CrossFit Games 2011: Day 1

The big finale of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games went down July 29-31 in Carson, California.  The competition was fierce this time around as the best of the best in the world of fitness came together to battle it out in the Home Depot Center.  Day 1 workouts consisted of sandbag carries over logs and walls for the teams followed by an all-out 100-yard dash.  Individuals started their day off with an ocean swim and a little WOD (workout of the day) I like to call "Surf 'n Murph".  Later in the day they were treated to a round of heavy clean and jerks.  Here is a portfolio of my work from the first day....



















My own gym, CrossFit Fort Vancouver, is a big contender in the Games having won the Affiliate Cup last year.  This year they placed a very respectable fourth place.  I have to spotlight "my team" on each day's recap as my fellow CFV members are very proud of our Team Green!
