Club Championships
If you missed Friday night (sorry guys, you missed the coolest thing we’ve ever done) you have until Tuesday night to make up what you missed.
So the results won’t be final until Tuesday night, but Laura and Caleb have locked up top spots in the Rx divisions, and put out some impressive performances in doing so. The Masters division is still undecided but Grimes is going to need a strong performance to reclaim the top spot. In the scaled divisions it looks as though Chad and Tarah have things under control, but we are still missing some people there as well.
Overall the Club Championships came out just like we wanted. Everyone got an easy chance to experience competition, our community grew in strength and size, and every single person had fun and set some PRs! We couldn’t have asked for more.
A huge thanks to everyone that helped out, especially at the BBQ. We couldn’t have done any of it without you.
A few things that stood out to me. I already knew all of these things, but they have all been reaffirmed over the past few weeks:
– Tammy Rocks.
– If you can get under the bar, you can lift more.
– Consistent attendance creates consistent results. “Amat Victoria Curam”
– Weightlifting Ladders are one of the coolest things in all of sports, but they only exist in CrossFit.
– You need aerobic capacity to win, but without strength you can’t even compete.
I have a longer list but those are the main things that really standout at this point.
