Videos are uploaded to YouTube, search Dennis Cole CrossFit. I found CrossFit in 2007. Was hooked immediately and worked out in a little space in my garage for a couple of years, and not long after, the whole family was doing it in some form. I do CrossFit because I love the competitive nature of it. I have made the Games four times now and 2017 is my best finish so far. My first year, 2012, I ended up in 13th position and missed the final workout by just one spot. In 2015, I qualified for my 2nd time--given that I was 54 in the 50-54 age group that year, I hadn't expected to make it again. I didn't make the cut for the final workout again. In 2016, first year in the 55+ age group, I was in 5th position going into the final workout of the Games--and in warm up with the hang cleans, I tore my bicep and was out of the competition--so missed the final workout AGAIN. Had surgery less than a week later, and started back training earlier than doc would have liked, but that's how I roll. This year, I WILL be in that final event! #fingerscrossed
