This past weekend my team and co-coaches at Crossfit Asheville and I participated in a garage games team comp here in Asheville (4 of us). The first one ever to be hosted in town. We did great all day and did 3 events and technically were ranked #3 going into the Championship event (top 8 advanced) but there was a scoring mistake which placed us in 14th!!? We found all this out after the championship event and were really disappointed. We talked to the organizer and he felt REALLY bad. He gave us a chance to do the wod and compare out times to the 1st,2nd,and 3rd place times but by then we had lost out steam, were cooled down, the weights were being packed up and the spectators were leaving so we decided not to do it. Really disappointing because our team had been training together since Dec '12 and we were crushing it all day. We were the hometown favorite, about 30-40 members from our gym had come out to watch and support. Our learning in the end was that because we were all dumbfounded when we were not called in the top 8 , was that we should have said something sooner to the organizers. Oh well. We also felt validated in realizing we didn't suck as bad as we thought we did when they read out the "top 8" teams and we were absent. Live and learn, onward!
