First and foremost, THANK YOU! to everyone for their support. That includes everything from putting up with my zone meals for 8 weeks (and my crazy cheats), for dealing with the mean faces I threw out during muscle up practice, and for every word of encouragement that was said along the way. Thank you to everyone who signed the amazing poster Stephanie Chiu made! And for all that made Memorial Day weekend about Regionals instead of family picnics and BBQs. Thank you for all of the texts, emails and messages on FB, as well as all of the positive thoughts being sent throughout the weekend. They were all felt and appreciated. Rare is the athlete or person who achieves great things without a team of incredible people supporting them along the way. For all of that, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If I could only share the most important thing I walked away with from this experience, it is that every challenge is worth taking. Although many of us have fears that hold us back from trying things that seem daunting for fear of failing, there is a good chance we will succeed! Don't let doubts or what-ifs get in the way of your potential for greatness. That is something you can apply to the smallest things in your life, to the biggest hurdles or goals. I learned so much about myself this weekend and came out knowing that all of the hard work and faith put into this effort was worth it.
Do great things!!!! Who's ready for 2013 Games season??????
Love,
K

THANK YOU to the montclair peeps too for sticking around and offering support!!!
K, your performance at regionals was pure inspiration. Not only was your competitive drive incredible, you displayed heart, integrity and a true combination of strength and grace. You embody the true spirit of crossfit. It is an honor to be part of what you have built and what you continue to nurture on a daily basis. I am so proud of you. XO
Regionals were an amazing celebration of an 8 week journey which you conquered reservations, fears and perceived limitations. To dedicate yourself to something and truly pursue something that is challenging physically, mentally and emotionally is admirable and something we can all take away from your experience. Thank you for showing us all what it looks like to dive head first into the realm of uncomfort, to enter into the arena and lay it all out on the line. I know how hard you worked and that should not be forgotten either. You worked your ass off for 8 weeks in and out of the gym, with meals, recovery, skills, everything. Your actual performance at Regionals was amazing, but honestly just icing on the cake. In my heart and in my mind you won before 3,2,1 go of the first workout. So proud of you K Animal
AWESOME post, perfectly said!
K!
U r a inspiration for loads of people… But even if I havent know u properly, u are still inspiring for me… Selfconfidence, courage, smiles, support and good heart makes u a big person to learn from… I cannot believe how CF has challenge myself in my everyday things… Fears, insecurities are there!! But we demostrate that we can challenge ourselfs if we want and if we try to believe in ourselves…
Again Thanxs to u to make things at this way!!!
