My first competition was a Team comp (2x female and 1x male) at my local Box that occurred about three weeks before stuff hit the fan in 2020. We came in dead last and had absolute blast doing it. While I have many fond memories of that day, there is one that I will take to the grave: Last event of the day and I'm desperately trying to slug my way through the last set of toes to bar that my team needed to complete to finish the WOD. I suddenly notice everyone in the Box is cheering me on and a quick look left and right lets me know this probably has a lot to do with fact I'm the only one still working in that heat. Oh well, if you're going to go down, you might as well go down swinging.
Pure wisdom. I’ve done a bunch of competitions, and your advice is so sound. This community is lucky to have you. So generous with the time you take to make these videos
I've entered my first comp then promptly run into a few issues with injuries and illness and was starting to get cold feet. Just listening to you has reminded me - it's just for fun, no big deal. Good timing - thanks
Love this video... will definitely be checking out your other competition content. I'd love an more thorough video about competition day nutrition. do I eat fruit loops or stick with clean carbs? should I change my meals if it a cardio WOD or a lifting WOD. How much time should I allow between meals? Comp day eating stresses me out more the workouts. lol. I've been searching for an in depth discussion on the topic and haven't found any good videos yet. 🤷🏻♀️
Great video! In my first competition in Greece, after event 1 I went out from the battlefield and I throw up.. 😂 Sorry that was my second competition 😂😂

I want to do one so bad in August just for the experience 😬 I'm no beast but I know it would challenge me in a way have never been before!
I did the CrossFit Open this year and I had fun doing it but the one thing i wish i had done was not to drink an energy drink before workout
First comp in 3 days!
Videos are always on point, great content!.... but the food videos dude 🤦🏻♂️lol
😂 apologies
When he said “The amount of gear you bring on competition day” ***starts packing trenbolonga sandwiches*****
I wish CJ would program swimming 🏊♂️ It’s one of my few strengths.
Haha I'm glad he doesn't
Can you please do a no rep video?
