As most of you would be aware the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games were held over the weekend in Carson, California and the fittest have been crowned, Rich Froning Jnr and Annie Thorisdottir. The games were awesome to watch, tonnes of variety in the events this year, really abided by CrossFit's mantra of being prepared for the unknown.. ocean swim, sand runs, monkey bars, handstand walking, spin bikes, prowler pushes and even softball throws. Many questioned the inclusion of a softball throw but it just goes to show we should listen to Glassman when he says, "regularly learn and play new sports." You may have also noticed the inclusion of sled drags, prowler pushes and farmers carry, has CrossFit HQ been reading our training logs??
New England CrossFit took out the teams event, but actually only one won event - the one which counted! Just a reminder that you don't need to excel in any one area of CrossFit but just be consistent across all domains! The final teams event was a showcase of the benchmarks; Elizabeth, Fran, Isabel, Grace, Diane, and Karen - great to watch!
The games were truly inspirational, and I know a lot of you will be motivated to start training for 2012. See you at the Box.
