Is this Heaven? No it's the Crossfit games!

So I went up to Armoas early to help with the logistics of the games this year. I went up early last year but didn't help out as much. I got to the site on Wednesday and did not stop until Sunday night around 9pm! Wouldn't have changed it for the world!

I was in the thick of things at a level that I was not at last year. People asked me how long I have been working for CFHQ because they though I was working for them and not just volunteering. Organizing Judges, volunteers, running registration, yelling at people to get out of the way, working at the Crossfit store or beer garden, to cooking chicken at one of the vendors to make sure that all of our judges got fed and were happy! I did it all. I even tackled bees! Did it all with a huge smile on my face. I loved every minute of it. The great people that I worked with, the amazing strength that I got to witness in the competitors, the generosity of judges and volunteers to bust their ass all weekend to make it possible and just all of the special people who I got to meet. Just amazing.

Mel and Priscella decided they wanted to come up and watch. Well watching turned into volunteering at registration which turned into judging the affiliate competition which turned into working the beer garden. Priscella made some money from tips at the beer garden and Mel had to take a nap in the truck because she needs just a little more sleep then some to operate at a functional level. Both had a great time and I was glad that they were there with me to enjoy the games. Stella and Sarah came with the kids as well and camped the first night. Which was a WOD for the two of them in itself with 6 kids. But a fun experience for the kids and the moms at the games! The hill in Aromas babysat their kids and gave Stella's middle kid a sore butt from running up and down.

The memories, smiles and laughter, friends I made and the people who made this happen are things that I will never forget and can't wait to see them next year!
