Danielle Sidell to take Over

I was thrilled to see CrossFitGames wrote a whole article completely on Danielle. After what happened last year and what she has done since, she deserves every word typed and displayed.
I have been following Sidell from the beginning and to hear about her disqualification, made my heart break for her. I literally wished I could have hugged her and been there to simply say "you are my inspiration and always have been." Danielle having a military background pulled on her combat boots, turned that incident into drive and dedication.
I believe she will more than redeem herself on 14.1; I hope she blows the open out of the water, kills her regionals, makes it to the games so every crossfitter will know her name.
I know she'll make it all the way, not just because of her amazing performances lately and her new PRs, but because she has the edge and focus needed to get to the games. She has the discipline which is apparent by her nutrition and lifestyle of training.
I could rave on and on but I'm sure there will be more posts to come on this amazing athlete.
Here's to you Danielle!
 May the WODs ever be in your favor
Nope cause you dont need that! You can beast through it all! haha

2013 Crossfit Games Recap

Ok I spent my Sunday rest day watching all the 2013Reebok CrossFit Games recap. (There are 5 videos, each about 20-40mins long.)

These videos allow me to get to know te athletes a lot better and remember that even though they are famous to me, they are just normal people. Many of them don't feel they should be there and don't really understand why crossfitters want to take their picture or get an autograph. 

These people are just gifted and hard working athletes that want to share and spread they're love of crossfit to the community. They are not like other athletes like basketball players or whatnot who just play just to get a paycheck but true inspiration because you can really see that they want all athletes to succeed and to push themselves; they want people to really share the love of crossfit and to experience it themselves. 

Here is to ALL the hard working crossfitters who train day in and day out giving their all whether you are a newbie or a games champ.

Here is the link: http://games.crossfit.com

Just scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you'll see the different videos (remember there are 5 parts!).

Garret Fisher Interview

Most crossfitters are familiar with this handsome lad: Garret Fisher. I'm sure this years CrossFit Games wont be the first and last time we see him there. He was a rookie this year but man did he make a statement and let his name be known to the crossfit community.
Not only is he a handsome young fellow (How you doin? ...read in Joey T voice), by young I mean young enough for me to date haha, anyways but he also showed his abilities by landing himself a good ranking in the games. His hair sure does have some fans; you can even purchase a Garret Fisher "Johnny Bravo" status shirt in womens and mens. I'm pretty sure I need me one (in a size small please lol)!
In the interview you get to know a little more about what's underneath that epic hair!

First Time CrossFit Competitor: Garret Fisher

Man Beneath the Hair

This video goes into the thoughts and ideas of Garret Fisher. Who is he? He is a Crossfit athlete who made it to the Crossfit Games this year for the first time. He even kept up with the big boys like the infamous Rich Froning and Jason Kalipa.
Watching this video is so inspiring and I wish I could personally tell him that. It's amazinf how the power of Crossfit athletes influence me so. Garret came out of nowhere and has made such a huge impact in a matter of months. That is the beauty of the Crossfit Community, sharing and broadcasting athletes left and right. He made it to the (upper) top and his hard work should be noticed. I do notice it; I follow his IG and FB account. Want some inspiration, go follow him.
His 19 year old sister, Lauren Fisher, is equally amazing. She will be someone to watch for sure. I follow her on her IG as well. Here is a video of here doing a 72k snatch. Seriously she may be young but man she is on my list of inspirations! Check her out!


I keep tabs on the Crossfit Games Site because of what they post and put out their to the Crossfit community. I find inspiration with the big and small athletes and I want to thank the community for putting their athletes on blast!

CrossFit Games

So it's a week since its been over...and I still haven't stopped thinking about it! I was utterly upset I couldn't make it this year due to the insanely fast sellout. I was attached to my computer for the whole week.

Eating and studying in front of it. Taking notes I might add, of movements, tips and other stuff. 

I will be there next year! At a computer the second they are released! 

I lived vicariously through FB and IG pics which kept me in the loop and made me uber jealous all at the same time!

Reebok seriously outdid themselves this year. I was so amazed at the work put in to the venue and athletes and community and I wasn't even there! Reebok has grown hugely in my favor ever since their Reebok CrossFit came about. They're new releases of gear and apparel was awesome. I have been questioning so many athletes who have gotten the new nanos and lifters how they are and I had no doubt I'd get fabulous responses. And sure enough, everyone has amazing things to share. I have not yet gotten new 3.0s but they are on my list! As well as the new lifters! 

One day...

I just loved this pic of Stacie Tovar...I saved soo many photos that are so inspirational. 

So until next year...I'll grow and train and get stronger for the next Open!
