Top: sectionals 2010 in a gymnasium in Squamish with 20 other competitors and probably 20 spectators.
Bottom: CrossFit open 15.5 at home at @raincityathls alongside 50+ #rathletes and 300,000 around the world.
It was hard for me to finish the open on a bad note. Though I decided going in this year my priorities were on my business and my #rathletes, there's nothing worse than finishing a workout knowing you had so much more in you. Rather than redoing it to please my ego I decided to sit and let it dwell and simmer. Learning from my own failures (and injuries, and mistakes, and all the stupid shit I do in general) is what helps me grow and develop as a coach for my #rathletes. #dowhatisaynotwhatido

It's an honor to continue to be the part of a sport that I've watched develop from the photo above in a gymnasium in Squamish, to completing these wods alongside my #raincityathletics family in an incredible home that we've built.
A huge shout out to all of the absolute animals out there, the level of athlete now blows my mind; to every single Raincity member you guys inspire me every single day and I couldn't be more proud; to my close friend #jamestwopointoh who's now heading in to stage 2 to try to qualify for the @crossfitgames masters; and to all of the coaches & staff at Raincity who have helped create the amazing thing that we've got, and allowed me to step back and enjoy it :) Time to get back to focusing on what's really important in training... #beachready #thefittestspectators #lookgoodtraingood #absfordays #gunshow #asslikebeyonce #bicepslikebedry
