Compare yourself to the fittest

So the Crossfit Games site just put out a post on the results of the Games and an explanation of how they worked. It was interesting to see how it all added up. Fo those of you who are interested, you can see how they were scored, and, if you so choose to do these WODs, you can see how you stack up vs the fittest men/women on earth.

Some firsts

My first post! How exciting.

I” am now back from Carson with an okay tan but a sweet drive thanks to all the unreal performances at the 2010 Crossfit Games. This was my first time visiting/appearing at the Games, and I must say, it was a great experience. The atmosphere was amazing. People who had no clue who you were were just cheering you on while performing at any given event. For one of the affiliate events, I had a guy within 5 ft of me yelling at me to lift, and I had no idea who he was. It was just awesome.

I have to say Chris Spealler is my hero. His muscle-up/snatch workout was just amazing. Seeing some guy do 135lb snatches while weighing 140lbs is just… well a rare sight. However, as rare as it might be, it’s set my mind in to driven mode as I would love to be able to be one of those guys.

Goals will now be set for the long term. What those may be, I’m not sure of yet. But, I do know one thing. I would like to see myself at the Games again next year, ideally as an individual, but I’m not sure I’d be in that calibre by next year. I would like to go only if I had the potential to perform well. Regardless, 2011 Games training… here I come.
