Hey Guys!!!
Sorry for leaving you hanging for so long. But summer came and took over my life. What can I say? I have been enjoying myself, but I’m back!!! And I have got big news too!
This weekend is the CrossFit Games!!! CrossFit is what originally inspired this blog, and this time the Games are even BIGGER!!!
In just a matter of a few years, the games have completely transformed as the CrossFit athletes become rockstars and the games go from being held on a farm in the middle of no where to being held at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA and sponsored by Reebok.
With the CrossFit Games just two days away, I thought I’d share some interesting facts about this year’s games
1. This is the first year the Games are sponsored (by Reebok).
2. This is the first year the athletes are treated like rockstars, with custom fitted apparel, meals and more.
3. This is the first year there is a CrossFit kids/teens competition.
4. The CrossFit Games are known for having throwing something crazy and unexpected into the WODs (most commonly referred to as the hopper WOD).
5. Just announced: ALL competitors must take a swim test.
6. On July 31, 2011, the fittest (wo)man on Earth will be determined!
