I'VE HAD A SECRET TRAINING PARTNER

[@Love-ql7rd]

This was beautiful! I had tears watching it. You came from good stock. Don't ever forget that and don't ever change. Enjoy EVERY ride with your mom. You are making memories. Nice videography too. This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Wish I had someone like your mom to train with. We are close in age and it is difficult to find people our age as active as we both are. Good luck at the Games! Always rooting for you.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you!! I have a great support system around me ❤️

[@miriamramos1831]

I agree! Im also in her age bracket and wish I had someone with her mom's experience to help train me.

[@Amir06853]

I love cycling too! It really brings me to another level just as CF does! I love this video , thank you for sharing.

[@briandavid1355]

Thank you for sharing. It means the world to me. I am an avid cyclist and I understand the flow state. Bless you and your mom.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

I appreciate that Thank you so much! 😁

[@getyourfitonproductions]

What a great memory and time with your mom. I did not have a good relationship with my mom and it warms my heart to see that in others and drives me to want to be a better parent.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We have def made some great memories! and that means a lot ❤️✌️

[@RasaboxGames]

What a wonderful, inspiring video. Every Sunday morning, my brother and I ride. It is the best part of my week.

[@nickysimpson7441]

Great video, I wish our UK roads were as quiet as yours, I love the long hauls on the bike, it’s my happy place away from the gym, so good for your mental well-being.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you!! and I hope you get some smooth roads to ride on!! ❤️✌️

[@lillithsternin7428]

Best crossfit channel handsdown. Watching this gives me goodfeels...motivation...encouragement...I get to see you as an athlete...your family....your dog💗💗💗 Everything!!! All the best this yr.

I appreciate that! thank you so much❤️

[@kimberlysadberry6757]

you're so lucky to have a family member that cares about fitness the way you do, to share that together ❤ 💪

[@SJane3]

I started crying as soon as you said it's your mom that you have been training with! What an absolute gem of a team you have around you!! Im so happy for you!! Dont know if you meant to make this a video that invokes the tears to flow, but wow!! Great video!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Moms are great ❤️I really appreciate that, and I do have a great team around me.thank you!!

[@SJane3]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell does your mom happen to adopt? Hahaha.. jk! Keep crushing it, Kristi!!

Kristi! I got 🥹 watching this. I have 2 grown daughters and our time together are those precious moments in life.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

that is awesome!! get outside and sped time with them when you can!

[@emilypuder829]

I shouldn't be crying...but here I am. LOVE this!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

🤗🤗 Thanks for watching!!

[@heflinms]

And this is why people love you so much. Because CrossFit, and more importantly the community, are about so much more than just “sport.” You’re a true role model, and it sounds like your mom is as well…

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

She def is!! and thank you it means a lot! ❤️

[@erikhendricks7909]

Always inspirational. I was VERY emotional watching this story. This story made me think of my mom. Your mom is an AMAZING AWESOME training partner to have. Can't wait to see you perform VERY well in Madison in a little over 3 weeks time.

[@MsJCHAI]

Kristi, this brighten up my morning. Love the relationship that u have with your mom. Your narrative gave me chills. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love from Vancouver. 🇨🇦 💕 can’t wait to watch you at the games.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Moms are great❤️ and we appreciate the support!

[@rnbham39]

This was so awesome. Excellent footage and video. Such a gift for you and your Mom to get to ride together. Thank you for always keepin it real and sharing your journey with us. #lovecycling #inspirational

Thank you so much!! 😁✌️

[@mindymoore4941]

I love this so much! As a Mom myself I can only hope to be able to enjoy times like this with my kids as they grow up. Thank you for allowing us into your lives. You are an amazing spirit and I cannot wait to see you kill it in 3 more weeks!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

that means a-lot! thank you ❤️✌️

[@germanaguirre4413]

That’s awesome Kristi. This is why I train, to be able to do whatever athletic endeavors my kids choose right alongside of them. Shout out to Pat.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

absolutely!! and thank you I will pass that along!! 😁✌️

[@jackharrington697]

Kristi I cried while watching your killing it girl. Don't ever change you inspire me and other people so much! keep these great videos coming girl love you 💙💙

This is by far one of my favorite videos from you guys. I cried. What a very special time you shared with us. These memories are priceless. Thank you!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thank you so much! We didn't mean to make anyone cry!! ❤️

[@itsdixi_not_dixie]

Crying in the best way…remembering! It’s a gift to have this relationship with your mom. I love it!

[@sharonevans6319]

I’m your mom’s age and come from a road cycling background. You’ve inspired me to get out of the gym and back on my bike. Loved this. Best of luck to you at the games.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you very much! and get outside and enjoy for fitness!

