Slave Stealer Throwdown

I participated in my very first  crossfit competion.  It was a charity event for Operation Underground Railroad. It's a charity that is stopping child slavery and sex trafficing. 

The event was all for charity and we found out about it 4 days before the event so we did not have long to train for it but we also did not have long to stress about it. It was a team event so Valerie and I did the workout as a team. 

We had a great time. 

The workout was 

30 Snaches with 55#

40 Pull up with a band

30 Squat Clean with 85#

40 Wall balls with an 8# ball

30 Deadlifs with 115#

40 Burpees

Since it was a partner workout I only did half that and that was enought. The squat cleans were the hardest for me. 

It was fun to be around so many people and be excited about crossfit. 

After the workout we got to watch some of the top crossfit athletes in the world compete against each other. It was so cool to watch them workout. I can't explain how awesome it was for me to see them doing some of the things I do at crossfit. The energy as amazing and I loved every minute of it. 

Here are some of the pictures I took.
