Discover CrossFit: Stomach versus Heart.



On April 6th, I am not only attending a CrossFit event....I am helping to host it.

Discover CrossFit is Nanaimo's first public competition and celebration to showcase the growing sport of CrossFit and its amazing community. Hosted by CrossFit Nanaimo and sponsored by Frontrunners Nanaimo, New Balance and 2XU Compression Clothing, the event will feature something for everyone!

The event will comm
ence with an athlete competition which will be the final WOD of the 2013 world wide CrossFit Open series. These athletes are able to compare their standings to CrossFit athletes world wide and many are aiming for a coveted spot in the Canada West Regionals, the next step in making it to the 2013 CrossFit Games in California.

Not aiming for the games? Compete anyways! A variety of heats and scaling options will be offered for those who wish to participate and all members of CrossFit Nanaimo will be encouraged to compete at the level they are capable of. There will be prizes from New Balance awarded to the first place male and female finisher in all three zones (RX, zone one, and zone two)!

Following the competition, there will be a introductory lesson and beginner WOD open to any willing member of the community. There will also be prizes from Frontrunners Nanaimo for everyone who participates. So bring your workout gear!

These athletes and participants will be putting on quite a show and they will need your support so invite everyone you can. Spectators for all events are highly encouraged!

The competition and beginner lesson will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity for participants and spectators to browse, test, and purchase the products brought by the sponsors (Frontrunners, New Balance and 2XU Compression Clothing).

So what are you waiting for?! All you need to do is sign up here and show up on April 6th. Join the fastest growing sport community and see what's in it for you at Discover CrossFit!

This is a big step for me in so many ways.....who am I kidding....this is a giant leap outside my comfort zone! I will be promoting the sport I am so fond of, representing the company I work for and competing (at a scaled level) in front of my family, friends and strangers. I have never done that before. Aside from the odd running event, I don't really compete....at anything.

Discover CrossFit is less than two weeks away. You know that feeling when it seems there is a war between your stomach and your heart? Your nerves have twisted your stomach way past the point of butterflies but your heart is beating absurdly fast because of how excited you are. Nerves versus excitement. Stomach versus heart. That is how I feel.
