Raleigh Superfit 2013

July 13th was my third competition since starting crossfit last year. Also competing as a team that day was Jenn’s husband, Steve, & Dan – this was Dan’s first competition. It was held in Raleigh at Crossfit Invoke which is owned by an elite crossfit athlete, Christmas Abbott. For those of you that aren’t familiar with her, allow me to introduce you...


You're welcome. =)

As most of you know, because you helped vote, in our last competition, Jenn & I’s team name was Kettlebell Bombshells – we decided to change it to Warrior Princesses this time around. =P Dan & Steve’s team name was Corner 30 – for further meaning behind it, click [here].

Our 1st WOD of the day was:


Here are some photos of Jenn & I in action:

Double unders.


Dan's first time doing pistols, ever!
 
 
One of my favorite action shots of the competition - doing bar jump over burpees.
 
Our 3rd WOD of the day was:


Action Shots:

 
Getting instructions from our judge.



Jenn & I decided to break this WOD up with her doing all of the deadlifts & me doing all of the shoulder to overheads. We didn't see anyone else with this strategy so along with our plan to go "balls to the wall" we thought this strategy could either help us or hurt us...



Jenn & I took 1st place in this WOD - our strategy helped put us into the final WOD of the day which takes the top 5 teams from each division. =)

Really wanting that podium spotlight...
