I just accomplished a goal that I set six months ago with my great friend Brooke Cochran. We completed the CrossFit Open as prescribed. We have gotten fitter and stronger literally and figuratively and I am so grateful to have had such a great friend to push me. Thanks to all those at Carport CrossFit who encourage and inspire me to be better than I am. Much love to all of you!!! ~ Cynthia Raulston

Great Job everyone Cynthia and Brooke! And everyone.
I am so proud of everyone that competed in the open this year! You guys did amazing! Now...who's in for 2014?! :)
From CFit Lisbeth today- what's your favorite?! Mine is the last one- air IS delicious! :)
10 Things I Learned at the Open
1.) You can’t just want it really bad. You have to train really freakin’ hard all year too. Duh.
2.) You can always do more than you think you can. And if you can’t? Then you needed that blow to your ego anyhow …
3.) Your friends at the box want you to do well almost more than you do.
4.) If you didn’t nod your head to #3, then you might need a new box or you might be a jerk with no friends. Either way, you should probably look to make some changes …
5.) Dave Castro must not have been hugged enough as a small child.
6.) If you call any workout “easy” then you’d better be at the top of the leaderboard.
7.) In your gym, the bravest person might not be at the top of the leaderboard — the bravest person might actually be at the bottom.
8.) “Pain” spelled backwards is close to “nap” … and, yeah, you earned it.
9.) After 150 wallball, double-unders will leave the casually committed faster than a pissed-off girlfriend. You’re sweating and stumbling and blowing snot, and your dubs are walking away, one hand up, not wanting to put up with your half-hearted effort anymore.
10.) Air is delicious.
So proud of all of the Carporters!! Y'all did amazing in the Open!
I LOVE the list. No #3 is my favorite and is evidenced by all the cheering yesterday. I could hear Bill, "Get back on the bar", Oatie, "GET UP THERE!" and I could see Brooke jumping up and down telling me I was going to be able to get another thruster but had to "GET TO THE BAR!"
Oh and #7:)
I'm going to have to go w/ #'s 2 & 3... I am so proud to be a part of this amazing box of athletes!! Ya'll ALL are amazing in your own right! I can't imaging sweating, hurting, bleeding and cheering for & with a better family than ours!! Carport CF for life baby!!!
Great picture ladies and congratulations to everyone who competed.
That picture really makes me smile!
I agree about the picture. I think me, Eddie, Sam and Shane need a group hug photo too.
#'s 1, 3and 7 are my favorites.
Cynthia and Brooke - congratulations on doing all these wods RX! You two have trained super hard for months and YOU DID IT!! Thanks to Coach Cori for helping you two with your training program.
Thanks Amber and we wouldn't be anywhere without our coaches!!! All of you have helped in so many ways. Carport coaches rock! :)
