Today I’d like to take a moment and say thank you for the unbelievable outpouring of praise and support that I received after qualifying for the the American Open this morning. Back in July I talked about taking your fitness outside of the gym and challenged folks to go out there and compete. I challenged CFA and the community and did they ever respond, we’ve had a ton of athletes that stepped outside of their comfort zone, and put themselves out there. I’m going to attempt to recognize all the athletes and coaches that have competed since I put out the challenge. I’ve done my very best to include everyone, but if for some reason I accidently miss someone please add to the comments below and I’ll update the list. Here we go!
