Faith, Family, and Friends....I know my journey has been different than most other competitors because I still train by myself in the dudgeon (AKA my un-air conditioned garage which does hit 95+ in the summer) and while I don't have the camaraderie that most of you have in your local box, I have found it in other ways and can't thank enough those who have been a part of my journey. To my wife, Heidi, and my kids (now adults - Brandon and Macayla) who have been my biggest fans over the years; to Phil and Bard at Burlington and Rockenbach (http://philburlington.com) who gave me the opportunity to compete in 2017 and are behind me in 2018 (your generosity and support are beyond words because without you this journey would have definitely come to an end); to Jordan (A/K/A Dr. Z at Elite Therapy & Wellness) for keeping the body moving (http://www.pbelitewellness.com/); to Miki Carey & Bob Jennings and all the members and coaches at Gardens Crossfit who have shared your box with me for most of the Open and Qualifier Wods; to Jeff Dempsey at Crossfit DOA who I can always call at any time as a backup when Gardens Crossfit is closed, to the other Crossfit box owners in the area who have also offered to allow me to use your boxes; to Faith Rxd West Palm Beach for always keeping me grounded; to the coaches at CompTrain for the exceptional programming and to all of my fellow competitors around the world.....you know who you are.....who have kept me entertained during the Open, Qualifier and even into the Games with your texts and emails. It has been an incredible journey. Thanks for sharing it with me. God Bless! @brig_edwards
