James "OPT" Fitzgerald won the inaugural CrossFit Games in 2007. In 2008, he finished in 12th place. Last year, he finished in 16th. Needless to say, the guy knows what he's doing. To place in the top-20 three consecutive years in the CrossFit Games is no joke. Granted, it's only been around for three years, but nevertheless, OPT can perform for sure. Not only is he an excellent athlete, but he's also a brilliant trainer as well. In the below video, he discusses his gym's motto: "Get comfortable with uncomfortable." This may be of benefit to those of you competing this weekend...

For now, I'm going to keep it brief and just provide the below video. It's the trailer for Sisu, a documentary about Mikko Salo, the 2009 CrossFit Games Champion and rumored cyborg. Enjoy...
