I went to my first Crossfit tournament this weekend.
The leading sports supply store in Iceland called www.sportvörur.is , great friends of mine and also my sponsor, hired me to take photos for them. They had a huge booth with everything you could imagine. They also had the vast majority of bikes, rowers and other equipment used at the competition.
I have never been much of a Crossfit fan, nothing against it, but just been distant from me. I have so many friends that compete at high levels and others that train avidly. It was only logical I took this job with open arms. I was hired for 4 hours on day 2 of the comp, from 10 AM-2PM. I stayed until 6 PM, I couldn’t leave. The amount of athleticism was beyond what I could have imagined. The last event was a head to head battle between Annie Mist Þórisdóttir and Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir, and it was epic. The awesome production company owned by a personal friend, “Maurar” made a mind blowing montage before the event, about “Dóttir”. It shows how strong our beautiful Icelandic women are. You can see that on RCC’s Facebook page.

I even went so far that I came back on day 3, not working, just out of pure interest. I took a secondary camera just so I could get a few extra photos. I saw the mens final. Saw my main man Björgvin Karl Guðmundsson take first place, and that was epic. Also a dude that I think is a straight up fucking savage, and took over all second place, and a ticket to the games, Hinrik Ingi Óskarsson. Both Icelandic, both savages. It was awesome. Lets finish my first blog with a little photo montage here below. Thank you ! hope you like it !
