Summary

A past podium finisher at three different Regional competitions (NorCal, West, and South), Margaux Alvarez has truly gone the extra mile to punch her six tickets to the CrossFit Games. There was no letting up in 2018, either, as the 33 year-old finished 1st overall at the South Regional to prove she’s still one of the most consistent and respected competitors in the country.

Margaux spent much of her childhood in Montana, where she gained her love for almost any kind of athletic endeavor—from swimming and volleyball to ballet, horseback riding, and Taekwondo. She was turned on to CrossFit while working as a trainer in the Bay Area in 2011 and took to it immediately. Since then, Alvarez has gone on to serve on the CFHQ Seminar Staff, traveling the world as an ambassador for the sport. From her current home base in Las Vegas, she is eagerly training toward a seventh CrossFit Games appearance.

And here is Alex Cardenas's bio on the CrossFit Games site - I get tired really fast after two minutes, then i get dizzy. I think it's genetic. I like to lift weights but that's not helping my running problem. I tried paleo but then ate a cake. I love crossfit because it got me a Margaux........ 5 weeks is a long time.....

0:00.0	Hey everybody. Welcome to the Wodcast Podcast. I am your host Eddie Ift and this is a
0:08.4	extremely special episode because I enjoyed it so much. That why it was special we have a couple great
0:14.0	guests but so much to talk about in such an awesome conversation that just went on and
0:21.0	on and on because it was fun it was enjoyable I could have done
0:25.0	it like put the mics down and just talked forever but we have to stop it at some point. I don't know why but we did. It's a long one. I hope you enjoy these longer episodes and
0:40.1	We've got a lot going on here at the Wodcast podcast, traveling all over the place.
0:46.0	I go to places and I am able to record whatever town I'm in.

1:13.4	friend we had a really good time now they'd come out to my show a couple times
1:18.4	couple shows and we hung out and just really cool people talked a lot about their new winemaking venture.
1:27.0	Margot is a, this is going to sound crazy, she's one of those longest drivers and that's not like she
1:34.6	gets in the car and drives for a long time. She hits a golf ball farther than any
1:38.6	woman. You see how I said farther and not further? A lot of people get that wrong. Farther's distance,
1:45.0	further is like furthermore, but when you're talking about distance it's
1:49.3	farther. My mother always gets me on that. She gets me on lay and lie and when I say like, you know, like Bill and I shall be like Bill and I shall be like Bill and I, she'll be like Bill and I'll say Bill and me. She'll be like it's Bill and I.
2:06.8	My mother is a grammar Nazi.
2:10.6	So anyway, Margot Alvarez, Alex Cardenius, lots of other stuff.
