Over 65 people came out to the 1st Event of The Fittest Games Challenge on Saturday February 9th. Men and women in the beginner, intermediate, and elite divisions all completed a challenging and fun workout! Marco Talamentez and Lisa Bender took 1st place in the Elite mens and womens divisions with their competition on their heels! Suzy, a beginner to CrossFit also signed up for this event even though shes only been CrossFitting for 1 month! "Initially I was planning on wimping out and just watching everyone else compete. But after seeing other folks do it, and getting some encouragement, I got up the nerve and put my name on the board" The workout was kept secret until the morning of the competition. At 8am participants were sectioned into heats, watches were set, and it was 3-2-1-Go!

When asked about the intensity level, Suzy commented, "The intensity of the workout was fine for me since I did the modified thing. My focus was really just to do it and have fun and I think I succeeded!" Ken who CrossFits at GSX in Ft. Worth came in a close second behind Marco. "I really liked the challenge. I thought it fit my strengths well which is why I really thought I should have won it. Marco put up a great number, those last two runs just really kicked my butt and I came up short. The competition was great. After it was all over I would say its all pretty close. Nobody looks like they're are going to walk away with it."
