Coach Joe's NorCal Regional Review (Part 1):

If you haven't had the chance to checkout Coach Joe's blog: Barbells and Babies, now is the perfect time! He took a moment to write about his experience at the NorCal Regional this past weekend. It is an awesome write-up straight from the heart! Here's a little excerpt from his write-up:

Facts are that 90% of crossfitters will never get to compete on a stage like the one Crossfit 808 was fortunate enough to compete on this past weekend.  Fact #2; more non-competitive members from Crossfit 808 jumped on a plane, crossed the pacific, and supported the team than did some crossfitters from gyms in the Northern California area.  Around January I wrote down some personal goals.  One of which was to snatch 225 pounds.  If you followed the games you know that I hit a PR this weekend by Snatching 255, well above what I thought would be a life time achievement (which is now currently set at a plump 275).  What the videos and pics floating around don’t show is what I saw as I stepped up to the 245 and 255 platforms.  There was a sea of neon pink shirts and the sounds of friends and family, not to mention Jeff King’s voice screaming to be epic.  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I could throw that kind of weight over my head in one movement.  Currently there is no doubt in my mind that if the 265 platform was situated in front of the 808 fans I’d have punched a bigger whole in the sky and stood tall once more.  Facts are that as a team we leaned on those present for support.  Thanks for the cheers, the rock sauce, the aloe, the help with Mason, the pictures, the pats on the back, and just for being there.  The next step in our Journey will only be as sweet if you provide the same back drop.  Thank you Crossfit 808 for believing in us.  

This is only the beginning of my NorCal Review.  If you like this post share it. We need to drum up support for the Games and it starts with celebrating this past weekends accomplishments.  Lets all make sure we keep this momentum going and ensure that we hit Carson running and give ourselves the best possible chance to compete and leave with no regrets.
