CrossFit Games - Day 3

Today was no let down compared to the last few days. I would have loved to see Guido throw it down one more day, but he'll be back next year. The WODs today were killer & the athletes competed hard to the very end!

It started off with the women and men doing the Double Banger WOD. It was a brutal combo of double unders & mallets being swung into moveable blocks. It's all about functional fitness!

I broke for lunch after that. Yup I headed straight for the paleo wagon. The line was long but well worth the wait. I had two grass fed beef patties, grilled onions, 1/2 a cucumber, and an avocado and lettuce wraps. Washed it down with some coconut water.

After that it was back to the stadium to watch the final WODs of the day. A fun little trio of girl bench mark WODs. Starting w/ Elizabeth a 21-15-9 combo of power cleans & ring dips. Followed by Isabel 30 snatches for time. Last but not least Fran. A brutal combo of thrusters & pull-ups in sets of 21-15-9. This was unbelievable to watch the fittest athletes in the world do in amazingly fast times!

I even got to meet Jessa one of the Games athletes from the NE Region and take my picture with her. She finished 20th.

This was a great weekend of crossfit and one that I'll never forget. I hope to be back next year! I highly recommend for anyone who crossfit to come out and experience this in person!
