The 2015 CrossFit Games came to an end this weekend with Ben Smith and Katrin Davidsdottir taking the crown. Hopefully you got to watch some of the events, this year was a tough year to be sure, and those who did well certainly earned it. It can be pretty amazing to watch athletes of that caliber do what they did over the weekend, especially for those of you who train at CrossFit and know what those movements feel like, and understand how heavy some of those weights were that they were moving.
The cool thing is that it all started with the CrossFit Open back in February. Do you remember that? Of course you do! But that’s where the whole thing started, and then the Regionals, and finally the Games. It’s kind of cool to think that you competed “along side” all of those who we watched on TV over the weekend during the Open.
Another thing that is really cool about the Games is it makes us realize we have more in us. The weeks following the Games you guys are always a little more motivated with your training. There’s a lot of talk about who did what in the copetition, and there’s the realization that even though what we watched was the best of the best, we end up feeling like we still have some room to grow and get better.
It’s amazing to see how far this whole thing has come, from the first Games being nothing more than a BBQ with some WODs thrown in at Dave Castro’s family ranch in California, to being on ESPN, streamed live, with huge prize money and Nike driving around the venue with billboards because they weren’t invited to be part of it…it’s amazing! And awesome!
So, we have about 7 months until the 2016 CrossFit Open begins. That’s a lot of time to get better at what you do in the gym. Are you going to be ready?!
