This past weekend Coach Jamie competed in one the pacific northwest’s most daunting CrossFit competitions, The Cascade Classic.  The competition required you to qualify through a series of online WODs, weeks earlier.  Qualifying for the elite division, Jamie new that the competition would be fierce and those who she’d be up against would be converging on Seattle from all over the region.  With many changes in the CrossFit Games coming out this season, its competitions like this one will provide the sports top athletes a path to the Games.

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen Jamie at the gym smoking house WODs and adding in 2 or 3 more workouts on a daily basis.  Her determination and discipline paved the way for an awesome performance.  In speaking with her before the comp, Jamie was Jamie, and responded with humble words like “this will be fun” and “I’m not 100% ready”, of course when the workout’s started Jamie was Jamie again and crushed it!

With a second place overall elite individual performance, I couldn’t be more proud of Jamie and her performance.  She is someone who we can all learn from and I am glad we have her as part of our team.  If you see Jamie in the box, lets show her some love!  Welcome back, Jamie!!
