Aubrey, sweet ass socks!!! LOVE it!
yessssssssssssssss i cant wait!!
Thank you for everyone from vagabond who came to cheer us on! it was great and very encouraging during the WODs to hear everyone screaming. For some of us it was our first time competing and for some of you, it was your first time watching a crossfit event, so we both experienced something very new and exciting. Now we need to contain that energy and briing it back to Vagabond because that is what crossfit is all about, having fun and putting it on the line regardless of the results. The energy was unreal from competitors and spectators. Now it is back to the lab on monday with O’Malley and focus on what we need to do for sectionals/affilate cup! I hope saturday opened some eyes to how big crossfit really is and how it is growing!! Thank you all once again!!!!
Yea this will be good, ashame none of us got a crack at it yesterday! And I second what Ross said, there were several times especially during event 3 that I wanted to take a longer break, but I had a pack of Vagabonds right next to me screaming “Come on John, get right back on it!” and I didn’t want to let you guys down, so thank you! And see you guys on monday!
congrats guys I hear you all did well i would have loved to be there!
I have noticed an intense rivalry amongst female vagabonds in the sport of sporting some amazing socks !
sorry Aubrey I believe that Melissa is still the undisputed champion
melissa’s socks are definitely fabulous and she’s definitely still the undisputed champ! rachael’s Halloween socks for the team wod were kick ass also :o)
