Happy birthday, Jeff King!
I wanted to take a minute to not only give a birthday shout out to my goof friend, Jeff, but to also thank him for being such a stand up guy. As many of you know, Jeff was on the CrossFit 808 Team that finished 1st at the NorCal Regional last month. What you may not have known is that Jeff along with Rome Stein, served as our team alternates for the weekend. I am confident that either of the two could have participated in the workouts and put us on the podium by the end of the weekend. Personally, it was a very tough decision, because all of the team athletes were very deserving. Jeff and Rome could not have made the process any easier for me. Both were with the team every single step of the way that weekend and their support never wavered. It takes a big person to fill those alternate roles, and and even bigger person to do the job that both Jeff and Rome did at Regionals. I speak for the team when I say Jeff and Rome were absolutely amazing.
I'm sad that Jeff won't be able to make the trip with us to the Games in July. He will be on deployment in a few weeks. He will be in our thoughts for a safe trip and safe return. Happy birthday, buddy! We love you!
