10. What results have you seen so far in coming to CFE? Incredible coaching that is showing me how to get better at certain movements instead of just using mobility as an excuse. I appreciate being told, “we can help you with that”. 

11. Do you have any special or successful CrossFit Eclipse memories/moments? Winning a Dundie – whatever that is , getting a friend to sign up, and challenging for a top spot in the 200 m, 55# kb lunges and box step overs just this week. That’s my favorite workout here so far. 

12. What sort of life changes have you experienced because of CrossFit that you didn’t expect? in 2017, my doctor gave me three months to get my cholesterol in check or he said I would need to be on medication. That’s when I joined CrossFit. After three months, he told me to keep doing whatever I was doing because it was working. 

13. What advice would you give to a newbie or someone just joining CrossFit Eclipse? i tell my friend who just signed up A. Just be you and don’t worry about what anyone else is doing or what weight they are lifting. Compete against yourself. B. Don’t be afraid to ask the coach questions. 

14. Current training Goals/PRs? Going against everything I tell my friend, I will finish a workout faster than Chad Arnold, Daniel Tucker, or Brad Whitmus before I turn 50. I was sooooo close on that run, Kb workout I mentioned above – . I do need to get stronger. Trying to stay one or two days a week after class to lift. 

15. If you could create a WOD and name it for yourself, what would it be? Running – Hang power Cleans 115# – and Dubs. Those three movements and load are my sweet spot. Three rds for time : 800 m run – 15 hpc – 100 dubs
