Tami, you rock. You got an agent?

Submitted by Tamara on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 08:09.

Thanks everyone, I am very excited to serve our wonderful crossfit community. Talking with Mike & Nicole, I learned that what makes a good trainer is not only job knowledge but excellent customer service. After doing extensive research I found a great example on how I wish to serve you in the future ;)

Is that the new CFO shirt she's sporting? I like the new Alligator logo. FIERCE! I'll take two of those in extra medium, please.

Tami - you are awesome.

Nicole - what kind of sprints are on the menu today?

Tamara, great to have you training at CFO

I need all the help I can get with my muscle-up! (note singular not plural)

Submitted by Papa Brad on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 09:25.

Wooo T! That's awesome! Any chance you're going to do 9am? I'm not sure about that skinny bald guy who's usually "coaching" then.

Submitted by Joe P on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 09:29.

FYI everyone, good article on post-workout nutrition on the CFEB website. I crashed much harder than usual after the recent Murph and 800 workouts, so I'm thinking I might try the chocolate milk thing.
