    Saturday was one of the hardest days of my athletic career.  My body was rebelling, my heart was aching and my mind was confused.

      Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Jenny. Injuries are one of the hardest things about being an athlete, I think. You gave it everything you had. Full effort. Full victory.

      Jenny, I cried for you then, and now your poignant recall brings tears again! You are my champion, my hero! How many athletes have pushed themselves so far for so long? You gave your all to the very point of near destruction. No one could doubt your strong will and determination in the face of pain and exhaustion. Your family and friends are so
      proud of you, your multitude of accomplishments and all that you stand for - a true inspiration! We are just blessed to know and love you! You will be back!!!

      Jenny,

      This struggle and perseverance of yours confirms to me what I already knew: you are a warrior, and such a wonderful spirit.

      "In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail."

      But you did not even fail, you did so much more... Can't wait to see what fire you bring to the next one. Keep rocking you!

      Jenny, this brought tears to my eyes. Your writing really brings the story to life.
      As an athlete myself I can understand how hard it would have been to make the final decision. But just know that the entire world is looking up to you. I respect you even more as an athlete for your strength in pulling through as far as you did and for listening to your body and finally knowing when to stop. You are a champion in ever aspect of the word and an outstanding role model in the CrossFit community. Thank you for being you! I am honored to have met you.

    One day down, three to go.  The second day of The Games felt like it was the first, despite some sore quads.  The events were now at the Home Depot Center, the stands were filled with screaming spectators and the excitement was contagious.  Every emotion you could think of was pulsing through the veins of the athletes...but now was our time to show everyone what we had worked so hard for.

    Day two of The Reebok CrossFit Games provided for more equipment, more scares and a little splashing around in the ocean.  It actually ended up being a day to get to know some of the athletes a bit better and have a little fun.  It felt like more of a play day and took some of the stress away from what was about to go down.
