Happy Dan Finck Day

Dan Finck Day

Today is Dan Finck Day... At least in Halifax, Nova Scotia! I will also be celebrating today here in Colorado, since it is my day. Anyone care to join me? At least you'll have a reason to down a few beers. 

Week 1/Day 1 of training for the 2013 CrossFit Games Season starts tomorrow. See you there!
