So 10 athletes set out to find how they stack up against the competition both within our school and the entire CrossFit community by competing in CrossFit Scottsdale’s 1st Rx Challenge. The Unknown and Unknowable were the themes throughout the 3 week challenge. Week 1, two “Girl” WODs, “Elizabeth” followed by “Annie”. WOD 2 wasn’t announced until everyone had finished WOD one and I know those double unders felt totally different after the squat cleans and ring dips. Week 2, CrossFit Games style with 2 brand new WODs and a little head to head action. Think shoulders to overhead ladder. Week 3, back to CrossFit “Girl” and Leaderboard WODs with a surprise floater. All althetes pushed themselves to new heights whether it was wining their heat, getting on the top of the leaderboard or setting their own new PR. Everyone went away winning and knowing exactly where their strengths and weaknesses during competition lie. Congratulations to all of you and continue to live life Rx’d!
