Gone To The CrossFit Games
July 29, 2011 Filed in: CrossFit | Los Angeles
"Be patient. Your fitness level is something that is going to generally take a long time to get to where you think you want it. And when you are there, you will want it higher.

That can help keep things in good perspective."
