CrossFit Beast Mode

So, my first Crossfit competition is in the books, and it was great!

I competed in Banjo Beatdown, put on by Life AsRX (which is a great company!) It was in Melbourne, FL. It was an amazing time with all my crossfit teammates cheering everyone on and overcoming our fears and many obstacles.

This competition was by no means an easy one! There were heavy weights, pullups (probably my least favorite thing currently) but all in all, it was a great experience and I am hooked! I placed 23 out of 50 awesome girls, and I am super proud of myself and my teammates! Less than a month to the next one, Clash of the Fittest!

So, this is a topic that I am pretty passionate about... I think I speak for many when I say that finding a good pair of wod pants or shorts is hard at times because of all the different moves CrossFit entails. Shape, price, and wear are all factors that I have taken into account here. After trying endless amount of brands of pants and shorts, here my list of top 5:

1) WOD Gear quilted capris -these by far are number one in my book. They not only provide great coverage for squats and rope climbs, but they dry super fast and do not stretch out no matter how many times you wear them or wash them. They also give you a great silhouette - pretty much my favorite piece of WOD clothing!!!

2) Life As RX capris - these are a close second. They are super stretchy, ultra durable and breathable, and another great all around selection. I just wish the top band was a little wider.

3) Life as RX booty shorts - these are a great short! They dont ride up or down and I tested this on a rigorous beach wod! They are simply and amazing short for girls that have a booty.

4) LuLuLemon Fast and Free Crop - these are good, but they are a more spandex material, which can hold onto sweat longer than some of the more cotton versions above. They still provide great coverage and move great with you during a wod. They have a great waistband and side pockets, which are always great for a run. These are the most pricey of all the pants that are listed here, but are definitely worth it.

Ok, here goes nothing!!!
