Double Under Master
Rhonda, FGB II
With CrossFit Director Josh Wells at a GSX Happy HourMeet Rhonda Felton, if you haven't already. Rhonda started CrossFit at GSX in March 2008 and comes from a background in running, and tennis (gotta love the outfits).
Rhonda hates burpees. "When I started I had NO upper body strength. I feel better about my upper body strength than ever before and love doing double unders and squats the most. I just feel stronger all the way around...nothing specific, but "feel" it!"
"The thing that I love the most, actually it was so unexpected, are the relationships and friendships that I have developed. Real relationships with people that I might have missed getting to know. This is what makes GSX great."
"I got my first pull-up with a group of people cheering me on...I could have NEVER done it without them. I showed up one morning early and my 6:00 AM friends could tell I was sad...they comforted me. I never expected THAT aspect of it, such a bonus. I feel like I am in on the best kept secret in Ft. Worth! I LOVE the people like Josh, Mo, Wes, Chuck, Tucker, Scott..the list goes on & on!"

Women of GSX, werdQualifier Volunteers, Check Your Email
Greetings all,You are receiving this email to confirm your status as a volunteer for the Southwest Regional CrossFit Games Qualifier at Hell's Half Acre, May 2nd and 3rd, 2009. This email will also be the first of several scheduled updates prior to the Qualifier.
On behalf of Tucker, Jeremy Thiel, and Dutch, we are honored to have you all on board. Your offer and efforts will help make this the best Qualifying Event in the world.
As of this writing, our event has sold out all available competitor spots, and we are now identifying and assigning staff positions. A volunteer briefing has been scheduled at GSX on Friday, May 1st at 6pm, just prior to the Social Dinner. The briefing will cover specific assignments, judging/movement standards, the three selected WODs, medical plan, etc.
We want to make certain that each of you get the opportunity to watch and support your friends, and loved ones compete, and we will spare no effort to make sure that happens.
We now have two things to ask of you.
Item one, we need your t-shirt size for your staff shirt.
Item two, we need more volunteers, particularly those willing to judge. Please spread the word.
Thank you all for your time and consideration. I sincerely look forward to meeting and working with each of you at this first of it's kind event. Please email me or call with any questions or concerns you may have, and we will get you taken care of.
Please respond by Friday, April 3, 2009.
Respectfully,
Mike Deavers on behalf of Tucker, Jeremy, and Dutch

Never before had three police officers died in the line of duty on the same day.
