It’s hard to remember even the elite were once novices. While these days, athletes who take the floor at the CrossFit Games tend to make it look easy, we don’t always see what’s been going on behind the scenes for the last several years — the blood, sweat, tears, the misses, the failures. It happens to all of us. Even the best. Even Margaux Alvarez. She’s made it to the Games multiple times; but back in 2012, she was still working on getting a muscle-up. Alvarez recently posted this epic throwback video. Yes, it’s a bit blurry — but still totally relatable.
