Event 2 of the CF Games- Sandbag 2015
Today I had the opportunity to watch the first day of the CrossFit Games. Athletes started the day off at 7AM at Hermosa Beach with a swim and paddle board workout. The time cap was 55 minutes if that gives you any idea on how difficult it was. Not even 6 hours later, athletes met at the Stub Hub center to battle the “Sandbag 2015” event. This is as functional as it gets. Athletes carrying 50 and 70+ lb sandbags up and down stairs, up and over walls, wheel barreling them, etc. I was sweating watching them. Watching these events makes you realize the difference between CrossFit as a sport, and CrossFit as a workout. Which do you do it for?
