More to come on this but we had an awesome time this weekend in Victoria and I was so proud of everyone's performance in the three events. Final placing to come but here were a few highlights.
Kioks finishing 2nd in the second WOD for advance males and started the WOD with a 5:05 mile. I believe "B" won the intermediate class 2nd WOD. I finished 2nd in the first workout for advance males. There was many other great moments and all those involved please leave a comment with your thoughts on the weekend and if you would like to do stuff like this in the future (judging by the party we through down on Saturday night I think it will be a resounding yes). In honor of the great effort done yesterday I would like the gym to tackle one of these workouts tomorrow. If you competed this weekend and feel the urge to come in the gym, I will have seperate programming for you.
TECH:
Sumo Deadlift 5x3
WOD:
"CrossFit Winter Challenge WOD 2"
1 mile run *
30 box jumps
30 burpees
30 wallballs
30 GHD Situps
* Please bring warm running gear for the run. If you didn't bring any than you may row 1700 meters as a sub. I would prefer everyone to run however. Also I will take this time and say that it is your responsibility to bring outside weather gear to the gym each day if you see a run in programming.

Great Trip! Had a blast, cannot wait for the next competition! I think we all accomplished a lot. I think as a group we pushed through mental and physical limits! Silly Car preventing the 5 minute mile. I loved the whole trip. I am proud to say I got my first Double unders. Proud of Annie's ring dips! All in all a great job. Highlight was really the team spirit. Thank you for the cheerleading! Props to Bombshell, Pej, Garth and Katie aka Animal for making the trip to cheer us all on.
ReplyDeleteChris, excellent work in the WODs on Saturday. I didn't get to see it (was extremely concerned with 135 OHS at the time!) but you killed that first workout and were already chilling with a drink by the time I finished. Looks like the rest of your crew did well too, great experience all round. If you guys are open over Christmas I'll have to stop in for a WOD when I'm in Vancouver!!

Thanks Cam. Hey our kids had an awesome time and I thought the event as a whole was great. Really wish I was healthy and could have finished that last workout but what can you do. We are open over the holidays and would love to have ya for a workout. Fire me an email when you are in town. chris@crossfitlions.com
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm sad no one mentioned my fabulous outfits! lol
ReplyDeleteSeriously it was so much fun and I cannot wait to do it again, you will find me in the gym tonight stretching and working on my double unders!
Annie :)
Annie, your outfits were FABulous! next time can you get us all matching lulus to wear so we can win team spirit award and most importantly best dressed! such a fun weekend :)
ReplyDeleteB
God i miss you guys already !!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of everyone who competed,and a special thank you to our awesome cheerleaders, we have an AMAZING team.
Chris, cant thank you enough for the programming you put together for us, your coaching and support always.
and lastly, Im pumped for 430 today... were going HARD ladies ...hahah Im joking (but not really)
Robyn :)
Thanks hilarious. Garth said this morning that you know Robyn is going to be in here today working out right? I said, "you bet your ass she will".
ReplyDeleteFor those really looking to perform well at events such as these, we will need to customize the programing a little bit to make sure we maximize our time and recovery.
Talk to me if you are wanting to do that. CrossFit Games sectional qualifying starts in Feb-Mar so no time to lose.
I want to do that!! I can make you a list of my 100 weaknesses and tell me what to do coach and I'm there!
ReplyDeleteAnnie :)
What a fantastic weekend!! I had a blast and can't wait to do it again!
ReplyDeleteChris, THANK YOU so much for organizing the event and getting everyone to participate.
I can’t thank you enough for running my last lap with me and motivating me to keep going – you are the BEST COACH ever. So proud to be part of this amazing team.
My life is going to be double unders, running and damn wall balls!
I’ll have pictures and videos ready for everyone in the next couple of days!
See you at 6:30 :)

Pie & Friends,
ReplyDeleteGreat crew you had over in victoria this past weeknd! Was a total blast. Props to everyone at Taranis for putting together a very well run event.
Although the advanced workouts were a but much for me at times , I think I made up for it with my advanced drinkning and dancing afterwards.
Vics (or "VICE") Steakhouse as Chris likes to call it really set the pace of out after party!
Hope to see you all soon !
Todd
Great to see you guys in action. You guys have some really solid athletes. I was at the track when Kioks ran the 5 minute mile - that was really impressive, definitely a highlight of the day for me. Hats off to you guys and I look forward to seeing you next year. Maybe I'll compete : )
ReplyDeleteSteve from Taranis
Thanks Steven. We had an awesome time and everyone loved the box there.
ReplyDeleteHot Toddy, I was wondering what the hell you were talking about in your text last night about "Vice"....now I remember. We dominated that restaurant. I'm pretty sure that server messed up 95% of all food orders.
Hey Guys! What a great weekend. It was great to see the team and the encouragment that you offered to each other! Thanks for throwing some cheers my way as well. I'm not sure how I thought I'd get through the weekend without Du's. I think dimples and I need a bet as to who can get them first....10 in a row :)
ReplyDeleteIf you can send me some pictures from the day that would be appreciated as well.
Hope to train with you again soon. Time to head over the North Shore!
Tim "Langley"
Is that a challenge Langley?! You are on!! you do remember me beating you in WOD 3, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteCan definitely send you some pictures and videos - send us your email
That's a challenge alright! I didnt remember you beating me until you mentioned it. That blur I saw out of the corner of my eye must have been you ;) Please send some pics when you have some time tim.dickson@oceanwestfg.com
ReplyDeletegoing to work on my du's
