a spring fling

We were back in Saint John for a couples Cross Fit competition. It was supposed to be my first competition and although the event was called a Fling there was nothing casual or fun about the weights or movements required of all the athletes. So I unfortunately or fortunately had to be replaced a couple weeks ago when the minimum weight requirements were released.  With that said it was a wonderful weekend cheering on Cody and his partner KK (Krista) and Alex my former partner and his new and improved partner Jenn, plus all the other awesome athletes from our gym and from around the Maritimes and Quebec.

It was also a weekend of great energy as people were getting PRs (personal records) all over the place. Cody got a 15 pound PR on his Olympic lift - Clean. I managed to catch the last two seconds of it on film and I'll try to upload it later.

The final standings are yet to be released but we're expecting a top 20 finish for CJ and KK. You guys did so awesome as a team and as always were a pile of fun to watch.

Deadlifting 225# before box jumping.  (21 - 15 - 9)

Terrible shot but this was Cody's self appointed moment on the podium.

The first WOD of the second day - a 300 meter swim. Super fun seeing some serious athletes way out of their comfort zone.

A shot of the crowd.

 300 meters done in a time of 4:53.

Julie and Alex looking a little tuckered out.

Saint John you are a good looking, cool city and we enjoyed you, your food and hospitality very much. Cheers until next time.
