The SMCF team did exceptionally well in the Qualifiers, sending 2 girls and 8 guys to the finals (including Dennis) and even though nobody placed in the Championship, everybody gave it all they had.
Every time I've played the supportive role to Dennis or to any Crossfitter friend, I've always felt so envious of those competing in these types of competitions. I have no problem doing the Open every year, knowing very well that I will not (nor ever) qualify to regional's and even though I do feel slight anxiety with my running races, I've never had the "guts" (no pun intended) to do a Crossfit competition.
I hope, someday, I muster up the confidence to put myself out there as these athletes do and see how I rank. Until then, I will reap the benefits of being a spectator:
1. Nicks Sticks: These sticks of Beef or Turkey are really good. They were a sponsor at Superfit and lucky for me, wanted to unload all their samples at the end of the competition. They are a perfect protein snack, at about 2 ounces per package, are easy for Zone Blocks / Paleo eating. Once I run out of free samples, I may have to place and order and they have subscription delivery so you can have then delivered to your door on a monthly basis!
2. Phase III Recovery: I've always had an issue finding a protein shake that tastes good. I had good luck with Arbonne's Chocolate Protein (YUM) and even though it seems expensive, I was able to get it at a discount. At SuperFit, Phase III Recovery was handing out their newest product and it. is. amazing. The only issue? Way too expensive to buy. Once my stash that I was able to get runs out, I will not be buying this unless the price comes down, which is a shame because it is like drinking a delicious chocolate drink.
and for the final/best benefit of being at the SuperFit 2013:

In all seriousness, congrats to all that participated from SMCF!
