Recap of the LIVE 13.3 Broadcast

Wednesday evening will definitely go down in Roots history as one of the coolest nights ever. Sure it was special, magical, and jaw dropping, but really the word “cool” seems to sum it up the best.

Walking into the shop yesterday morning and picturing the extensive set-up of bleachers, barriers, and camera equipment that was set-up across the shop floor, it was almost as if the energy and vibe of the evening had not left the building.

For me, the most special part of the evening was looking into the crowd and seeing the faces of Roots athletes watching the event with their Roots friends and spouses and families. It was as if time went by in slow motion. I am so incredibly happy that so many of you took the time to come out and experience the CrossFit community on this larger scale.

This event was made possible by the wonderful crew of CrossFit Media that flew out for the event. Thank you for taking the time to work with us and for your respect and awareness of our shop and facility.

The event would have been entirely chaotic was it not for the stellar crew of volunteers that helped out on Tuesday and Wednesday. A big thank you to:

Team Parking – Robert, Drew, Peter, Moishe, Bones and Chris who ran the parking operation outside. The parking situation was great and we owe it to you!

Team Apparel – Cami, Whitney, Karen, Emily, and Lynn – the smiling crew behind the front desk that helped all of our visitors with Roots gear and apparel. You guys ran a top notch operation! And thank you to Cami and Whitney for heading up the operation and receiving and organizing the new tees.

Team Floor – Bryce, Sandy, Hammer, Dan B, and Allaina – not only was the event cool, it was clean and we owe a huge thank you to this crew who manned the floor making sure trash cans were emptied and the place looked tidy

Team Reps – Blaine, Miles, Odie, and Walker – who counted reps via the video production corner to relay to the announcers so they could accurately call the event for viewers all over the world.

Greeters – Hannah and Dre for manning the door and VIP area and making everyone who showed up feel welcome.

Team DJ Double Under – Sampo – entrance music, show music, after party music, DJ Double Under came out for the show and rocked the house. Thanks to Dizon and Taylor for helping set up the after party.

Team Seating – Tracy E and Cal – these women reserved seats for the volunteers and made sure the area behind the broadcast was packed!

Team Equipment – Dizon, Hillary, Bryce, Chris Rice, Hammer, and Abby – who managed the equipment removal from the competition floor after the workout was announced.
