals this weekend. I started to think about how the majority of the general public would not have the slightest clue or care as to what a Crossfit Sectional entails. Our little community of Crossfitters as well as the little pockets of Crossfit communities growing rapidly around the world have quite a different view entirely. I realized that this is a culmination of so many things for so many different kinds of people. For Chris and Becky it represents loads of work completed faithfully. Mental battles. Physical battles. Emotional and spiritual battles. At the risk of getting a little sappy, I just want to communicate to Chris and Becky as well as our whole Crossfit community how consistently inspired I am by people like Chris and Becky. Not because of their awesome abilities with the 10 general physical skills, or their physique or beautiful clean and jerks. I am inspired that they continue, day after day, to lead the rest of us to something much greater than ourselves. Your example inspires change in people. It has inspired change in me. I see other people in our gym changing. Their lives are changing in a profound way and yet you both are the best example of humility in our gym. You never make it about you and therefore others are able to see clearly that it is not about you and it gives every one of us the freedom to work in our own capacities and feel good about our work, to process through failures, to share great successes. As you stand at the competition this weekend, I hope you both will remember these things, stand tall, let your CrossfitGP shirts be seen and SHINE BRIGHTLY. You are loved and we are with you!
Have been up since 4 something thinking about Chris and Becky. Oh yeah, it helped I had a baby to feed and diaper, etc. I am so excited to hear updates. Corrie and Ryan, make sure you keep us posted on results and I will be checking the main page as well. Go CrossFit GP! Good luck Chris and Becky…I am thinking about you both and know you will do great!
Cor,
Could’ve said it better. I was just eating breakfast and looked at the time and I was thinking how those guys are feeling just minutes before the start. I wish I was there.

wow guys… I wish we were all there to cheer them both on!! Sending positive energy up to Portland all day long!
After 2 of 3 events, and the end of day one, CFGP is represented by the 4th place man and woman overall. Both athletes are feeling good. Becky said her hips were very tired. The last set of 20 ring dips she had to do two and three at a time, and then one. Only 7 women finished that workout, Becky with the 3rd place time. Now, all they need is a good nights rest, and they will rock the house tomorrow.

Go CFGP. Becky and Chris, you both rocked the house. Congrats, we are all proud of you.
Thank you so much CF GP family for your encouragement and support.
Going to sectionals was fun. I had a great time hanging out with Chris and Ollie.
WOD 3 was super hard. Chris and i laughed about our burpee experience. It was pretty funny looking back on it. At the time i was just thinking, ” am i going to finish these….ever?”
had my first ice bath ever…….. interesting.
i think seattle will be great when we’re all there together.
