CrossFit Sectional - The Arnold Classic!

The 2010 CrossFit Games Sectionals for the state of Ohio was held at the Arnold Classic this year in Columbus, OH. To watch the events yesterday was unreal, spectacular, and amazing. To be honest, I'm kicking myself in the butt for not competing this year because I really do think that I could have done well on all the WODs they did. The list of WODs is here.

Some of the highlights from my trip including seeing "The Governator" himself - Yes, Arnold showed up to the event and actually counted down one of the WODs (3-2-1- GO!). He also made a little speech about kids and people in general and the obesity problem in our country. It was really nice to see him attend The Games because it really puts CrossFit on the map.

I also saw Sylvester Stallone while walking. He was on his phone and was much shorter in person than I thought. Maybe 5'7"?

And lastly, I had the privilege of watching Josh Everett workout right in front of me. Yeah he's amazing at CrossFit. Elite is the word. Here are some pictures:
