I’m riding back from The Dirty South Qualifier in Jacksonville. I had an awesome time! It was great to see my CrossFit friends, meet some new ones, and watch several freaks of nature do their thing. CrossFit competitions pump me up! I can’t wait to get into The Boneyard and start working on getting my first muscle-up! 😉
Congratulations to Christina who placed 6th overall. She went from 27th place up to 26th and then 10th on Day 1. She moved up to 6th place after today’s final two events. Visit http://vimeo.com/theboneyard to watch her in action.
