Finally, I would like to give a big congrats to everyone that showed up and competed.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did.  If you came away from this event with a stronger resolve to be healthier, get stronger, and be better - then I consider it a great success. 

Remember, healthy competition is fun but Crossfit is not here to compare yourselves with others;  its about learning about yourself and growing.  The only real competition is you against yourself.  Strive to reach personal records - push yourself to unseen heights - become the fittest you've ever been.   This should be your mindset.

Thanks again for coming.  I would love any feedback, both good and bad.
