In a former life Jo was a very good power lifter and even now you can tell there is still some raw strength left which will help the team a long way forward when the barbells come up. Make sure you ask her about the lifting records to her name there are some very impressive numbers in there.
Strength is never a weakness as they say and that is certainly the case with Jo. She will help the rest of the team along in that department for sure but her mental strength is also going to help when the longer wods come up. She can push herself hard when need be which will be very important in a two day event.
Jo has showed real quality as a CrossFitter by qualifying for the top 200 masters athletes before, and she is well on her way back there. It will be super exciting to follow her development over the next months as she prepares with the rest of the team.
She will hope for Double Unders to come up for sure as she will have some of the fasters reps in the country:)
Always prepared to throw some banter at whoever is near so will be a great personality to have around for the weekend she will be just as bad as the boys when it comes to locker room chat haha
