    Coming from a high school and college sports background, Sarah’s competitive nature fits in well with CrossFit’s prescription of intensity. Having spent years in the old Globo Gym routine of cardio and abs, Sarah found CrossFit in late 2007. Sarah has competed in CrossFit events since 2008 and has consistently placed in the top 10 female competitors in Northern California.
