My first CrossFit workout was done somewhere around 1965 on a farm near Othello, Washington. I am one of 7 boys born in my family, no girls. One day, two of my older brothers decided they were going to have a competition between myself and my next older brother who is 18 months older than me. We were to run to the bridge, about 400m away from the house, run back, then do pushups, situps, and pullups on the clothesline supports. At 3,2,1 go I was off like I was shot out of a cannon. I made it to the bridge way ahead of Greg and started back. About halfway up the hill I hit the wall and collapsed in the road writhing in agony. As Greg jogged by me he said something like “See you at the pullup bar, if you make it that far.” I learned about pacing that day. I will have been married to my high school sweetheart Becki for 45 years on September 10th 2022. We have two children, Eric and Matt who both live the same community as us. I have been doing CrossFit for almost 10 years and it has been quite a journey. I participated in High School sports but never played any college ball. I have qualified for the Online Qualifier since it’s inception but 2017 was first year I qualified for the Games. I’m not exactly an overnight sensation…slow and steady seems to be my M.O.
