Crossfit Games 2011 Day 2: Summer Catch Up

I think one of the main reasons I blog is to remember what we've done and where we've been.  Some days there is just so much on my mind and so much to complete, I can't remember what I had for breakfast let alone what we did last week or last month.  I hope, through blogging, our family will have some sort of history to look back on and then say, "Oh! Yeah, I remember..."

This past week I heard the 2011 Crossfit Games were aired on ESPN.  We don't currently have cable, so I'm clueless as to what is on television.  We were very fortunate to attend the Games, so I went back to look at the posts and photos I took back in July.  I realized there were some photos and events I forgot to share.

A number of vendors were present at The Games.  One person I hoped to meet and chat with was Mark Sisson.  He's a Primal guy.  What is Primal eating?  Check out Mark's blog at http://www.marksdailyapple.com/  I bought his book, Primal Blueprint, and am working my way through it.

Mark, it was great to meet you!

The next event I was able to attend was the Triplet Sprint.  The women of Crossfit continue to amaze me with their strength and determination.

The Killer Kage

 The Killer Kage workout was a team workout.  Here it is:

Every team will consist of 4 athletes, 2 men and 2 women.

Each team member completes for time:
20 Shoulder to overhead (135/95lbs)
20 Box jump (24"/20")
50 foot Kage traverse
50 Double-unders
Bike 500 meters
Then, 
Bike 500 meters
50 Double-unders
50 foot Kage traverse20 Box jump (24"/20")
20 Shoulder to overhead (135/95lbs)

All 4 members will work their way through the exercises at the same time, but must start one at a time and may not move on to the next exercises until the member ahead of them has finished it. The entire team must complete moving through the first series of exercises before the first member can begin working through the second series.

This looked insane!

Thankful my sweetheart's shared this experience with me.

What troopers hanging out all day at the Games!  And still smiling!
