10.7.15- Happy Birthday Ashley

By WODNo Comments
Happiest of birthdays to this goon!

Happiest of birthdays to this goon!

Happy Birthday to the girl that introduced me to all of you. Ashley was one of the main reasons why I decided to move my life down here and begin this journey with you all at CrossFit Speakeasy. For that, I am forever thankful. Ashley- may today (and the rest of your 27th year) bring you everything you could ever hope and dream for. You’re not perfect, by any means, and you know I will be the first person to tell you that…but you are one hell of a human being. You have one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever met, and I am so thankful that yours caught mine. I would not get half of the things done in a day that I need to if it weren’t for you. And I sure as hell would have no idea where I was supposed to be or what I was supposed to be doing. I wouldn’t know my head from my ass if it weren’t for you. Thank you, Ashley- for being you and being with me. I love you. Happy Birthday!

10.5.13- Congratulations!!

By WODNo Comments

Not sure where to even begin…but congratulations to all 6 teams who competed at the 3rd Annual Battle of the Boxes at Monmouth CrossFit. We had 4 teams place in the Top 10. That’s crazy. Personally, this was my first competition really being able to represent Speakeasy since I have become a part of this community, and it was the most fun I have had in a very long time. The amount of support that was show for all of our teams was incomparable to anyone else. People chanting “SPEAKEASY”, everyone watching everyone compete and making sure everyone knew when someone was going. It was just awesome. We have something very special here, and anyone and everyone who was at that competition witnessed it. Thank you for that guys, seriously.
