I am a 70 year old woman who holds the distinction of being the oldest person in our Box. I have been involved in Cross fit since May of 2015 and really enjoy it. I try to attend 3-4 times per week. I have always been active physically, and hold 8 gold and 1 silver medal in Master's Track as well as having participated and completed Ride the Rockies here in Colorado numerous times. I want to set an example for my grand-kids that you are never too old to try something new and growing old does not mean "stop growing". I am also undergoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer and have been for the last 3 years. Cross-Fit helps me stay strong and positive. Competing in the 2020 open and then judging other box members certainly makes the experience more rich and fulfilling. I love being around the groups as they compete and cheer each other on.
