This past weekend Reebok CrossFit 306 sent 16 athletes to compete at the 2015 Bottle on the Border in Llyodminster. 306 would be represented in 5 out of 6 categories competing against 400 athletes from all over the prairies.
On the women side Janelle Waslen and Erin Book competed in what would be both their first competition in the scaled division. They competed hard and finished every WOD with a giant smile. In the women's Rx division we entered three teams : Holly and Kristen, Lisa and Natalie, and Sam and Beth. All teams battled some ups and downs and had to muster huge efforts against some tough opponents. Sam and Beth showed off their power taking 4th and 5th in the strength WODs. Lisa crushed the bench press posting an impressive 14 reps and along with her teammate proved that they had the gymnastic skills to keep up with the best taking 6th in both the MU WOD and the C2B WOD. Kristen and Holly put up steady performances all weekend and displayed their strength in the DL/WB WOD and the Thruster event.
On the men's side Graham and Charlie would enter day three in second place behind Woo and Nick. Unfortunately Charlie would sustain a concussion and would have to pull out leaving Woo and Nick to clean up on the men's scaled side. Nick and Woo would claim an unbelievable 5 first place finishes. On the men's Rx side Joel teamed up with an old friend and they crushed the C2B sprint and the finals finishing second in both those events. Jamie and Mike Rogers posted their best result in the bench press and followed that with numerous top 15 finishes all weekend long.
On the men's Pro side I took on a strong field of regional athletes including two times CF Games athlete Tyson Takasaki. I managed to stay consistent all weekend with only one bad WOD on Friday night and highlighted by two second place finishes in the OHS and hand walk events. I would finish the weekend on the podium with a bonze medal.
Overall we brought 16 athletes, representing 5 out of 6 divisions. In the 5 divisions that we competed in, we qualified for the finals in four out five divisions. After the finals were over we had put three athletes on the podium.
Great work everyone!
Next up our lifters take on the Strength Symposium followed by the CIC in three weeks.
