Some photos capture elite athletes at their peak. This is not one of those photos.
Somewhere between dinner and complete loss of dignity, Ben and Bayley decided to take things to the next level — food, ridiculous expressions, and enough chaos it was “like being at the zoo.”
What has remained constant is the friendship behind the madness. From Bayley training at our gym a few years ago, to coming to The Games and coaching our team in 2022, to the healthscare he had last year, the endless comps where they are always in the warm up area with a good dose of banter - this friendship has always been there.
Now here we are again, watching the two of them both earn their spots to the CrossFit Games. We couldn’t be prouder of the athletes they’ve become, but even more than that, the people they are and the friendships this journey has created. We can’t wait to watch them compete together on the biggest stage.fowlerr
