One of my coaches at the local CrossFit box I go to, was the only female to qualify for the Canada Regional East games in our tri-city area. We were pretty excited about it and a bunch of us drove to Mississauga yesterday to cheer her on in her two of seven WODS she had to complete in the three days of the games.
The first event I watched her, she completed 100 wallballs (14lbs), 100 chest to bar, 100 pistols (in the picture below), and 100 one-armed snatches with 50lbs. 
She’s an incredible strong, motivated athlete who I look up to at CrossFit. She was amazing yesterday. I got chills just watching her and my heart was just pumping for her! So strong and I loved every minute of being there.
I can tell just from this 2013 year alone that my love of CrossFit is right up there with climbing and I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it. Almost two and a half years in and I’m not ready to stop yet.
The two photos above were not taken by me. In fact I grabbed them off her (my coach) FB page. I did manage to take more than a fair share of pictures yesterday, so here they are!

Another heat of women doing the 4 sets of 100 (wallballs, chest to bar, pistols and snatches)

Who has been following the CrossFit Games? Are you cheering for anyone in particular?
