We sit down with Kristi and Patrick O'Connell and reminisce about everything that has happened this year. We start by talking about the explosion of their YouTube Channel, because of how honest they are with their followers, and all the tricks and tips to stay fit during COVID. We talk about the Rogue Invitational, Phase 1 of the CrossFit Games, The HOA Team Competition, then being invited to test the Games weekend by Dave Castro and finally competing in a Spartan Race. We also talk about the training partners that they now work with occasionally and deep rooted friendships they have formed in the sport and continue to grow them. This was the perfect interview for our 1 year anniversary as Krisit and Patrick are true friends of the show and gave us a shot by coming on early on with us when nobody knew who we were.
