7000' stronger

CrossFit Flagstaff, Arizona, is probably the closest affilitate to the Grand Canyon and situated at around 7.000 feet (2,134m) above sea level. This means that the oxygen content in the air is smaller than in Cape Town, for instance: The oxygen content in the air is about 78% of what it is a sea level. Can you image what that means for your average CrossFit workout? If you had to do Fight Gone Bad at 7.000 feet elevation, how much more often would you have to breathe during the work out to get the same score? Would it be possible at all without aclimatization? If you want to hold you own at CrossFit Flagstaff, you need to be 7.000 feet stronger... As a CrossFitter, you want to be prepared for everything, under any condition. 100 burpees for time on top of Table Mountain anyone?
