Rich Froning Jr. (aka the βFittest Man on EarthβΒ and winner of the 2011 CrossFit Games) at the expo:
Rich Froning competing at the 2012 CrossFit Games just a few feet away:
Rich Froning in person!!!!!
I’m never washing my left hand again!
Rich Froning was super nice in person. He even took the time to ask me my name before we got our photo taken. I think he may have been even more handsome in person, so like a total goober, I told him I was a big fan and that he did a great job competing today. I was so nervous (and awkward)!
Kelly managed to record the whole thingββcheck out her video of Jess and me meeting him. Ahhhh, I met Rich Froning! And touched him!

Umm… Too fun! If I were that fit, I would just flex…all the time. π
I was expecting more of a recap from the games… Will we get that sometime?
Yay! I’m so happy for you! π
Two words: so. jealous.
OMIGOD please tell me you licked his abs.
LOL!
@Brie @ Brie Fit: Hah!!! This comment and totally caught me off guard! Now my coworkers are looking at me strangely lol
That is one fine speciman of man. I love it when the hotties are also so nice! Keep the 6 pack pictures coming!
So cool!!Now you need to meet Chris, Julie, and Annie!
Rumor has it that Chris walked right by us, but I didn’t see him! Mal is obsessed with him (and Julie), so I’m going to have my eyes peeled for them today!
@Tina: Lookin’ forward to more updates! I’ve been stalking your twitter, too;)
Yay! My phone died yesterday, but I’m bringing my charger today, so, hopefully, there will be lots of tweets!
I’m happy to see this because seriously, who wouldn’t think Rich Froning is the hottest man alive?! But will you be blogging more details about the games?? Or are you blogging somewhere else for one of the sponsors that sent you?
Yup. I wouldn’t wash my hand either. Look at those abs! So excited for you!
Yup, he’s pretty easy on the eyes π
So awesome Tina!!
So exciting! π I’m really happy for you!!
That man is amazing, and I would’ve been just as starstruck as you were if I’d met him!!
All I have to say is… Oh. My. God.
oh my gosh, i’m so incredibly jealous. he is beautiful. I’d never wash my arm again either. LOL
OMG you met Rich!!!! Sooo jealous, that’s awesome!!!
Ahhhh Amazing!!!!! You are so lucky! I will kill to be that close just to watch a WOD! Unreal!!! Have an amazing day 2!! Go find Rich again π
You’re so giddy! This made me smile. Have a blast!
Ahh so cool! I just came back from my very first CrossFit class and LOVED it!
You are so fit it’s ridiculous!!
Definitely do not wash your hands every again! Oh la la! π
He may have the nicest abs I have ever laid eyes on!! Not a bad looking guy at all to get to meet in person!! Glad you are having so much fun!!
I’ve been watching the Games online all week/end so far…SO AWESOME. Rich is an amazing human being!
How fun, great pics. And wow on his chest! π
Dang! Is he single? π
No, he’s married. Still fun to look at! π
@Tina: Dang…she’s a lucky lady.
YAY!! SO cool. He is crazy fit. Such an inspiration! π
Daaang! I think I would have to stroke his abs… you’re one lucky girl!
Gah! As we were watching yesterday, I drooled all over myself. Travis just laughed.
Can I just say that your arms are amazing! Did Cross-Fit give you those guns? Very cool.
omgshhh you are here?!!!! like, 4 min. away from me?! haha that’s awesome. And I would be pretty awkward too if I met someone I look up to. π
I am so jealous! Ric Froning is one of my favs. I hope he is the first two time winner of the Crossfit games. Hope you are having a blast and can’t wait for recaps π
I saw the video and you look so happy and adorable. Maybe he asked your name because he thought you were cute. What out Mal;)
You are hilarious!
oh man, I probably wouldn’t have been able to say anything in his buff and beautiful presence!! kudos to you!!
Hahaha. He seemed so sweet getting bombarded by swooning ladies!
Looks like you had so much fun!!! You look absolutely AMAZING!
more than fun to look at and I would have to hold my hand back or I’d start tracing my fingers along his muscles…have fun
I’m so jealous! He seems like such a down to earth guy. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s good-looking, too!
He is so unbelievable. He stole my heart during the handstand push up workout when after finishing, he went back to coach other athletes/his competition. He exemplifies what CrossFit is about.
Wow! He IS very handsome, that must have been so cool to see the winner of last years CrossFit games compete in this years competition. Haha I’ve never met anyone famous, but I know I’d be just as nervous as you and probably turn into a blubbering idiot! That is SO cool though!
