This weekend I went to Phoenix, AZ for a big CrossFit competition put on by SICFit with Games and Regional competitors all in the house. This was the only photo I got right before we left. I had a great time competing, as always. Although, I had a couple top performances I also made a couple mistakes that ended up costing me the chance to compete for the podium. There were 76 competitors in my division. I had two 2nd place finishes and ended up tied for 11th after four WODs. I needed to be in the top 10 to be able to compete in the final workout for a shot at the podium. A few things didn’t make sense, but they were things I couldn’t control. Back to the gym to continue training hard and focusing on things I can control. – WW

Congrats to Coach Sarah, Melissa J., and, Coach Rose for representing the women of CrownTown by sweeping the podium in their age bracket at the 5k they ran on Saturday. Awesome work ladies!
