Today is Sean’s birthday. Yes, believe it or not, he was actually born and not shipped to Earth from his native planet Krypton. Although it would explain a number of things. Leap tall buildings in a single bound? (Have you seen the guy’s box jumps?) And who among us couldn’t picture this being in Sean’s childhood photo album:

Sean's 1st C&J was a freakin' truck!

While Sean may make the rest of us look like mere mortals, his ego hasn’t gone along for the ride. He’s easily the most gentle of the trainers (hence why there’s no “Fire Sean” shirts in the works), and he also truly enjoys seeing other people achieve their goals. It doesn’t matter if that goal is a 95 or a 380 lb deadlift, he’ll be cheering on the athletes at Intrepid just the same. In his spare time he enjoys playing the part of a superhero, as well as trying his hands at new pursuits. Ruth recently introduced him to climbing and as you can imagine, he’s showing an amazing aptitude for it just like everything else. While it’s easy to hate on the guy because he’s so sickeningly talented, he’s so nice you feel guilty for doing so! Just beware playing the “Punchbuggy” game with him, as he shows no mercy in that pastime (as Ruth can attest to). From everyone at Intrepid, happy birthday Sean and have a great weekend!

The boogie man wakes up in the middle of the night and looks for Chuck Norris.

Some athletes get intimitdated by heavy weight at Crossfit Intrepid heavy weight is intimidated by Sean.

Thanks for the support and encouragement – Have a great birthday Sean.

12-7, 7 hrs. Would of been less but work’s been busy and I fought hard to fight off the Laker adrenaline.

Dang it jake 3hrs? That’s worse than staying up to breastfeed the puppy!

Way to go Scott for getting some sleep! Nap: 1430-1530: .5 net: 20.

I think your Chuck Norris comments pissed off the gods cuz our sportfishing expedition was a mix between the adventures of the SS Minnow(except it was a 5 hr tour), Deadliest Catch, and the Perfect Storm!! But the fresh fish afterwards was delectable!!

Thank you Marcus for the awesome post, your knowledge and insight as a fellow coach, and your support as a friend.

To my Intrepid family, I truly appreciate the kind words and birthday wishes. Working with you all inspires me each and every day. You’ll be happy to know that this “superhero” has a mortal stomach that got the best of me this morning on the fishing boat :-/

A special thanks to Ruth, the love of my life, for the fantastic getaway this weekend. More fun in store as we have 2 more days to enjoy.

See everyone on Monday!

Oh, and I had the same sleep times as Ruth today. But after my massive birthday ice cream bowl I’m sure to sleep well tonight.
