It rained, it was hot, it was breezy but all in all it was perfect arena to watch those aspiring to be "the fittest people on the planet. Coach G kicked off the games and the athletes were off and running through the hills of Aromas. I wish everyone could be here with us to see all of the great performances. I know that we will all come back from Aromas with a new sense of what intensity is.
According to CrossFit.com, the results as of the end of day 1(referencing the last wod of the day; 3 rounds 30 wall balls, 30 snatches):
"At the end of the night, Jason Khalipa, Tommy Hackenbruck and Blair Morrison had the top times. The overall leader is Hackenbruck, followed by Moe Kelsey and Mikko Salo.
For the women it was Carey Kepler, Sarah Dunsmore and Rebecca Voigt who crushed the WOD, with Tanya Wagner, Annie Thorisdottir and Dunsmore making up the top three overall.
The top 16 competitors now advance to the final day of competition."
Our shirts are a hit! Many CrossFits have asked where they can buy them, taken our pictures and complimented us- remember they will be for sale Monday, first come, first serve!
Brian and I were able to grab a little time with the CrossFit Vallejo folks for a brief five minutes! They've been kind enough to let us use their tent will they have been working super long hours behind the scenes as Volunteers and Judges. They have really made helped make the games a world class event! Good job Ly, Phil, Justin and Crew!

Hey Lisa, just wondering how your walk is going. Not sure if you are checking the post, but if so, we all wish you well.
Next year we need to at least put together an affiliate team, who is in?

Hey Bob- I hope you don't think I am ignoring you, I have commented back other times you have asked, the final day to weigh in is scheduled to be 7/15. If you can't make it in then Monday is fine. Good luck, it has been exciting to see people lose weight and PR....you should all give yourselves a pat on the back!

No, I know you did Lo....I was just making sure it was OK to do it on MONDAY evening since we are going to be out of town the rest of the week.
Hope you guys are having a good time!

Well I finished the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer today and I am whooped!! Yesterday we started at 7:00 am from Golden Gate Park and headed toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We walked across the bridge into Fort Baker and then into Sausalito. After Sausalito I left my fellow walkers and joined the other 2800 walkers to complete the 26.2 miles. I was nervous since I hadn’t trained for the walk this year; however, to my surprise Crossfit has done me some real good! I completed the marathon an hour and a half earlier this year than last year and felt pretty good. WHOO HOO, GO CROSSFIT!!
Today we returned to the city to walk another 13.1 miles throughout San Francisco. Let’s just say I don’t really think there is much flat land in San Francisco because we went up so many hills and I mean STEEP hills. We walked a little slower today due to being sore but we barreled though it and finished around 1:30pm. I was so happy to be done!!
I am very sore and have soaked in the tub but nothing seems to be doing the trick to ease these stiff and sore muscles!! Not sure if I will make it to Crossfit tomorrow as I think my body needs a day of rest!! Thank you all for your support and I’m glad you all had a great time at the games!!!
