Crossfit Games

WEEK TWO

This past Saturday we took a short drive up to Bayou City so James could enter his weekly workout in the competition.  We were able to meet several more Crossfitters who were, as always, super supportive of everyone doing the workout.  This week there were three heats worth of people doing the workout, and James went in heat one.  I'm extremely proud to say that James had one of the BEST results!  I think the only person that beat him was the crossfit trainer who did the workout (and he really doesn't count b/c he's a trainer?!)

The workout was to do 9 deadlifts, 12 pushups, and 15 box jumps - as many rounds of this as you can do in (AMRAP) in 15 minutes.  I took some video from the earlier minutes of his workout (the last few minutes consisted of extreme pain, lots of grunting, and a lake of sweat on the mat below him.)

In this second video I got a quick shot of the box (the gym) and the other crossfitters working out in heat 1.

After two weeks of workouts, James in 153rd place in our region (out of 788 competitors in this region) and he's in 2,318 place out of 11,225 total competitors in the world!!  


I am SO SO proud of him! Some of these people have been doing crossfit for years - James doesn't even have a full year under his belt!
