3..2..1.. The 2015 CrossFit Games to Start in Hermosa Beach, California

Come late July four words come to mind: SUN’S OUT GUNS OUT.

Event 1 of the 2015 CrossFit Games will start in the sand for the teams and individuals. We all know by now to expect some sort of swimming event during the weekend and Castro gives it to them again on the first day of competition.  Individuals will then continue onto the tennis courts, like last year, to take on event 2.

2014 CrossFit Games “The Beach” Event Facts:

• The Australian teams dominated the leaderboard last year after event 1. All 3 affiliates placed in the top 10 and CF Athletic took home the event win.
• Kara Webb snagged 3rd place at the beach
• 7 out of 9 Aussie affiliates or athletes placed in the top 10 after event 1 in 2014
• 2014 champ, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet placed 6th
• Jordan Troyan, who took 1st in the mens individual in 2014’s “The Beach” and 1st in “The Pool” in 2013, failed to qualify for the games this year. Josh Bridges, who also missed out on the 2015 Games, took 3rd place at the beach.
