Former CrossFit Competitors Look Back: The CrossFit Open, Being a Games Athlete, and Community

Alex and Meredith look back on their time as CrossFit competitors, after discussing the pros and cons of living in a small town versus a big city. Taking us all the way back to 2012 before CrossFit became the global fitness sensation that it is, they touch on the changes in the sport over the years. They also share their experience in the CrossFit Open, competing in the Quarterfinals as a game athlete and in team events, and why community was a huge reason behind their departure from the competitive realm of the sport. Listen in to their story as ex-competitive CrossFit athletes, learn what the sport meant for them, and how they channel their competitive spirits now. — Living in a Big City vs. Small Town (Calgary vs. Fernie) — Game Nights — Alex and Meredith's Fitness Background — Competing in the CrossFit Open — Being a Games Athlete — Team Events — The CrossFit Quarterfinals — Affiliate GPP Programming vs. CrossFit the Sport — Loss of Community + Leaving Crossfit — Finding Your Reason to Compete — Exercising in the Wake of Grief — Working in Law + Research and Development — The Importance of Academics Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Carolyne Prevost Mal O’Brien Netflix's Full Swing Netflix's Home Game Brooks Koepka ──────────────────────────── Want to work with Tactic Functional Nutrition?
