Liz's time, 1:01:42, 20th Place. This put her in 20th place overall and she will be going to San Diego in May for Regionals to compete to be in the finals of the Crossfit Games! This puts her in the top fittest athletes in the World. Yes, I said "World!" Crossfit Games has their competitons in Asia, Europe, S. America, Australia, Iceland, EVERYWHERE. And, Ms. Elizabeth Cameron is one of the best!
This last workout is the reason her hands are the way they are! So, why are we talking about Crossfit on a Salsa blog. Because Crossfit will make your dancing better, I LOVE Crossfit, and I (Summer) am writing this entry, so what I say goes ;)! And Crossfit + Paleo Diet has dropped 13 lbs off of Adrian, making him a better bachata dancer! and we all know... pull ups, hand stand push ups, and squats make ladies better followers! Seriously, ladies get on those pull up bars and push out those sit ups... it will improve the strength in your connection and make you an overall better dancer! Then come to the Lap Dance class for all the sexy feminine movement!!

Wow, Liz....take some time off and let that injury heal. You have earned it. I was always impressed any time I had the good fortune of watching you lift heavy but...dayum. Girl, you put it all out there. That is intensity. You are a beast! Great work.
