INJURY for Alexander Anasagasti Roman

“I did not know if it would be possible for me to compete this weekend.” • A month before the #MeridianRegional the Basque athlete had a hip injury, which forced him to change his training and focus on rehabilitation. • “I come to give the best of me. I’m better, and I want to show that I enjoy being here. ”

“No sabía si iba a ser posible para mí competir este fin de semana.” • Un mes antes del #MeridianRegional el atleta vasco tuvo una lesión en la cadera, lo que le obligó a cambiar su entrenamiento y enfocarse en rehabilitarse. • “Vengo a dar lo mejor de mí. Estoy mejor, y quiero demostrar que disfruto estar aquí.” @mr_weak7 • @iko_pb #MeridianRegional | @crossfitespana | @fitaid
