flux CrossFit performs well at the Saskatchewan CrossFit Challenge



What a weekend for flux! Tremendous performances by each athlete and so much heart! I came back to Regina completely invigorated and ready to get to work.

The fluxers were lucky enough to have a rowdy gang of supporters that were there from the early morning to the very end. I know the cheering helped me get in a few extra kettlebell swings and snatches.

Helen and Courteney came in first and second respectively in Division Three. They even lapped the men on the sandbag run. Almost everyone PR'd on their presses. Ted gave a strip tease during his burpees. Debbie came in fourth in the third event. She devoured the sdhp and the kb swings! Don muscled up a PR with a static press! Jane came in 6th in division two. She placed third in the first event, 5th in the second and 11th in the third. Rochelle and Charity both PR'd on their push jerk, tying for 7th place in the second workout. Rochelle gets bonus points for keeping a smile on her face throughout each event. Points for style as well! Charity rocked the swings and the sdhp. Impeccable form by all fluxers. Ryan killed the first workout. He came back from the 800m run in second place and pounded out over 30 sandbag thrusters in a row. Ryan handled the 70lb kb with grace. And me, well, I managed to make it into the top 5 for division one, earning a spot in the 4th workout.

Post flux commentary over dinner proved to be most entertaining, accompanied by riotous laughter and witty insight. Congratulations to all athletes and a big thank you to all of the supporters - Theresa, Joan, Traci, Cory, Ariane, Jacinta, Verne, Crystal, Neil, Karen and Chris.