[@piperfreed9285]

This is heartwarming! Moms are the best!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

totally agree!❤️✌️

[@vanessasonntag9621]

Both you and Donna are amazing! And cycling is such a wonderful sport. One of my best memories is crossing the Pyrenees from the Mediterranean See to the Atlantic. I love seeing you enjoy outdoor activities, be it cycling or hiking. Keep going and best of luck for the upcoming Games!

[@keyasaurus]

Loved this video so much! I come from cycling from the other side - I'm a triathlete who uses some crossfit movements to improve my strength and stability. I think it shows that being a well-rounded athlete is the way to go. Strength and endurance are both so important. Also, your mom rocks!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

That is awesome!! and having strong legs def makes for a stronger rider!

[@davidgutierrez4059]

How wonderful to ride with your mother. You guys are awesome. Can’t wait to see at the games.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thank you 🤗

[@MAS-xp8mn]

"... get outside of the gym, and put your fitness to use and try something new" great line, great video. Best of luck in Madison!!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thanks so much!! ❤️✌️

[@harca6]

Love your videos! Awesome that you and your mom cycle together! I'll be rooting for you at the 2022 games! Keep grinding and inspiring! God bless you and cheers from Socal USA!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you very much!! ✌️

[@phoenixrises5545]

I loved everything about this video. As a athlete, we sometimes forget the things we do off the court/field are just as important as things on the court/field. They make us a more well-rounded person and athlete. You do this effortlessly. If there was anyone I could train with, it would be with you! I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming Games - you are my favorite, and I'll be rooting for you!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

that means a lot!! and we truly appreciate the support! thank you!!❤️✌️

[@amen_ra6926]

Nice piece. All that open scenery was trippy. We don't have that out here. Man that bike had to cost a grip. Mine was stolen a long time ago and I never replaced it. The streets out here in SoCal are way to busy all the time and I don't trust the drivers to look out. So I never got another one. Plus it's a pretty steep investment.

[@cmarnold78]

What an awesome Mum! Such an important message for Crossfitters. Don't forget to get outside and use your fitness!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Absolutely!!❤️✌️

[@arthurtaku]

Loved this video. Love them all. But loved this one especially. Keep it real. Supporting you all the way from Australia.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you very much!! we appreciate the support! ❤️✌️

[@tatianahemrich6789]

Really enjoyed watching you and your mom together. Incredible for you to share and create so many memories that yes, are part “training”, but also just quality family time. Can’t say enough how much I admire you, look up to you, and look forward to EACH AND EVERY video. Know that you have an army of supporters sending positive vibes and much love for Madison, but also, just for your daily grind getting the work done. You inspire all of us to work hard, stay humble, and to keep smiling 💖❤️💖

This was a near meditative state video. Enjoying, relaxing and educational. At times I could not tell who was whom. Always great to see Milo. Your Mom is awesome and inspiring. A 60 something having no problem keeping up with a 30 something or vice versa! Lol. Keep these awesome videos coming. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much!! we are almost there!❤️✌️

[@SevanStick]

I think and I also wrote that already that you are one of the best ‚movers‘ in crossfit. But on the bike I must say your mum moves even better. She looks like a true cyclist. Example: 4:20 uphill her shoulder stay steady while your torso rotates. She is more efficient there I think. She is amazing.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

hahahaha thank you!! and my mom will eat this up 🤣

[@jeanblock6239]

Your mom is so sweet! I loved meeting her when I was at your gym on April. I also loved meeting you! Can't wait to chat you on while watching the games!

[@deidreeast9340]

We live right off of one of the rails-to-trails bike paths in SW Ohio. I love riding my road bike, my trike recumbent, or rollerblading. I have been working on getting my 12 year old daughter to go on more rides with me. We began our shared riding journeys on 10-mile rides up to a half century ride, me pulling her in a trailer as a baby or in a Weehoo recumbent trail-behind. Now, her longest ride on her own road bike is 17.5 miles! I have tried to express to her how much I want to continue to share this activity with her, but I don't think she quite gets it. She swims, plays club soccer (I coach), and does the kids class (I help coach there, too) at the Crossfit-style strength and conditioning gym where we belong. But, cycling is something where we can participate together. I showed this video to her to help convey the connection that I am craving to have with her. I found it touching and was relieved that my daughter picked up on my reason for showing it. Thank you for sharing your moments with your mom with us. You and she inspire me to continue my fitness journey and to pass it along to my daughter. We are huge fans and hope to meet you (and your mom) at CFP someday when we are up in Columbus. Best of luck to you at the Games!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

that is awesome! and give her some time she will learn to appreciate it! and thank you! the support means alot!
