It’s Party Season at CrossFit Invictus
Written by C.J. Martin

As some of you know, CrossFit Invictus is losing some of its most beloved individuals who have been called to public service outside of San Diego. Our very own Coach Nick Hawkes is off to fight wildfires in Utah for a few months. While we know he’ll be back, his energy around the gym will be sorely missed. Nick’s commitment to school, coaching 8th graders, coaching at CrossFit Invictus, and Navy service has made it tough to pin him down for a going away party, but it wouldn’t be right to allow him to slip out for a few months without at least sharing a meal together. A few of the members of the Invictus family will be heading to Rei Do Gado on 4th Street at 7:45 p.m. tonight. Please come send him off in style.

In addition to Nick’s departure, we will be losing Chris and Jill Freischlag and Ron Hess at the end of the month. Chris is heading to Sacramento for six months of training with the California Highway Patrol, and Ron will be deploying to serve our country overseas. The thought of their departure is heartbreaking, so to combat depression we are going to throw a massive party at CrossFit Invictus on Saturday, May 23 at 6:00 p.m. We will supply delicious meats, fruits and veggies and you all will be responsible for bringing a beverage of your choice. Please RSVP to cj@crossfitinvictus.com so we know how much food to prepare.
