I won the 2014 Crossfit Open

April fools!  Well... if I think about this for a minute I did win. I conquered it, I showed up for all 5 weeks and I put the best out that I had for that day.  For me the Crossfit season ended Friday and here's my results as I stack up against the world, the NW region, and at my local box (gym)

52nd percentile world wide

55th percentile in the NW

8th in my box (gym)


















So, am I happy with my results sort of; like I said I finished, I did it.  This last year for me was really about developing 2 new skills Muscle Ups and the Snatch.  I spent almost 3 full months on the Snatch and I saw HUGE improvements (full snatch 170#) however, while pursuing this I did very little aerobic work and well... the Games is VERY aerobic think Jane Fonda with a Barbell.  The Muscle Up was another major part of my training, well really developing pulling strength and that development lead me to be able to link 3 unbroken Muscle Ups.

Ok Ok OK enough the BS excuses, so what's the goal this year?  To kick ass and take names at the Open next year!  My strength numbers are good Back Squat is 405, Clean and Jerk is 235#, Push Press is 230#, Snatch is 170#, and Deadlift is 420#.  So, the focus has to be increase aerobic output and so we begin.  Soccer season starts for me tomorrow and I haven't played in a couple years :/

Congratulations to everyone that competed this year in the 2014 Crossfit Open it was a lot of fun!
