We are proud to share our April Athlete of the Month;
Belinda Escanio
About Belinda:
Hobbies: I work with an organization called Hands on Global which provides medical care to a refugee community of buddhists in the Himalayas. In June, our international team travels to the remote village of Zanskar which takes 2 days by jeep on unpaved roads off a mountain edge to serve at the Dalai Lama Clinic. More Fun Facts:
Power of self-mastery.
Tres Leches or Tiramisu cake at Whole Foods
Started CF 1 year ago after moving here from Washington state and chose CF OP because of its proximity and heard there was a good community of folks here.
Last year I took Kayla to see the dinosaur exhibit at the Hampton Coliseum and bumped into the GRIT festival thinking how intense those folks were. I had never imagined doing it. Ironic how I ended up joining a strong team with Kayla, Patricia, Nicole and being a part of GRIT this year!
The biggest challenge of CF is just showing up to burn off the crazy after a 10 hour workday.
Burpees and box jumps are fun because handstand walks and muscle ups are not in my “scope of practice.”
How did I end up doing CF OPEN this year and surviving it . . . I don’t know.
“Do not let fear determine your fate!”
More from Belinda:
Props to Dianne and Jim for providing the space for community, for the awesome coaches that constantly guide us to improve our form and develop our skills, and the CF fam that encourage and push us beyond what our mind says we are capable of doing.
