The final placings have come in and the Top 8 teams going to the Crossfit Games Affiliate Cup 2010 have been secured. Going into the final workout - Crossfit Balboa had the 11th place overall needing to overtake 3 teams to make it into the top 8 out of the 84 registered teams. With an
impressive 7:07 finish in the last workout, my team and I took it to the next level and worked hard to finish 3rd in our heat and take the final overall spot to secure our spots in the Crossfit Games 2010!!!
Here's how Kate, Ben, Ryan and I spent our Mother's day...
- Carry 185 lb log in unision with a teammate(s) flipping a tractor tire the length of a football field.
- Once at the end, all 4 members of the team must then get under the log remain touching the log at all times while the group performs 40 below parallel squats.
- Once squats are counted - (20 )185lb team log presses begin. Up and over each person's head touching everyone's shoulder before it's counted.
- After completed, team must have teammates carry log back to start (100yds) while other teammates flip tire.
Needless to say, this last workout was brutal. Not to mention the rough distribution of the weight of the log with the very different heights on the team. But our guys were strong very very strong. Ben and Ryan made up some serious time on the tire flips taking turns flipping at first and then doing it as a team to finish of. Quite a team challenge of communication and strength. Without a voice trying to tell my team to wait, didn't quite workout out so well...haha. But nevertheless we hung tight and finished amazing ourselves with the team that was developed in just a short 2 weeks.
The Crossfit Affiliate Cup was one of the most memorable experiences for me. The team pulled together for every challenge and pushed each other to keep going, keep driving, move quicker than we thought we could.
We carried the Crossfit Balboa flag high and showed that we condition ourselves day in and day out to be the best.
