So I had my first crossfit competition over the weekend. I was on a team of three. The first event was very fast paced and exciting. I was a bit disappointed to find out that the whole competition was very heavy on bar work, but Janet helped put it in perspective for me, because it played to her strengths. I suppose no competition is perfectly weighted in all directions.
On the first day of the competition one of my teammates, Pat, got very ill and could not continue. Mike, my other teammate, and I had a choice. We could continue on as individuals, or we could compete as a team of two instead of three. We chose to continue on as a team and to my surprise, we did not come in last on any event. I was very happy that we were able to finish all 5 WODs.
After the competition numerous people came down with stomach flus and colds including me. I had a three day fever of 101, and severe fatigue. I went to the doctor and he told me I had some form of mono, hopefully its not the kind that lasts months.
I cant wait to be back at the gym training!
