Now this is the guy I aspire my conditioning to be like. He's won tons of local and regional competitions, and he's currently in France trying to qualify for the World Cross-Fit games.
I just got a text yesterday that he actually won one of his events after already placing top 5 in a few others.
This guy has a "motor" like anyone I've ever seen when it comes to cardio and conditioning. He just doesn't know the word "can't"!
Fingers crossed, but if he keeps going like he is we may get to see him at the World Games.
Just figured I would put it out there. His name is Josh Miller.

That’s awesome Rmtt, I will definitely keep a eye out for him. There were a few of us talking more CrossFit stuff early in this thread.
I competed also, but as a Masters Athlete (40-44). I never made it past the World Wide online qualification tho. But just to make it that far I was happy. This was a few years back before my shoulder injury and my son being born. I didn’t want to get surgery and just did not have the time to train to prepare for competitions anymore. Mainly it was my shoulder. I enjoyed competing but more so the preparation.
As you mentioned your “Motor” needs to be ridiculous. That is what I spent most time on. The Olympic lifts were a close second. Then gymnastic stuff.
CrossFit has changed ALOT since I started it back in 2009. But that’s what CrossFit is variation and change. I still do a lot of the workouts and movements, but nothing that will risk further injury on my shoulder. The powerlifting suits me well along with the functional stuff.
Glad to hear you dabble with CrossFit, it absolutely helps us older guys when done safely and correctly.
