Angela Desjarlais of CrossFit Regina (Canada) races to a bronze medal in the Toughest Competitor Alive competition in the 2009 World Police and Fire Games held in Vancouver: Read. But what's really interesting is what Angela said about her preparation: "This year I only did CrossFit to train . . . Four years ago I trained (non-CrossFit) for 2 hours a day/5 days a week and I competed at the world class level and placed 9th out 15. This year I trained 20min-40min/5 days a week and got a medal." Another tale of success (at the Mud Run) from CrossFit Hampton Roads (VA): Read. Competitions are fun, but do they do anything for your business? Andy Petranek (CrossFit LA) thinks the annual Fight Gone Bad fundraiser can actually boost your membership: Video. Posted by Lisbeth at August 17, 2009 12:05 AMComments
Congrats, Angela. Sorry -- just fixed the wording that might have given you that impression, Blanco. Angela's quote was on the CFR blog, not in the newspaper. All is cool! Comment #2 - Posted by: Lisbeth at August 16, 2009 9:47 PMIn case you're interested in what the event entails and my results: 5 Km. Run (3.1 mile) 24:01 The Qualifiers and Last Chance Qualifiers were way more taxing on my body, but good preparation for this all day event.

Stay safe and thanks for your service, Greg Amundson Comment #4 - Posted by: Greg Amundson at August 17, 2009 3:52 PMThank you. That means alot to me! Unfortunately for me the swim holds more point value then the bench press, otherwise it may have been a gold/silver. Swimming is my weakness. Looks like I have new goals to achieve:) Comment #5 - Posted by: angdesj at August 17, 2009 8:54 PMWay to go Angela! We're all proud of you, and your hard work. By the way, Angela is a mother of 2. I'm always more impressed when it's a CrossFit Mama doing such amazing things! Comment #6 - Posted by: Robin @ CrossFit Regina at August 17, 2009 9:43 PMPost a comment |
