Is anyone watching? I WFH, and it's Friday, so let's be real, basically today I am going to do a lot more watching than I do working. So far it looks like the heat is getting to people, there has been a fair amount of cramping in both the team and the individual endurance events from the morning.
There were competitors falling into the sand. It was crazy. Kelli (my cousin) said she had every emotion ever out there. It was a very emotional event.
I forgot your cousin was competing! That's awesome, good luck to her. Who were you thinking would be on top for the women at this stage?
Julie. Definitely.
And not Kara Webb, whoever she is lol.
Oh, I've heard of Kara Webb before. Couldn't tell you why exactly, just I do know that name as a top female Crossfitter I had thought Alessandra Pichelli would be higher up after a strength event and one involving rowing, and I had thought Talayna would be up there too (although I guess she's injured?). Annie of course is another who's lower than I would expect, but I guess there are still plenty of events to go.
Why did Kara Webb withdraw? Anyone know? I mean, seems bad form to withdraw without reason after a bad finish like in the last event - must be injury.
She was holding her lower back in the last event, so I'm thinking she maybe pulled something? She definitely looked like she was in physical pain and not just struggling with the workout.
I want to like her but I've heard she's not the nicest person.
Oh, interesting. She seems sweet/grateful/down to earth on her Instagram - and not just because she messes up her English, haha - but obviously that could be a cultivated image. Whatever, I'm happy for her!
