I started preparing for the 2011 CrossFit Games Open sectionals back in mid-February with the goal of making it to the Regionals. This goal was one in which I knew it would be hard to attain, as the open format of this year's Sectionals were online, opening it up to MANY more competitors than previous years. In fact, there were over 33,000+ competitors worldwide competing!!! This is fantastic, not only for CrossFit, but the health and fitness of everyone out there. There is nothing better to create elite fitness for the average person.
But I am happy to announce that I made it to the 2011 CrossFit Games Regionals! These include the top 60 men and top 60 women out of 4,000+ competitors in our region. Of which, 1000+ were men I was trying to beat. I finished with an overall rank of 38 in the North Central region, and 377th in the entire world. See my stats here.
Up next is the Regionals, being played out in Chicago at Navy Pier on May 27-29th. More details here! I'm super excited to compete and have a blast in Chicago! Of course, I hope to do well, and my next goal is to finish in the top 30!
I want to thank my amazing, understanding, supporting, and encouraging wife for all she has done these past months. It's been tough, having to train before she gets up and then after work, sometimes without her, and her relentless commitment to understanding this has not gone unnoticed. I love you hun, and thank you for allowing me to do this. Only one more month to go! To my son, he is a huge reason I do this. I want to live long and healthy for him. And thank you to everyone on Facebook, Twitter, and at the gym, your support is huge and I thank you so much! And most importantly, to God, whom has given me the athletic ability and drive. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Beast mode, engage....
