2010-03-07 Rest Day

Rest day…..hmmm…it definitely was NOT a rest day for Christina and David…

We just got home from Huntsville where we attended the Alabama / Mississippi / Tennessee Sectional for the 2010 CrossFit Games this weekend.  41Fitness trainer/owner David Sumner and friend Christina Van Der Hulst both competed to qualify for the 2010 CrossFit Games Regional Qualifier which feeds the 2010 CrossFit Games.  David placed 39th overall, out of 70 athletes, which was impressive considering he was sick and running a fever during the competition.  Christina placed 2nd overall and will be advancing to the Regional Qualifier in May.  Congrats to both of them for a job well done!

The weather this weekend was much better than the weather during the Garage Games.  The CrossFit community was welcoming, energetic, and supportive as usual.  Thanks to Russell Berger, owner of CrossFit Huntsville, the volunteers, and the judges, who put on a great event!
