SPOTLIGHT:
With regionals quickly approaching, I wanted to give you guys an inside look at the Affiliate Team members and an individual spotlight on each of them. Each Teamer will get their own day to answer some questions I (Daren) put together about CrossFit, life, and other random stuff. This will hopefully show everyone why our team is so unique and make you understand why what they are doing is so freakin incredible. Please enjoy and feel free to comment on what you think about some of their answers and give them encouragement as regionals comes flying towards us.
