competing at the CrossFit Games? The gems were televised on ESPN2. Each exercise had a judge watching to make sure the event was performed flawlessly. Buzzz - two more hand stand push ups. Rick Froning, Jr. exercised his way into a $250,000 winners prize beating around 6,000 intitial competitors. Both men and women competed and were their some nice physics - WOW. Ummm techniques.

Drum roll please. The fittest woman in the world is Annie Thorisdottir from Iceland. I don't know if she got the same amount of money. www.gamescrossfit.com has some video of her. It's too late to enter the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games but there is always next year! Hold the applause. I cannot enter as my PB is doing some sort of exercise every day.

I watched part of that. One segment had Annie (and others) squatting 155lbs below-parallel, then cycling, then doing 100ft (or yards?) of monkey bars. I couldn't get past the squats. ETA: DH and I misunderstood her name for the longest time. Every time the announcer said it we thought we heard "Thor's daughter." It seemed appropriate given her strength.
