This year will be my 9th crossfitgames Open! Time flies! In honor of this momentous occasion I took a stroll down memory lane that I wanted to share with you. Enjoy! Vid 1: baby Vellner doing the 2013 open at the McGill University gym after about 1 month of informal CrossFit with friends. Vid 2: an older and thicker vellner finishing the last workout of the 2020 open to win it. Decisive proof that being fitter does not make this easier 😂 Vids 3: me: 🤬, I think I’m actually dying; everyone else: “we thought maybe you’d be better” Vid 4: violently ill and contemplating holidays. This could be you!!! 😂 Remember we all start somewhere and you never know where your fitness journey will take you! If you’re on the fence just sign up for the open and give it a shot this year. I’ll see you on the leaderboard! #postworkoutcomplaining #brentwaspumped #intheopen #signup #fitness #hellodarknessmyoldfriend #reebok #babyvellner #crossfit #crossfitgames #behindthescenes
