This will also be an excellent opportunity to meet Ido and Odelia. I also really encourage new Flux members to come out and meet some of your fellow Flux athletes.

The party will start at 7pm and end at midnight (we have the handbalancing workshop the next morning so we need rest)!

Regionals Day #3

Darci and I went back to the Thunderbird Stadium on Sunday to cheer on the finalists including Synergy's and CrossFit Regina's teams and Synergy's Matt Bathgate who made it to the Men's final.

Unfortunately the list of top 14 athletes in the individuals competition was based on the first 4 wods, which meant that not all of the competitors got to go on to compete in the last two wods. This meant that our fearless leader did not get to showcase her muscle ups or her speedy snatch. I found this portion of the competition especially frustrating considering 5 of the women in the top 14 didn't get a muscle up and ended up being disqualified. That being said we saw some absolutely awesome kipping muscle ups (see the video below) and some that were not nearly so nice.

Overall the competition over the whole weekend was fierce and inspiring to watch!

Congratulations again to all of the Saskatchewan athletes and teams who competed!

And to Darci, we're so proud of you!
