CARSON, Calif. - Entering the 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games, Colleen Fahey didn't have too far to climb to reach the top of her age group.
After the first competition of the games, she has even less distance to make up.
Entering the week ranked 5th in the Masters Women 50-54 year-old group, Fahey finished the first workout of the games in second place.
Fahey and her competition went through a Tuesday morning workout called "Nancy", where they raced through five rounds of a 400-meter run followed by 15 overhead squats with 65 pounds of resistance.
The group will continue workouts through Thursday before a champion is crowned.
