CF Games:
Sad. Amazing. Inspiring. This was the biggest blow to the Games this past weekend when longtime Games athlete Julie Foucher was injured in the Central Regional on the Over the Box Jumps. This was her last year competing and she was poised for a Regional podium finish after sitting in first place after day 1. What was just unreal was after being injured in event 3 (in which she was well on her way to finishing 1st in that event) Julie stayed in and competed in a walking boot through the weekend in the Handstand Walk, Max Snatch, HSPU/C2B/Row workout, and the the MU Clean ladder. She finished 8th overall. With a BOOT.

With Regionals weekend officially over I am personally exhausted (I bet Mark was too as he judged with me). While not as tiring as what the athletes go through, being out on the competition floor judging for three long days kind of numbs you to CrossFit by the end and kills your back, knees, and feet. After a LONG night’s sleep I woke up feeling groggy but fired up to watch the other Regionals I missed (taking the day off was perfect) and by the afternoon I was already missing it. Watching the drama and race unfold of each workout and the effort to get on the podium is even better when you are up close and a part of the process to find the fittest athletes to move on. I’m already thinking I’ll judge again next year and can’t wait to go watch the Games and go coach Jules in Carson in less than two months! Every year I wonder if CrossFit will ever get old and every year my passion for it actually grows.
I saw this article below on social media today and instantly thought “of course I know all these things”. So fun to read and remember!

“In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.
This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.” ~ from CrossFit.com
“Murph” was a Hero and Navy Seal who received the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action during Operation Red Wings. LT Murphy died while leading his team and risking his personal safety repeatedly to call for support for his team while involved in a heavy ambush by Taliban forces. The battle claimed the lives of 11 Navy SEALs and 8 US Army Nightstalkers from TF 160 SOAR. Three of the CrossFit Hero WOD’s are dedicated to three of those fallen (JT, Murph and Michael).
Today we honored our fallen veterans with “Memorial Day Murph”. There were 55 of us who came in and honored our heroes. Thanks to all who came and supported one another and pushed through a tough workout. Thank you to all who served and never forget all who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
