CrossFit Sectionals

Hello everyone. I wanted to let everyone know about the CrossFit Sectionals competition this weekend. Athletes from Arkansas, Oklahoma and North Texas will be coming to Tulsa to win one of 30 spots open for the regional qualifier, with hopes of ultimately getting to the CrossFit Games in July in Aromas, CA. The winner of the CrossFit games is determined to be the fittest Man and Woman on the planet...which I would have to agree with!

The games will take place Saturday and Sunday at CrossFit Eclipse - on 61st Street and 118th (118th is etween Garnett and 129th on 61st). Turn North and 118th and the 3rd large warehouse on your right is the host site.

I will be a judge for the competition and encourage all of you to come out and watch these amazing athletes put their bodies to the ultimate test.

On a side note, as I went through one of these workouts last Friday, I had the pleasure of having Congressman John Sullivan tell me that I had the best 'Clean' form he has seen. Always a nice compliment and even better from a person such as he.

Weekend experience

Hey everyone...here was my Saturday Workout
400 m swim
8 mile stationary bike ride
2 mile run

50:20 was my time

I beat all of my times that I wanted to and finished without being exhausted. When I competed in these 5 years ago while training sport specific...i.e. swimming, running and biking, I was slower and more tired at the end. Now with only Crossfit Training I was faster, needed almost no recovery time and was able to play 8 games of sand volleyball the next day.

Lastly, I finished 13 out of 33...so the top 1/3rd/.

CrossFit works!
