Have decided to split the recap of Nationals into 2 Parts as that will make for easier reading in shorter blog posts and without cutting too many good bits out. First impressions are the level of competition were a lot higher this year. Heaps of good younger CrossFitters are coming through now which is awesome to see. The Events were really well thought out and very spectator friendly. They were a lot harder than last year but that was only to be expected. One thing is for sure, the winners had to be well rounded athletes because the competition had everything in it. Even if the main endurance event got scratched due to admin failures.
This first part is about our Intermediate Team: The gym wanted to send as many of last years competitors as possible so they were asked first and the ones who were able to go put their hand up. We ended up with a strong and cohesive team and they did an awesome job. One thing that stood out was their teamwork. They really worked well together and they all went above and beyond for their teammates. They finished up in 41st which is far from what the goal was, but everything considered they worked their arses off in every event and that is all you can ask for. You can see the videos on Facebook of all the highlights from the comp. Everything that happened in them, I could mention on here. Im sure all the Intermediate team members will tell you all about the intern jokes that were created and all the PR’s they achieved. Well done to Connie, Mark, Jack, Rach, Shez & Megan you did and amazing job.
