CrossFit Qualifier - 4/4/09

Posting this one day late.

Yesterday was the first day of the CrossFit Australasia qualifier, it was unbelievable. Some guys were monsters, however the most important message I took out of the day was good technique will always prevail over brute strength.
Jonathan Yap a 65kg man completing the first C & J WOD in 13.02 was inspirational almost lifting his bodyweight 30 times and then coming and telling me how grateful he was that i kept telling him to just keep putting his hands on the bar. Then saying if i didnt know how to push jerk and was only push pressing i would of never finished that WOD.

Then watching the first heat of the day, Chris Hogan, an efficient man. Perfect technique and efficient on the C & J struggled a bit with ring dips and then was efficent and used the KB swings as a recovery. And the same thing in the rowing WOD he had a complete strategy of how to go about it.

Inspirational day but the real inspiration werent the "monsters or the favourites" to win but the efficient guys, the efficient rowers, Oly-lifters, and most of all the small guys having the courage to hit this up.

No training for me today. Decent amount of calories average food choices with some beers to finish the night.
