Yes and yes, she qualified for nationals.

I got to meet her through various friends and she seemed very nice.
She was upset at her placing though.

Lockout had the longest line out of all the booths there too!
Good job Greg!
I saw you up there but didn't want to come bother you or anything.

She looks like a 12 yo boy with a couple grapefruits on her chest. No offense, i just dont dig on ripped chicks. I do appreciate the effort and dedication to get there though.

She's very sweet.. She looked awesome, I'm surprised she didn't get in 1st.
I am taking off work for the next one!

i didnt have alot of time to walk around to check out the booths, but there were a ton of people there. over 500+ Crossifitters representing and competing too. was a great crowd. was very cool to see such a large crowd throughout the entire venue and everyone had a common interest of overall "good health"

How many cross fitters were there?

no clue. wasn't in the top 50 that's for sure. lol

I’d love to be truly competitive one day, but a reality check is I need to lose another 30lbs to get there & my form/technique on a lot of lifts needs major improvement. Snatch was the 3rd exercise and I only managed 155lbs. my form was terrible. I need to learn to feel comfortable pulling under the bar. they haven't listed the entire field yet, but when they do I’ll update. I’m not embarrassed the least bit. I’m down to 215lbs from 260lbs. I need to be at 185lbs in my mind and then I think I’d be able to have a fighting chance.

There were definitely tons of CF'ers there alright!

Good job Tinkrd, sounds like you have done a great job with the weight loss.
Keep it up and keep us posted on your progression!

I heard it was really bright in there so there was a rash of dudes wearing sunglasses inside. They were also wearing flat billed hats cocked to the side just a bit.
