Just as Mat Fraser was moving to Cookeville, Tennessee, Sara Sigmundsdottir was leaving to head to California, making her the next CrossFit Games athlete to switch regions. Last year, Sigmundsdottir moved to Tennessee to train with Games champion Rich Froning at CrossFit Mayhem; she’d actually planned on going west sooner (for the 2017 season) but it never happened. Now, in her third move in the last few years, Sigmundsdottir can officially call herself a Californian.

And apparently, the process of getting to her new home wasn’t too smooth. In an Instagram post, Sigmundsdottir shared the crazy story about how she just barely made her flight.

Ok. Today was a classic Sara day ?????????? Where do I even start…. . So I started here in Cookeville picking up some of my stuff before heading on to my big trip and finally seeing my family at Crossfit Mayhem. It´s been so great to be there ?? . So here IT goes: . My friend picked up all my stuff that I had packed to have it delivered via cargo truck to California aka @kylieruth That all went smoothly so I decided to train a little before leaving for the airport. The training was so good that I decided to delay the cab so that I could finish my workout. The cab was then way late so we needed to get to the airport in a hurry. Once I was sat in there I realised that I had packed my passport with the stuff I was sending in the cargo truck. I managed to reach my friend and she told the address of the warehouse where the stuff was being loaded. It took us a while to find it since I spelled the address wrong in the mapps app. We eventually managed to find it, get the passport and get to the airport. The airplane was still there so there was still a chance, but then my bags were stopped since they were WAY over the weight limit. I needed to repack everything in front of the register but I managed to make that work and then it was for the long run through the terminal to try to get to the plane ? . A crazy, crazy day and I am EXHAUSTED… but I made it!!! ?? . California. Here I come! Tennessee, thank you for everything. I´m going to miss you ? . . #Crossfit #California #Tennessee #Cookeville #CrossfitMayhem #Friends #Family #Whydoesalwayslikethishappentome #ATypicalDayForMe #ButIMadeIt
