CPC History.

The first photo taken of what was to become CPC!!

Here’s a little piece of CPC history for all you that follow our blog and for those of you that we are fortunate enough to have as members at this early junction.  Today is the 1-year anniversary of sorts of the inception of this grand adventure and also a bit of a lesson on the power of intention.  On Sept. 21^st, 2008 Eric and I had the following conversation via text. 

Me, “Hey man, just throwing this out there, what do you think about moving down to Santa Barbara next year and opening up a CF?”
Eric, “I’m heading out to dinner with (a mutual friend of ours), let’s talk about this after the weekend.” 
About two hours went by in which he must have thought more about it and I got the following message back.  “Hey, were u (expletive) serious?!!”

And that’s how it all began, one year ago today.  At the time I was still a fulltime grad student in L.A. with a semester to finish, finals to take, board exams to pass, a house to pack, and a life to move.  Eric was still living in San Francisco with a fulltime job and 10 years of history to leave behind.  All that existed of CPC was an idea passed casually over a text message.  We didn’t have 209 Anacapa, we didn’t have a name, didn’t have a Miguel and Su, didn’t have a Claw or a Baker or a Kjersti.  River wasn’t even born yet!  All we had was an idea and the unwavering support of the CrossFit community.  That’s where we were one year ago; I can only imagine where we’ll be a year from now.  As Goethe said long ago, “Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”  Happy Anniversary.
