CrossFit Brisbane Hard 'n' Up games Saturday 8th August 2009

CrossFit Brisbane will be holding their Hard'n'Up games. The event will be open to everyone, and we will be catering for all fitness and ability levels. We are encouraging ALL members of CrossFit Brisbane to be involved, and hope that we will see representation from as many affiliates as possible. Bring a team, it is going to be a fantastic day of competition and camaraderie.

Originally I was going to compete in these games however since stuffing my shoulder I will not!! I could not refund my flights as I chose the tight arse no travel insurance ones so I am now going up and Bow will perform in his first competition taking my place. I will instead be used as a judge and Kerrons second hand man to administor the smelling salts to fire him up and hose down his sick when he has finished. He should be right provided he doesn't drink any coffee before hand! As I leave next Friday the 7th at lunch big red Tom V will be running all the Friday afternoon sessions, Saturday sessions and I'll be back on Sunday maybe just to train myself as I will be so depressed having watched everyone else compete. Feel free to train with me on Sunday at about lunch. I have programmed the session already and I try to stay a month in advance so don't tihnk I programmed super tough one because I won't be there!!!

As CrossFit Ignite Sydney we will be hosting an affiliate gathering on Sunday 6th September from lunchtime till late afternoon with a barbie and beer to follow. As a relatively new affiliate (May 2009) CrossFit Ignite Sydney would like to welcome other CrossFitters to our ‘triangular prism’ (not box) in Surry Hills. We understand that it is Fathers Day on the 6th and that may not be ideal for some, however, it wont be an all day event.

There will be 2 workouts, each will be conducted in a team of two. The first workout will be at CFIS starting at 1300hrs and the second workout in a nearby park with a bbq. Arrive at 1230hrs for a 1300hrs start and we plan to finish at approximately 1700hrs.

CrossFit ‘Fathers Day’ Gathering
darren shaw | September 3, 2009
Its almost here… this Sunday 6th September marks the birth of CrossFit Ignite Sydney with its first affiliate and friends gathering.
We have already had 30 people register and if you haven’t already and still want to be a part of the fun register HERE NOW
Registration will close Friday 4th September at 1600hrs - that’s tomorrow.

For those who have registered please arrive at 1230hrs to complete the waivers. At this point we ask that you contribute $15 and you will receive a CrossFit Ignite Sydney mini water bottle and give you full access to the two workouts, bbq and a sneaky low-carb beer after WOD2. It would be great if you could have the right cash on you. Thanks in advance.

We will also have CFIS t-shirts for sale between WOD1 and 2 for $40 if anyone is interested. Sizes are limited so get in fast.

The workouts will be done in same sex pairs.

WOD1

This will be conducted in the gym.
The structure will be as follows - athlete no. 1 will do 15 pull ups and when they come off the bar the second athlete will do their 15 pull ups and so on till all exercises are complete by both athletes.

15 - 12 - 9 for time
Pull Ups
Thrusters (M: 45kg / F: 30kg)
Burpees
Swings (M: 24kg / F: 16kg)

Scaling is fine. We have bands for pull ups and lighter kettlebells if needed.

WOD2

This will be completed in a local park - Mount Steele (map for 2nd wood)
The structure will be as follows - athlete no. 1 will do the first hill run and on their return tag the the second athlete who will then complete the second hill run then tag athlete no. 1 who will start the push ups and so on… until complete. This is a cumulative team effort.

2 Hill Runs
100 Push Ups
200 Sit Ups
300 Squats
2 Hill Runs

It will probably be easiest for us all to head over to Mt Steele at the Southern End of Moore Park together on foot from Ignite.

Parking is not super easy around Surry Hills so be warned.

[Rob]

Results were decided on lowest cumulative placings. Any tied placings are then decided on cumulative time. Scaling was not taken into account in the results. However, 1st 2nd and 3rd placings in both mens and womens were done fully rx’d.

Congratulations to all who put their hand up to participate for the first time in a competition environment. You will find that your performance will see a surge from this point forward.
