Clean. Simple. FIT!: Granite Games 2015

Where do I even begin with this weekend? The words life changing and inspiring come to mind. This weekend I lived and breathed CrossFit (fairly normal right?). I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Kill Cliff Granite Games here in St. Cloud. Amazing. Even as I am writing this post I am getting teary eyed thinking of how hard I worked and how incredibly rewarding it was all at the same time. I sit here writing and my feet are throbbing, my arms are all cut up, and bruises line both legs.

It is no secret that I love CrossFit and if I could spend all my time doing it I wouldn’t even have to think about my answer because I’d do it. Being able to set up equipment for world class athletes and being sweated on by those very same people makes me want to hit the gym this very moment.

This weekend I got to spend time with some of the fittest people in the country. Who gets to say that?

I had to put this in here because I got to reset his rower during a WOD and I touched him.
I could've died. Such a cool and down to earth guy.

Although a huge part of my weekend was being there with the athletes it was also the location and the experience. This event was held at St. Cloud State University and we seriously took over. Three separate tournament spaces filled with athletes and spectators alike. I had one major health nerd moment that I thought I’d share with you. When I was told that the food was outside for lunch I figured it’d be the normal fried foods you find at all major sporting events…ummm I was so shocked to see all paleo, healthy, gluten free, and vegan meals being sold! How awesome is that? I wish you could walk down a normal fair street and see those very same options.

Anyway I will be done gushing over my amazing weekend and let you see some pictures!
