A Highlight Reel
Enjoy this highlight reel that CrossFit HQ put together from the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games this past weekend!Talk about motivation! These phenomenal humans are proving their fitness and making it exciting!
Crossfit Games:
This was my (Jen) 5th trip to the CrossFit Games, and while it wasn't under the Cali sun this summer, and the weather on Thursday gave me flashbacks of BeachWOD 2016. It was a great weekend. The final two events of the 2017 Games were intense. A complete roller coaster of emotions. From watching Stacie Tovar (an athlete with whom I have great respect for) take of her shoes after her final event, while she was in complete tears, kiss them and walk them to the finish mat, set them down, and walk away to a stadium giving her a standing O. A symbol that she is "hanging up her competition shoes". ( I was trying my best to not 'ugly' cry!!)To then switching gears and watching the battle between Kara Webb and Tia Clare Toomey to take home the title. It was INTENSE! Going into the final event just 6 points separated the two women and when it came right down to it, 2 points gave Tia the title over Kara! 2 points……It was also a pretty special moment to watch Stouty take to the floor with a group of adaptive athletes to show the CF community just what they can do with a barbell and 4 mins on the clock! ((This would be a whole blog post on it's own. Maybe next week….)
Canada Dominates
Amazing to see so many Canadian's do so well, including Driven (In Orillia's) Kelly Graham who has competed in the Masters division (I believe 3 times now, but could be 4.) Not only is Kelly one of our AMAZING UG BeachWOD, WOD Leaders, she is also the author of Hope RX'd a book we have on the bookshelf in our gym! She has an AMAZING story!Stephanie Roy out of Montreal placed 1st, in an incredible division of women 35-39 that also included our friend Becca Voigt (the only athlete, female or male, to ever compete at the games 10x).Megan Trupp out of CF Colosseum in Toronto placed 4th overall in the 16-17 division, and these are just naming a few….Not to forget, Canada's 2 Individual Men, Brent Fikowski who was 2nd and Patrick Vellner who was 4th... Plus all 3 Individual Canadian Women were in the top 20!It was a great weekend. Dave Castro and his team truly do put on a great show. Along with all their staff and volunteers, some of whom were our own CFI Coaches and Members! The biggest take away from the games for me, is and always will be how special the CrossFit Community truly is! More on that very soon….. For now, enjoy the highlight reel! https://youtu.be/VBNAxPykDK0
