Rogue

The Rogue Invitational CrossFit event is coming up at the end of October. I (Jen) was lucky enough to attend the inaugural event in 2019 at Rogue. I have to tell you, it took me right back to the days of the CrossFit Games in Carson. It was an extremely well done event, but to be honest my favourite part was the fact that so many of my favourite CrossFit athletes we’re back on the competition floor in the legends division.

Watching the legends compete is something truly special. These athletes are the ones who paved the way for the Sport of Fitness, before there was a big prize purse or big sponsorship deals involved. Athletes like Chris Spealler, Matt Chan, Jason Khalipa, Dan Bailey, Kris Clever, Becca Voigt, Josh Bridges, Julie Foucher, Annie Sakamoto, Margaux Alavarez, Mikko Salo, and of course Rich Froning (and more)! Who will take to the floor in the legends division.

During the inaugural event Rich was competing on a team, however he made a surprise appearance in the Legends workout Amanda, came out in his classic black Rogue headband and the crowd went nuts. His wife Hilary was sitting a few seats over from us, and I don’t think she had any idea from her reaction that he would be sending it back with the old school with the headband either. He had some fun with Dan Bailey (photo above and watch the video below at the 2:47 min mark) and showed everyone why he the goat!

Watch the video above to the speech Matt Chan gives as well at the 6:18 min mark. Followed by Chris Spealler and Dan Bailey. I was there, and rewatching this speech gives me goose bumps again. These guys and girls paved the way, they got us excited about watching people workout, they showed us that even in competition you can still cheer on and support each other. These athletes are a huge part of why the Sport of Fitness grew to where it is today.

If you want to see some truly epic CrossFit, tune in to the Rogue Invitational at the end of this month, October 29th - 31st. Every division will be exciting, these are many of the top CrossFit athletes in the world. However the legends event holds a special place.
