This past weekend I competed in my very first CrossFit Competition!!! And I lived to tell about it! :)
SuperFit Games |
Brandon & Warren and Meagan & I participated in Team SuperFit Charlotte at CrossFit Steele Creek & it was an absolute blast!!
It was a very long day, starting at about 7am, with 3 total workouts. None of us made it to the 4th & final WOD, but in the end, we were all ok with that :) We all finished strong & are proud of our individual performances!

B & I - bright eyed & bushy tailed! |
My awesome partner Meagan! |
Boys getting warmed up |
WOD 1 - 10 min AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible) of 10 Shoulder to Overhead (presses) and 20 Toes to Bar
The boys rocked it out!! They finished with over 8 rounds!
This is my "oh my gosh, have we started yet, I'm so nervous" smile. And our fun friends from CrossFit Huntersville were in the lane next to us - Michelle & Lindsey :)
Meagan rocking the presses! |
I was pretty proud of my T2B in the beginning, best I've ever done! By the end, my grip was gone! |
I love SOH! It's my favorite! |
Here's a video Brandon got of Meagan and me :)
We finished with 4 rounds + 9 more presses! We wanted at least 4 rounds, so goal accomplished!
WOD 2 - 150 Double Unders (Single Unders for us scaled peeps), 50 Deadlifts, 25 Front Squats - 6 minute time cap
The guys did so great! They had to complete 50 Deadlifts at 275lbs & 25 Front Squats at 185lbs! Talk about heavy! They finished in about 4 and a half minutes…strong men!!
I'm so proud of Meagan & I! Meagan rocked that 135lbs deadlift - she got 20 right out of the bat! We both cleaned 95lbs like it was our job & front squatted it like a boss :) This was definitely our favorite WOD! Us girls like to lift heavy ;)
WOD 3 - 10min EMOM (every minute on the minute) of 10 Hand Release Bar Over Burpees with max Power Snatches in remaining minute
Here's some video I got of Brandon & Warren getting after those Burpees & Power Snatches!
Warren took the burpees & B handled the snatches! They finished with 72 total Snatches!
And here's a short video of Meagan & me!
I took all the burpees & Meagan rocked the snatches for us! We had a total of 66 Snatches! (Oh & yes, the lights powered down for a few just before our heat started. GPP baby - general physical preparedness - we're even prepared to workout in the dark! Ha)
It was such an awesome day!! I more than earned this beer :)
We treated ourselves to a big ol' gluten full, cheesy, delicious pizza as a reward for our hard work!
Who knows…maybe I have more competitions in my future!? Either way, I'm so glad I did it! I was never really an athlete growing up so competing is not something I'm used to, but it was such a cool experience! I don't post these pictures to brag, but to encourage anyone reading! Seriously, you can do anything you put your mind to, even compete in amateur CrossFit competitions!! :)
Happy lifting!
You were at my box! Looking fab of course.
