Virginia/DC/WV CrossFit Games Sectional

Kane March 27, 2010 Blog 376 Comments

A very close friend of mine is competing in the Virginia/DC/WV CrossFit Games Sectional this weekend.  We served together when I was in the Navy and still keep in contact regularly.  We’ve been through a lot all over the world.

Skyler Thomas, from coaching staff of Compound CrossFit in Chesapeake, Virginia.

About 8 months ago he finally gave in and said he would test out this “CrossFit” stuff, and made a deal with me he would abandon his traditional weightlifting and and running routine and give CrossFit a try for 30 days.  I believe he thought he would do it for the month, and then fall back into what he was doing before.  Needless to say about 2 1/2 weeks into it he told me he was an idiot for not starting earlier, and has been hitting it hard ever since.

After Day 1 of his sectional he is sitting at 56th place(out of close to 200 CrossFitter’s), and I’d say that’s pretty amazing for someone who has been doing it for less than a year!

Good luck on the last 2 events brother!  You still have a chance to get in the top 20 and earn a seat a regionals!

Here are the events from this competition:

Event 1 (Saturday)
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

Each rep is worth 20 points

Event 3 (Sunday)

    Howdy clever points.. now why didn’t i think of those? Off topic barely, is this web page pattern merely from an extraordinary installation or else do you employ a custom-made template. I take advantage of a webpage i’m in search of to improve and properly the visuals is probably going one of the key things to finish on my list.

    Since the beginning of this fiasco, things that have been claimed on both sides go through a laugh test for me. The disciplnary actions of the coach sounded quirky but reasonable, although I may have taken the route of suspension form the team and at seasons end dismissing him from the team altogether. Craig James rant about he was just being a dad and he needed to protect his baby and other athletes at TT from the inhumane treatment of his little guy with the concussion. That was the best laugh I have had in months. No physical effort was asked, no contact drills were suggested, only go stand in the dark. This kid was never in harms way unless the rumors of how he got the concussion have truth to them. He was supposedly involved in an altercation at a local bar and was injured there. True? Dont know. But if injured away from football activities they should have kicked his A$$ off the team. Then all the B O R BS would have been more transparent.
