2010-02-07 Rest Day

Rest day…..hmmm…it definitely was NOT a rest day for Christina and David…

We just got home from Woodstock, Georgia where we attended the 2010 Garage Games.  To say it was an eventful weekend would be an understatement.  It was awesome!  The weather and WODs were brutal, competition was friendly but fierce, and the community of people was great!

41Fitness owner/trainer David Sumner, member Brandon Cobb, and friend Christina Van Der Hulst competed well and had lots of fun doing it!  We are very proud and excited for Christina, who competed with 11 other females in the advanced category and won 1st place overall.  She placed 1st in the first 2 WODs and 2nd in third and fourth WODs.  She was in 1st place going into the final Chipper which gave her a 5 second head-start.  Of course she didn’t need it!  🙂

41Fitness member Brandon Cobb competed with 54 competitors in the Intermediate category.  He was unable to participate in the second day/fourth WOD because of a prior engagement.  However he still placed 44th!  This was his first CrossFit competition.  Congrats Cobb!  We are very proud of you!

David competed with 54 advanced males.  Wow!  There were some beasts!  He was a little too nice to pass people on the 7K trail run, placing 40th.  He won’t let that happen again.  😉  David placed 10th, 15th, and 22nd in the other three WODs, placing him 22nd overall.  He was pleased with his performance and he represented us well!

We have many photos and videos from the event.  We hope to share those and lots of stories with you in the next few days….photos, videos, and stories that include David and Christina doing an AMRAP outside in 40-degree weather while it’s sleeting, using muddy, slippery wall balls and freezing cold kettlebells!

View the five WODs from the Garage Games below.  These are in the order that the beginners and advanced athletes competed.  Brandon and the other intermediates did the trail run last on the first day.  Here are the final results for the event.
