QUOTE OF THE DAY

GAMES WATCH
WORTH NOTING…The 1RM Snatch event isn’t the first event of the CrossFit Games. We’ve seen this posted a few places the last couple of days so we thought it worth mentioning. The Games event page lists it as the second event on Friday. Dave Castro teased another individual event and whoever correctly guesses it will win a Rogue Castro barbell. WHO’S THAT OVER THERE? That’s Lisa Marquette, the 36-year-old associate chair of Salisbury’s Health and Sports Sciences department, who’s competing at the CrossFit Games. She thought she could sneak away without anyone at Salisbury University noticing. Kari Pearce joins the RockTape team with Bjorgvin Gudmundsson. Jamie Greene practices being a jungle gym ninja.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT… RockTape tells us they’re planning to launch a new product at the CrossFit Games. The only thing they’ve told us is that “soon everyone’s gonna have one in their gym bag.”
CrossFit HQ’s dark horse and rookies to watch for a breakout performance at the Games: 1) Paul Castillo, 2) Tim Paulson, 3) Ricky Garard, 4) Streat Hoerner, 5) Alec Smith — 1) Mekenzie Riley, 2) Kristen Pedri, 3) Chelsey Hughes, 4) Jamie Greene, 5) Bethany Branham.
