More good byes!
Last week the Rockwells left us for Northern Va. They will be missed, but will hopefully be back in few years - or five!
This week we are losing Heather to a much warmer climate! She's heading to Tempe, AZ & ASU. We wish her the best - and at least she made sure there was a CrossFit Affiliate there before she accepted her new job! Carlin's also leaving this week, heading to Argentina. Unfortunately, there is no CrossFit there ... Carlin has asked us to move there and open one. Highly unlikely! My Spanish is limited to "dande el banyo" and "mas cervesa por favor."
The two best aspects of owning CrossFit Blacksburg are improving peoples lives and building an incredible community! It's great to hear everybody greeting each other by name as you walk in... or as you leave...cheering until everbody finishes the WOD. So when we lose people, it affects us all.
While some of you may have never even met the Rockwells or Heather or Carlin due to class times, you have still been influenced in some way by their presence.
CrossFit Blacksburg - we appreciate you all!

Heather and Carlin - I will miss you so much….It is just such fun working out with you both!! And Carlin - you just have to start your own CrossFit affiliate in Argentina..no excuses.
I’m just so jealous, as I just love moving around…so have a great time and who knows, our paths may cross at other places.
