With the first week of the CrossFit Team Series almost coming to an end (get those scores in by 5:00 p.m. PT on Monday, September 25th!), participating athletes have been sharing their experiences completing the events with their partners — once again proving anyone and everyone can participate in the sport that’s changed fitness. Even Dave Castro got in on the action with some scaled workouts, with the help of his partner, Abby.

Then there’s this mother-daughter team and their pre-event high-fives.

Not everyone is concerned with the competition aspect of the Team Series. For many of us, it’s a way to have fun, get moving and spend time with someone special and in a community we love so much. That’s the true CrossFit spirit. Most of us will never go to the Games, and that’s okay; but being included always feels good.

CrossFit has been keeping an especially close eye on partners Josh Bridges and Dan Bailey, who completed all four events today — which is about the equivalent of what the rest of us do in an entire week. But what else could we expect from these two CrossFit champs?

With the deadline to get scores in still a couple days away, remember that you can still sign up, if you’re reconsidering competing last-minute. Grab a friend and a judge and tackle those four events. Even if your score doesn’t matter, competing brings a whole new energy to your training, and it’s something everyone should experience at least once in their life!
