“R-21” CF864 – Rest Day
WOW, What a great day! “THANK YOU” to everyone that came out and participated in the WOD today and a special thanks to all of the “CrossFit 864 crew” that worked so hard helping us make this day such a huge success. Many of you volunteered your personal time doing different projects around the gym over the last week. Just in case you didn’t know…we have an unbelievable amount of talented and skilled individuals in our gym. We really don’t want to start listing names because we might leave someone out and all of you helped or offered to help which is just another reason that the CrossFit community is so awesome and why we think (know) that you are the best! You know who you are!
If you were there today then I don’t need to say anything about the level of intensity in the gym during the workout and if you were unable to be there then I will just say that you missed the opportunity to witness and incredible group of athletes giving everything that they had to honor a hero – “R-21” Trooper Mark Coates. We were very happy to have CrossFitters in our box from Greenville (welcome back guys), CrossFit Spartanburg (Big Thanks to Tal for bringing a load of kettlebells down along with his firebreathing athletes) all of you guys at CrossFit Greer you were awesome. All of you are welcome back at CrossFit 864 whenever you are ready. We are glad that you guys were able to hang around after the workout and enjoy some good food, paleo and a little non-paleo. Wasn’t the bbq awesome (Thanks Mike!) We were very excited to have Mrs. Coates (Mark’s Mother and Mark’s Wife) with us today to share in the special time of honor. We are appreciative of the South Carolina Highway Patrol for supporting the event – Thanks Lt. Gil Owens. Thanks to the guys at Clinton Department of Public Safety for giving us a good safe stretch on roadway in front of the gym for our run…ya’ll rock!
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
1 John 3:16-17
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. -Benjamin Disraeli
A hero is a man who is afraid to run away. -English Proverb
Have a great Sunday, get plenty of rest and we will see you Monday.
Oh, yea….we have a new load of t-shirts in with the CF864 logo and we have some of the t-shirts left from the “R-21” Hero workout. The shirts went fast today so check for you size/color on Monday if you are interested in one.
3-2-1- Go!
