IronFest

On Saturday, D, myself, Noelle, and some friends from CFBF spent the afternoon in Tempe at East Valley Crossfit Iron Fest. This was the first time we went to one of these competitions and I have to say, it was pretty cool! Seeing what some of these people can do and how much they can lift really helps motivate ya to wanna keep with it! I joined Crossfit Battlefit in November last year and have been loving it ever since! D joined in December and so far he is loving it as well! We are addicted! :)
I wanted to share some photos I took during the men's Olympic lifting. We didn't make it in time for the women's, but showed up in the last heat of their metcon (AMRAP in 7 minutes-7 box jumps, 7 kettlebell swings, 7 pull-ups), so that was really cool to see them compete a  little as well. We had to leave early so we missed out on the men's metcon as well. The lifting was pretty amazing though! The main reason we went up was to watch and support our own trainer and Crossfit Battlefit's owner, Nathan. In the end he tied for 4th out of quite a few men so he did really well.

Soaking up the sun, enjoying some beers, and watching some major weight being thrown around! What could possibly be more fun!
We had a great afternoon! :)
