CrossFit Games

Just drove to Wollongong, about 2 and a half hours from Canberra. It's on the coast and It's beautifully warm here, so have left the coat, scarves and gloves behind.

However, haven't spent anytime walking along the beach or taking in the sea air, I've raced straight inside the entertainment centre to witness the National CrossFit Championships.

Very fluorescent, both the lighting and the clothing, and feels like the middle of the night. The arena is full of VERY fit, muscly and tanned looking people. They also look very serious about it all too.

This is the girls session and after lifting these weights 50 times the need to go and do 40 pullups on the bars to the left and then repeat it all again for a couple of times! Crazy - our gym trainers in the mens comp - he's currently ranked 31 in Australia... Amazing but very scary! He'll be worked up and even more intense for our training session next week :(

Going to stay in a Buddhist Monastery tonight - will be interesting. Left booking accommodation too late (and due to the games) there were no rooms left whatsoever. May do a blip of unusual lodgings tomorrow!
