We got a letter from one of our current Police Officer family members. We thought we should share it with you guys, this exemplifies how dedicated and most importantly how important is the job police officers is. We are glad we are helping in helping our heroes stay in shape so they can do their job, proctecting the rest of us, better. See his letter below!!
I don’t know if you recall but during the running portion yesterday’s WOD I cried out that there were not going to be any foot pursuits tonight. Guess what? I got in a foot pursuit. Earlier in the evening we got a BOL (Be on the lookout) for a suicidal subject that was going to use any means to fulfill his objective. As we, my partner, and I were cruising around we see that a couple Redwood City PD units are out with a distraught subject. I contact the Officer and he relates that this is the suicidal subject that everyone was alerted about. I’m standing about 100 feet away from everybody. The next thing you know, the guy, in his late teens, takes off. He has about 200 feet head start. The RWC PD officer takes off. I’m right behind. Take into consideration the 30 extra lbs. of crap that we carry. I leave the RWC PD officer in the dust. As we turn the corner I’m gaining big time on this guy. The whole time I’m telling myself that I’m in better shape than this guy and I’m going to catch him. As I’m about to pounce on this guy The RWC PD officer screams at the subject to stop or he going to get “tazed”. The subject comes to his senses and stops running and we get him into custody, end of story. My, partner, 13 years my junior in age, was totally impressed. He said “damn partner, you were on him like a wildcat. You smoked that RWC PD officer”. Do you know how good that makes a 47 year old officer feel? After the chase I said to myself ” that wasn’t even a 800 meter run, there’s no way that S.O.B was getting away from me.”
Moral of the story: Honestly, I was winded after the short chase, but gassed I wasn’t. I give all that credit to you guys. I have noticed a transformation in me since I began attending SC Crossfit. Every time I go I get my ass kicked. I feel great! I look better in my uniform, and my confidence level is super high. Even my peers at the office have noticed. Two years ago I would not have caught him or probably attempted to catch him. I just want to thank you guys for all the hard work, support, and effort you put into the workouts and the wonderful environment you have created there. You guys have definitely made an impact on my life. YOU ROCK!!! .
A MILLION THANKS,
Ruben Herrera
