Some victories are measured by the finish line. Others are measured by the courage it takes just to stand at the start. ❤️
Today, we want to recognize one of our incredible coaches, Alicia,for accomplishing something truly inspiring.
Less than a year after giving birth to her second daughter, she set a goal that seemed almost impossible. With sleepless nights, a newborn in her arms, learning to ride a road bike only weeks before race day, overcoming a crash and a shoulder injury… she never gave up.
She chose to believe in herself.
She chose to keep showing up.
She chose to lead by example.
As coaches, we often remind others that growth happens outside our comfort zone. This time, Lee lived every word she teaches.
What makes this achievement even more special isn’t just that she completed a duathlon—it’s the message she leaves for every person watching:
✨ Your circumstances do not define your potential.
✨ Your children are always watching.
✨ Your goals matter.
✨ You are capable of doing hard things.
At CrossFit de la Cité, we’re incredibly proud to have coaches who don’t just tell our members what’s possible—they show them.
Thank you, Alicia,for reminding our entire community that strength isn’t only found in the gym. It’s found in resilience, consistency, courage, and the willingness to chase your dreams, no matter what season of life you’re in.
You are fierce.
You are inspiring.
And your CFDLC family couldn’t be prouder. ❤️
👏 Congratulations, Coach Alicia. Your daughters already have the best role model they could ask for.
