WOD 8/1 - 8/6: Crossfit Games Begin!
Remember when we did the CrossFit Open workouts way back in March? That was actually the start of the CrossFit competitive season. And after the Open, Quarterfinals, and Semifinals, this week it all culminates in the CrossFit Games. The massive event runs Wednesday-Sunday and will crown a male and female winner, as well as champs in the team, teens, adaptive, and masters categories.
So if you want to watch some amazing athletes this week, check out games.crossfit.com where all the events will be live-streamed. (And keep an eye out for our own superfan, Jen Clarke, who will be sitting 4 rows back from the finish, sporting her Fog City gear!)
CrossFit put together this promo video that talks about the difference between the Games and what we do in our gym everyday. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5bi2OmGqSw
As a huge sports fan, I love watching the competition, which gets pretty fierce as the weekend goes along. And as someone who does CrossFit for my health and sanity, I find it motivating to see what the athletes can accomplish and get some extra special inspiration from the Masters, which go all the way up to the 65+ category! There’s a lot to see, so check it out this week!
