I have my son to thank for introducing me to CrossFit. He started while in college, working out hard over the summers, and continually encouraged me to try out this thing called CrossFit. I told him "I'm too old.” He is persistent and ten years ago now he lured me in to taking my first introductory class at a local box. I’ve been hooked ever since to the physical grit and mental toughness, that this sport requires. Over and over again I fall back on those skills in my personal life having dealt with numerous challenges. And, I work full-time as a Director of Client Delivery at Heller Search, an IT executive search firm, so the demands on my time are great. I am a person who has always looked for the next and greatest challenge in life, and CrossFit helps to satisfy that tenacity that is innate in me. I don't have an athletic bio, I was a runner for years, completing a marathon (4:21), countless half marathons, and 10, 5 and 3K road races, frequently running through injuries, so finding the balance that CrossFit provides has been game changing. I didn't do this alone, it truly takes a village and a strong support system. My two children Danielle and Tom, and their significant others Brian and Melanie, make everything I do meaningful and worthwhile, they support me regardless of how crazy things get, and fitness is a big part of their lives. Of course, there are so many others who I appreciate so much. Thank you, Matt Lawrence and Rose Colleran, for pushing me every day to work harder and reach my potential. Sue Patterson and Lisa Wentworth, for always being my CrossFit Ninjas and being by my side for the 2018 an 2019 Games. Cristina Anderson, Head Coach at CrossFit Medfield, arrived this year and she quickly began mentoring me. After having knee surgery last May I never thought I'd make it through Quarterfinals and SemiFinals and now I'm of to the Games for the 4th time. Christina has spent her precious time, encouraged and pushing me. This has been an incredible journey, and I can't wait to see the 9 amazing women who I will compete with at this year's 2023 CrossFit Games. Who would have thought that “I’m too old” would turn into “I’m a fourth times Games Athlete!”
