Troy was well represented at this years Regional CrossFit Competition as Troy 2 Yes 2 CrossFit gyms both competed. Melissa Mitchell from Practice CrossFit (shown here) was one of their 6 person team that can boost a top 10 finish. Congratualtions Practice.
I must mention the one Practice member that competed as an individual. Kara Foster. I was amazed to watch her determination and effort as she was given the challenge of dead lifting a weight 30 lbs under her 1 rep max 45 times. Sometimes the all the best performances are not recognized by the podium.
It's highly unusual for there to be a community the size of Troy that has 2 healthy and growing CrossFit Training Centers. Something we can ALL be proud of.

Awesome pic, appreciate the post. Its an amazing experience just to be able to watch the determination of so many athletes, especially those from your home town. It was great to see everyone from Crossfit Troy and PCF there.

Yep-that's one of our strong, gutsy ladies. Thanks for this post, Mike.
Once again, it was an gut-wrenching but inspiring weekend. And while I didnt finish that DL wko, I consider that "almost-finish" my greatest accomplishment of the weekend because it was about facing a huge fear head on.
And to expand upon JBs comment...I'm sad to see Sandy not taking on the games. If that honor comes up again next year, let's partner to make sure that opportunity becomes a reality for her. It's a once in a lifetime for only a blessed few.
Congrats as well to your team. Becky and Casey are ladies I look forward to seeing become even "badder-ass" in the future.

Great picture Mitchell! You did awesome on Friday and Saturday! (Didn't get to see Sunday's WOD's). Kara - I was very impressed with all that you tackled this past weekend! You are an awesome and inspiring athlete! Thank you Josh for your faith in me. I did thruster 135 at the gym but I can't swear that I did it without moving my feet - something to work on I guess. Our boxes definitely need to WOD together more often!
