Brandon & Bobbi with the World’s Fittest Man, Mikko Salo, at the 2009 CrossFit Games
Did you follow the Games online? Did it matter to you who was in the lead and what the workouts were? If not, it should. Why? Because the CrossFit community is so much bigger than the walls of Carolina CrossFit! It’s important that you guys are a part of something bigger than yourself and your class at CCF. We have the awesome priviledge of being part of such an awesome community of athletes full of free information, coaching, and support.
If you didn’t make it to the Games this year, there’s always next year, and I highly recommend you make every effort to get out there. To see these unbelievable men and women lay it all out there and fight for each and every rep with everything they have is something that can never be understood by watching it online. Being there, you can see and feel the determination of each athlete.
With five events in one day, starting at 8:30 am and finally ending around 8:30 pm, day one was brutal. Cuts were made after the first two events, then after four events, and at the end of day one, 16 men and 16 women were left in contention. The next day, as judges, we watched broken bodies walk in for yet another day of tough workouts. Their bodies were wrecked, but their spirits were ready to go.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.” Proverbs 4:23
