CrossFit Qualifiers

Yesterday, I went to the CrossFit Qualifiers which are the preliminary heats to qualify for the CrossFit games that are in July. Two people from my gym entered. JD and Justin.

Both are great athletes. JD works out with his fiance, Natty. Both JD and Natty are terrific people, fun to work out with and great team players.

Justin is one of the incredible trainers at CFV. More than that, he is such an awesome supporter. He is always there, teaching, coaching, urging, helping, caring and cheering. I could not have done some of the stuff that I do if it was not for Justin. It was an honor to be able to support and cheer for him for a change.

The workouts were tough. There were two workouts:

Workout A*For time (10 minute cap):

• Row 500m
• 30 Burpees
• 10 Shoulder-to-Overhead (Men: 165#, Women: 95#)

Workout B Max reps in 10 minutes of (must do 10 of each to qualify):

• Muscle-Up
• Ground-to-Shoulder (Male: 185#, Female: 105#)

Both JD and Justin represented CFV incredibly well - they both finished the first one in the time alloted. On the second, their individual strengths showed up - JD on the lifting and Justin on the Muscle-Ups. Here is a short video of Justin doing a few of the amazing number of muscle ups that he did.

Crossfit Vallejo came out in strength to support them both.

Congratulations Justin and JD!!!
