Last year, law school student Gretchen Kittelberger took 12th place in the CrossFit Games. 

This year, she faced tests in more than fitness. Everything from the bar exam to handling the pressure of being a Games veteran. 

In this video, Kittelberger talks about her mindset at Regionals and her ideal mindset at the Games. She also talks about how she's preparing for the brutal tests that lie ahead.

The tests may be unknown, but the general format isn't. Kittelberger knows she'll face several events Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. She has decided to prepare her body by mimicking the competition in her training. She hits several WODs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and goes lighter during the week.
