Great work Champ!!
I don't know where you found the strength and power- You are all HEART!! Great work to all that made the trip.

I couldn't tell, who was the little girl in the background? I could only hear her voice cracking! The camera never panned over to her? I guess we'll never know?

Thanks guys! I can't say thank you enough to everyone from our apex family. Your support through emails, comments, messages, phone calls, prayers, dedication wods and more mean so much to me. It was the most exciting weekend and I'm so fortunate to be able to share it with so many great people. Thank you for all of your support and energy throughout the entire weekend!

Josh- You did great this weekend, I'm so proud of you! Way to fight through Sunday with your wrist. You were right up there with the big name boys! Thank you for believing in me from the beginning and for helping me through the tough emotion and mental moments. I can't tell you how much I needed your words and cheers, especially Sunday. I love you and I don't know what I'd do without you!

To Coach Mike- Thank you for EVERYTHING this weekend! You were an awesome coach and a lifesaver for both of us out there. Thank you for keeping us as calm and confident (as could be expected) while at the ranch. Thanks for losing your voice for us...your voice pierced through them all and your words got us through it all. It was a weekend we'll never get back and we'll never forget!

I can't describe the games in words but I do hope that next year we can take a whole team to California so that everyone can experience the atmosphere and energy first hand! It's just incredible!

Tanya I can't say in words how hard it was to watch your last event especially when you were pulling ahead of Gillian. I felt a flow of so many emotions feeling as if I could scream, pass out, cry .....etc. You did a wonderful job throughout each and every event. The energy and skill you demonstrate is definitely elite. Thanks for being so good at what you do, it has helped push me to keep up! We can now sit and relax looking back at one of the best weekends of our lives.
Time to train for Games 09.
3-2-1-Out!
Love you!
