So the days are counting down. In just 8 days the CRASH-B weekend will be upon us. Word on the street is that we have quite a CrossFit Crew headed to Boston this year. But, wait a minute: maybe a lot of avid CrossFitters have gone to compete in past years too. Maybe I just never knew they were there to cheer on? I know that once the fun of last year’s competition subsided, word trickled in that CrossFit Maine had some people there. CrossFit Boston had some phenomenal times from their participants, and I ran into and sat next to the owner of CrossFit Cape Cod to cheer on Eva Claire. Still, as the week after CRASH-Bs went on, I realized that I had missed many CrossFitters in that day’s race agenda.

This year I want to make more of an effort. My goal this year is to applaud every CrossFitter that is taking the time to train for and compete at the 2010 CRASH-Bs… or at least try. I want to join the CrossFitters that come to cheer on their fellow affiliates, and I want to do this LOUDLY!

But how can this work? There are hundreds of people at the Agganis on race day. Hundreds. It’s loud, and every time you make it a mission to wander around, you catch the start of a race and become entranced. How can I possibly know everyone that is racing and when? How will the CrossFit community know who we at Concept2 are?

Well for one thing I, personally, will have a couple of pretty good looking CrossFit Game Winners with me at all times, Tanya and Tommy, but I need more, there has to be more. In an effort to not over-think this too much I must point out that, logically, everyone will have access to the Concept2 booth at CRASH-Bs. Problem solved!

IF YOU ARE A CROSSFITTER THAT IS ATTENDING THE 2010 CRASH-B EVENT, I encourage you to sign the CrossFit Guest Book at the Concept2 booth, located at the top of stairs, 2nd floor of the mezzanine.

Please sign in just to say hi, or if you want a little cheer from fellow CrossFitters, put your time and race in the book. I will be checking in on this book throughout the day and will try to be there for all of you. And if I can’t make it to your race, maybe another CrossFit member signing the book will take note and come to cheer you on.

Come on guys don’t be shy! I have my pom poms and big foam finger ready and raring to cheer you on. Let’s bring some smiles and encouragement to those who have made the journey.
