Eva Mireles, 44, died on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, while shielding her fourth-grade students from a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Mireles’ co-teacher, Irma Garcia, and 19 students were also killed in the shooting.
Mireles was in her 17th year of teaching in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and held certifications in special education and bilingual education.
In addition to regularly running before school, she also enjoyed hiking, and friends and relatives recall she could be found in her CrossFit gym almost every day after school. Earlier that year, she participated in the CrossFit Open for the ninth time.
EDCF family, please join us on Saturday, December 7th for our charity event benefitting The Magdalen House, a nonprofit organization helping individuals with alcoholism achieve sobriety and sustain recovery from alcoholism.
We will be challenging our members and friends to complete as many meters as possible during a 12 hour window. All of our machines (rowers, bikes and ski erg) are available during this time to jump in and help the cause.
Go for the distance alone or as a team! Any friends or family can join you for this event.
There are several ways to contribute to the total distance rowed:
Full marathon (42,195m or 26.3 miles)
10K, 5K, 2K presets built into the machines
Or commit to a set amount of time to see how much you can complete!
Still sound like a long way? Think about it like this… with a team of 5, you would only need to row a little over 8000m each. Split it up into 1000m turns (approximately 4-6 minutes) and then rest while your teammates do their part before you jump back in. So you row for 5 minutes, rest for 20+ minutes, and repeat- anyone can do that!
We will have a Commitment Board posted in the gym where you and/or your team can choose your distances/times. Our machines will be first come, first serve, so feel free to drop in any time and get to work!
