Any additional thoughts/shout-outs/comments:
A special thanks goes to Brooke, my one and only training partner. You’re the one who pushed me day in & day out to reach limits I never thought possible. I still to this day get “good morning” txts asking how the WOD went. :) Also, to my 6 am crew. You make it easy to get up so early! And, to the coaches who have all contributed to helping me improve every day!
