Reebok Crossfit Games 2013

Like I've mentioned before, I'm an audience of Crossfit. This interest has intrigued me even more after the Reebok Crossfit Games 2013 held last weekend in Carson, Calif.

If you're a Crossfitter, I don't have to tell you about the games. You would have watched them all. If you haven't watch it, check out the event videos at games.crossfit.com.

The reason why I like crossfit so much is because of the strength and power each crossfitter has. The improvement they have at each training session is remarkable ! So just imagine the vibe at the games with all the Elite Crossfit Athletes doing all kinds of challenges.

My favorite athletes to watch were:

1) Valerie Voboril

Loved her pull-ups ! She kept on going without breaking. And she's a 4th grade teacher. How cool is that ?

2) Lindsey Valenzuela

I didn't focus on her during the games coz honestly I was focusing more on the men's games. But I did a search on her after the games and whoa ! I wanna be like her ! #liftlikelindsey #BELIEVE

3) Camille Le-Blanc Bazinet

Ahhh Camille..She was the first crossfit athlete I knew of. I super love watching her in action. Doesn't matter which position she stands, I will alwats root for Camille!

4) Dan Bailey

Another favorite. Don't know why. But he is the 8th fittest man on earth !

5) Rich Froning Jr


3-PEAT !

Seriously, need I say more why he’s one of my favorite athlete ? He’s calm at every challenge. He follows his own pace and never worries about other athletes. He didn’t aim for the first place at every event(or maybe he did, I don’t know), just as long he was ahead of his competition. Which was Jason Khalipa, the 2008 champion.

My favorite event was definitely the final men’s heat of The Cinco. Froning’s handstand walk was really awespiring ! And men's final heat have the greatest athletes :D


So for now I am still an audience but on 12th August 2013, I'll be joining the foundation class at Crossfit Vidatha ! Yeay ! Wish me luck !
