Results....We gotta have results!

Well, we all made it back from the Fittest Games Challenge at CrossFit Dallas Central this weekend. We had a great time, met some great people, and got in a couple of blistering workouts! Spencer and Sam Nix along with Koy Nichols are great guys with a whole heap of knowledge floating around their box. This is displayed by the many amazing athletes they have at their place. Among other things, they also managed to put on a well organized competition. Of CF Denton County, we had 5 total competitors and threw down a pretty decent showing if I must say so myself.

The competitors and Final Standing were: (Note: there were MENS & WOMENS categories)
1) Bevin, 7th
2) Lindsey, 5th
3) Matt, 4th
4) Dave-o
5) Myself, 11th

Dave had an issue going into the second heat that managed to keep him out of it which was too bad, as he would've killed in it. But, Matt kicked ass and so did the girls, so when you see them give 'em a much earned "Congrats"! They did a helluva job and put up a helluva fight!

On Competition: I believe its a good thing to get out and do something like this every now and then. I know at CFDC we have been throwing around ideas left and right on bringing competitions to our joint. It allows for one to be able to see what kind of progress they have made and what kind of person they are when they get dragged outside their realm of comfort among friends. Not to mention you get to meet some pretty cool like minded people along the way. So, be on the lookout in the future for some local competitions, affiliate comps, and all out fun.

As and aside, Bevin and I went to a restaurant afterwards on Saturday that deserves some attention. Its a locally owned place that lovingly caters to Crossfitters and "health-nuts" alike. It's called The Kozy Kitchen, and I have to say, it was everything that it was said to be. They serve made from scratch foods, grass fed meats, copious amounts of vegetables, assortments of wines, and all at a pretty reasonable price. Also note worthy is the fact that they are willing to cook just about anything the way you want it and/or like it, if they have it in stock. I had a grass-fed beef filet with a mixed veggie sautee and a glass of red wine, while Bevin had an amazing chicken salad sandwich with a side of sweet potato hash. The hash was phenomenal. Few things beat bacon and sweet potato sauteed in olive oil. So, for you Zoners and Paleo followers alike, the next time you are around their area, visit them and try to wear a CrossFit shirt! They will know why you have come!
