CrossFit Games are about to begin —


I’m excited because the CrossFit Games are starting this weekend and the CF world is all abuzz. The first individual WOD was announced yesterday — and it is totally in line with what I said yesterday about being ready for anything. The athletes have to do a 210m Ocean Swim to start it off. Now I am going to take a guess and say that many of the athletes competing today are not used to swimming in the open water.  But — you have to be ready for anything and that sure is ‘anything’. They also have to do a soft sand run — this sure sounds ‘fun’.

 

Today’s workout was a lesson in time management — a lesson that we needed to put some to use. I didn’t get to finish my entire strength WOD today because I had to leave before I finished –which I hate to do. But to be honest, I should have taken a today as a rest day but I made a commitment to meet some of my pals there and I didn’t want to let them down. That is also a great reason to workout with a group of people –you know they are expecting you and you don’t want to hear crap from them.  And CrossFitters can dish out some crap!!
