CrossFit Games Regional Highlights - Day Two

Day Two Highlights from the Regional Competitions for CrossFit are posted on the CrossFitHQ YouTube account.  If you haven't watched them you...you should, they're intense.  I am amazed at the sheer strength and competitiveness that exists.  I hope that one of these are close to me next year so I can be there in person to watch.

Again, there are a lot more videos posted of Regionals, however this is my favorite one from Day Two.  The end of this video is awesome!  Great competitive spirit.

CrossFit Games | Talk about an Active Community

By profession, I'm an internet marketer.  Social media, search engines and trend lines drive me.  One of the things that I've admired about the CrossFit community is just that.  The community.  I would love to see the analytics on CrossFit.com.  One of the things that motivates me, is watching and reading about the CrossFit Games.  The site is full of articles and videos of inspiring athletes and inspiring physical accomplishments.

I think that CrossFit is an amazing case study in social media and online communities.  The CrossFit games is a great example of how the community works and comes together.  Check out this video for an explanation of what I'm talking about.

I think it would be awesome to be able to compete in these one day (not that I ever could or will).  I admire all who do.
