Flashback Friday: 10 Years of Regionals
It’s so weird not to be headed down to the CrossFit Games Regionals this weekend, just as we had every Memorial Day weekend for the last decade — usually with a very spirited (AKA impressively loud) group of 3 or 4 dozen screaming AR fans in tow.
In the 10 years of regional competition Arena Ready had at least one athlete and/or coach competing for 9 of those years — the only exception being 2018 when most of our longtime competitors were doing things like having babies, completing their medical residency, or moving across the country. And since the Regional is now a thing of the Games Season’s past we’ll never again be able to experience the amazing 3 days of some of the most intense and inspiring performances on the big stage.
Here’s a salute to the past via four of our most decorated competitors.
