Since my husband, Clay, would probably never do it, I decided to hijack his Athlete Profile and update it. I’ll do it better than he would anyhow. Clay has been a commercial real estate developer and investor for over 35 years. He got into CrossFit in 2012 after going through some serious health challenges with Crohn’s Disease. Oh yeah, he’s had a prosthetic hip since 2004, due to a degenerative problem when he was a kid. He has also had both knees replaced, and a few other surgeries along the way. None of this has slowed him down. He is a two-time Games athlete; and a black diamond skier, former triathlon competitor, and golfer (if you can call golf a sport). He has climbed Grand Teton and Mt. Whitney, competed in Hyrox, and does whatever outdoor adventures he can fit in. The determination to become the healthiest he can be is evident today by his peak physical condition. And yes, he has a hot bod – for any age! We live in Park City, Utah and have two sons – Spencer (34), a software engineer in Seattle, and Garrett (31), a microgreens farmer in North Carolina – both are Crossfitters. We've been married since 1991! I hear lots of great stories about why people love CrossFit. But when I ask Clay why he competes in this crazy sport, he simply says, “Because it makes me a better person – mentally, emotionally, spiritually.” That’s good enough for me!
