Semifinals Spotlight - Christopher Walden ✨

1) What inspired you to start training CrossFit and when did you start at Invictus?

I transitioned to CrossFit after years of running marathons and competing in Ironman triathlons. Over time, the repetitive training led to multiple disc bulges, and I knew I needed a sport that challenged me without the constant overuse. CrossFit gave me a chance to start fresh, learn new skills, and build strength in a more balanced way. I had always been familiar with Invictus, but I spent my first five years at another gym learning the fundamentals. I eventually made the switch when my longtime friend, Nuno Costa, returned to join the Invictus coaching staff.

2) What’s your favorite workout or movement and why?

Anything with an 800 meter run paired with a barbell. It lets me tap into my endurance background while also putting all the strength I have built to work.

3) How do you celebrate your achievements, big or small?

The answer is always pizza. Always.

4) What are you most excited about as you head into semifinals?

This will be my first in person semifinals, Legends, and I am genuinely excited just to be out on the floor. I tend to perform better in person, so I am looking forward to seeing how my training shows up when it counts.

5) Who has been your biggest supporter or influence in your CrossFit journey?

Definitely Nuno Costa. We have been close friends for over 15 years. I went down the Ironman path while he went deep into CrossFit, and throughout that time he has inspired me, coached me, educated me, and mentored me. He has been a constant in my athletic journey.
