Bye Bye Bubs

Trying to describe Lauren Higgins in a post was difficult. Trying to describe Mariah Fielder (aka Bubs, aka Ducky) in a post is impossible. So I'm not going to try. Instead, you can make your own judgements from this timeline of Mariah's tenure with the Champions Club.

The Fieldhouse days


The New Old Weight Room


The box(ish)


Foam fest - pre Summer 2013


While these are many of the funny moments, that should not take away from the fact that Bubs became a CrossFit beast over the course of the last four years. She has just enough stamina to keep up with Murley on long workouts, just enough speed to run on a Regional 4x4 relay team, just enough flexibility to be a stud overhead squatter, and more than enough strength to do these kinds of things on max effort days...

...while still adding her signature touchdown dance in celebration.

There is literally no replacing Mariah Fielder. No need to try; can't happen. The best we can hope for is that Chris Binno picked a shed strand of her hair from the gym and genetically replicated it using a combination of modular arithmetic, biological engineering, and back levers. But until then, hopefully she comes by to visit whenever she's back so the gym can be bubbly again.

Awwwwww ducky :') I remember when we first joined and our first summer in the Fieldhouse, you're the sweetest and funniest and most adorable little duck that I know! I'm so glad I've spent the last three summers in the advanced session with you and sometimes other people, we've had a lot of fun and gotten fit-fat instead of just fat (; have fun at school, we're going to miss your beautiful smile at the gym but you're going to do so great out in the big world!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU!!!
And my dad will miss you too!
