What does The Fittest Man on Earth do after earning the title? Two words – absolutely. nothing.
Well, comparatively, 2016 CrossFit Games champion, Mat Fraser has been spending quality time with the boys and his girlfriend after sacrificing them in the lead up to the title. We’ll give him that. He notched a record breaking win, leading his rivals by 197 points. No one, literally, no one could come close to catching him.
Fraser indulged in a boys-only, four-day motorcycle trip to Yosemite National Park and spent some time with his girl.
“My girlfriend and I went up to my family camp — no cell phone, no internet, no nothing. Just sat on a dock and drank coffee for two weeks. It was nice,” said Fraser.
The 26 year old plans to analyse his win and improve himself even further.
“I kinda went through each workout from the Games, regionals, and looked at what events gave me trouble, why they gave me trouble,” he said.
“Was it a specific movement? Was it a specific stimulus? Once those are identified, what needs to get better, was it my positioning, my mentality going into it?”
A busy few months loom before Fraser gets back to the full-scale training program he employed for his first win. Promotional appearances, coaching stopovers and a competition will take him to Chile, Brazil, Australia, Dubai, Switzerland and Italy — all before December.
