CrossFit Competition: Arcanum Mile High Games

This weekend, my daughter and I embarked on a three-day CrossFit competition in Glendale, CO. It was the Arcanum Games, and let’s just say it was an experience. First off, we had the weather to contend with. It was cold, rainy, and with lightning and thunder, there were multiple rain delays. Hence, some of the workouts were changed to accommodate the weather.

Overall, it was a good competition. Working out at a CrossFit competition in the pouring rain was definitely an experience. Beside the fact I probably won’t be able to walk on Monday, it was fun.

Some highlights of the CrossFit Competition Arcanum Games:

• I did 15 OHS at 95 lbs.
• I ran on a TrueForm runner.
• I worked out in the rain.
• I lifted in a firehouse.
• I handstand walked over 50 feet.

A three-day CrossFit competition definitely takes its toll. The third day you just showed up and did the workouts. You’re sore, tired, and mentally drained. There’s really no thought behind it.
