Thursday’s WOD:
Some of you may have noticed the addition of 2 new flags at the gym.
I had not heard of these flags before they were given to me.
These flags are extremely special.
In CrossFit we often pay tribute to individual military veterans, fire fighters, and law enforcement officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
These two flags are a direct representation of firefighters and law enforcement officers who did just that.
The thin red line flag represents injured and fallen firefighters, and the thin blue line flag represents law enforcement officers.
Today we will honor a fallen firefighter and fellow CrossFitter. We last did his workout in 2014 after his untimely, yet heroic death.
Hanging the flags served as a good reminder to pay respect to the men and women in fire and law enforcement that risk their lives every day.

Monday’s WOD:Kirsty’s Send Off WOD
I know she’s not one for being in the spotlight, and she likes to maintain a low profile (unless she’s driving…then she’s usually speeding and getting pulled over)…but Kirsty is another athlete that has been with me since the beginning when we were known as Become CrossFit. She joined in December of 2012, and while today is her last day at Wild Horizons, it also marks the first day in a new chapter for her as she moves west to seek opportunities for herself in California. Good luck Kirsty. Thank you for your support of me, and my gym over the past few years, and of course thank you from Diesel and Chance for your daily walks and belly rubs.
