2010 Crossfit Games

So the 2010 games just ended and I gotta be honest, I hated watching it. I was disappointed in the last several minutes of competition. Very anti-climactic. Did Speal win? Did Rich pull it out, Did Kahlipa somhow come from nowhere and take it from under their noses? Wait and we'll let you know (insert jeopardy theme music here)(insert any crappy MUZAK elevator music here). Dammit, just give us a winner. Felt like waiting for the end of a fight and them going to the judges scorecard... boring... you lost me. I like to know right when its over what the outcome is. Not all this wait around and tally up points bull. My ADD kicks in about 10 minutes into anything like that and I start pacing. To be honest, i much more enjoyed the female comp than then men's. Kristen Clever put on a hell of a performance and kicked ass on the last three wods to win it all. Congrats.

The competition itself is very hard to watch without wanting to do it. All of the movements that were in it this year I have! Ring HSPU check, 135lb squat snatch-check, rope climbs- check. arrrrrrrg! I can't really place my finger on it, but I just feel blah about the whole comp this year. oh well. 364 more days until we do it again.

yours in the pursuit
Drew
