How the Athletes Recover After the CrossFit Games

I must say, this time of R&R has been necessary. Being away from serious fitness and getting outside into gorgeous nature like this isn’t something that happens often. Enjoyed every minute…tryna stay #swoleandflexy tho… #ilovesaddlepose #romwod #vacay #iloveithere #laketahoe #losingallthegainz #butitsokay #postgameslife #sadhoteltowel #beachlife #lakeliving #fitgirls #girlswholift #crossfit @romwod
