Hanging out at the 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games. Ran into my friend and heroine 2000 Olympic team member Cara Heads-Slaughter! Hearts.

Congratulations to Courtney Walker (@walkercourtney5) for finishing 13th at The NorCal CrossFit Games Regionals. With just under a year of CrossFit training under her belt, this was Courtney’s first year competing on the big stage. Looking forward to watching her during the 2014 season!

CrossFit Games Open WOD 13.2

13.2 is in the house with some metabolic spiciness! We’ve got a crazy stack of some shoulders to overhead, deadlifts, and box jumps. The catch? The weights are super light and the workout is only 10min long. What will separate the best from the rest won’t be their motor, their lungs or their strength. It’s going to be all about movement efficiency and timing in transition. Keep these pointers in mind for better efficiency to carry you through the WOD:

Elisabeth is the first CrossFit athlete to join MDUSA as a resident team member. The Arnold’s is the first event where she competed for MDUSA and she killed it!

#Snatch - 172lbs/78kg, 183lbs/83kg, 191lbs/87kg
#CleanAndJerk - 220lbs/100kg, 229lbs/104kg (miss), 229lbs/104kg (miss)
Total - 411lbs/187kg

Can’t wait to follow her progress towards the 2013 #CrossFitGames!
