So today Kelsi, John Naden, John Savage and I just got back from the
Oregon Crossfit games. John N and Kelsi both took part, and it was a
great event. Next year we will have to get a lot more people to come,
it was a blast! Here's some highlights.
The first workout:
500m row
400m run
100 yard waiters walk with kettlebells
Run 1200m
100m Clean and throw (135lb men, 95 women)
400m Run
100m Burpee + Long jump
800m Run.

Here's the waiters walk - john is losing his lockout here. Both our athletes thought this was the toughest part of the first event.

Here's Kelsi on the clean and throw.

Results after the first event:
John - 13th - didn't quite make it into the second event
Kelsi - 8th - moved on to the second event
The second event ended up being heavy Grace (30 reps clean and jerk (165 men/105 women). - This was 5 pounds under Kelsi's bodyweight and more than her max. It was surely one of the hardest things she has ever done but she did great! She did not Give up.

Now I'd like to post 4 things that TRULY inspired me from the games. Big time.
1. This gal came and completed the first event, everyone going crazy at the finish line. She finished with a resolve that she can do Crossfit. It is truly a testament that Crossfit and these events are not just reserved for firebreathers. If you are reading this and think you cannot do crossfit, you can!
2. Kelsi's judge (Melissa from Crossfit Breakthrough) during the last event did amazing. I wish I could post all the pictures of the passion that she has while coaching. Inspiring.
3. Kelsi getting up the weight after trying over and over and over again, She has such resolve to keep trying and do more. Wow!
4. Towards the couple minutes of the Mens event, there was still one person who wasn't completed with all 30 reps. Shivers went down my spine as everyone gathered in close and cheered him thru the last 5 reps. Words cannot describe the moment when he jerked the last rep, but here's a picture.
