2013 – 2019 . There has been physical changes for sure but the biggest change has been between the ears. . I have only experienced the emotion I felt during the picture on the right two times in my life. The first time was during the 2018 South regional when I crossed the finish line of the final event, knowing I had secured my win and a ticket to the @crossfitgames The second time, which is this picture on the right, was when I crossed the finish line on the final event of the @fittestincapetown securing my win and a ticket to the Games again. . I’m not sure how to describe the emotion I felt. Maybe “unlocked”. Maybe “triumph” maybe “electrified”. … I may never be able to describe it, but it is a visible, palpable emotion. . I think one of the biggest things that resonates with the difference in these two photos is something my dad said to me before taking the floor at the 2016 South regional. He knew how nervous I was and I was doubting if I could make it. He told me, “You belong here. You are one of the big guys. Don’t be intimidated. You go out there and you be the bully.” . That really clicked with me somehow. He didn’t mean bully in a mean way that is normally associated with the word. He meant that I need to trust myself, be the one setting the pace, and never back down. . I am in a constant state of growth and look forward to the next stage. . #crossfitcowboy #evolve #crossfit #crossfitgames
