Dear Roots Crew, 

Thanks to everyone for contributing to a stellar October! The PRs from Benchmark Week were impressive, and the improvements made over a year were fun to track and hear about. Benchmark Week is an integral part of what we do because it gives you a framework to assess, track your progress, and remind yourself of your efforts over a year. Congrats to everyone who turned in a PR during Benchmark Week!

Looking to November and colder weather, I am excited to say that the Winter Holiday Pre-Order is BACK! Check out the full line of gear, from hoodies to zip-ups, sweatpants, and more! Place your order by November 15th!

Several events are coming up in November, including Chad 1000x on Veteran’s Day. Please take a moment to learn about this event. We plan to make it an outdoor event this year, so plan accordingly, and we’ll see you on November 11th!

Bring the hype, 

Nicole
