CrossFitters are very versatile, let’s put it that way. Elite CrossFitters are definitely some of the most fit people on the planet, regardless of your definition of “fit.” But in general, a CrossFit athlete, even a very good one, won’t perform better than a specialist in that specialist’s sport. For instance, an experienced CrossFitter could perform a triathlon and finish with pretty good time—but they’re not going to beat triathletes who have spent years training for that specific event. It’s all about what “fit” means to you.
