All teams came within the top 3 in each heat - overall Mat's team came out 5th!!
Nearly lost k-star when he fell off the row - but hey . . . we can live with that!
Excellent team row from The Rev & Co - Craig nearly blew the computer up with those super human pulls!
Ground to overhead
Every member got a new PR!!

Prowler (push sled with 60kg/40kg for 40 metres then pull it back)
All teams once again did really well - MASSIVE effort from Mr Socks & Co. who had a fantastic time of sub 8minutes (I think they came approximately 5th overall)
Met-Con (last workout)
Everyone did supurb - well done to team socks who had a fair old load to carry but battled on and came 13:??
Team Rev also did outstanding - well done to Kate who had to be dragged out of the door by Craig!
Big congrats to Mat, Sp, Gav and Machine who had the fastest time of the day in this event (8:32) - nobody could touch you guys!!
OVERALL SCORES
"All the gear, no idea" (Mat, SP, Gav & Max) = 7th place
"Completely Funct" (K-star, Socks, West & Kris) = 12th place
"Pathetic Athletic" (Rev, Craig, Gary & Kate) = 20th Place
54 teams competed guys so you should be extremely proud of everyone who went down there and did it for Funct Fitness. We are a small gym with little advertising and managed to keep up with the best of them (and beat them on some occasions)!
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone - you did me proud (and for that reason I will take you next year)!! LOTS of photos to go up on the site but they will have to wait until Monday coz I AM SHATTERED!!!!
Love claire x x x x x
Awesome day...HUGE well done to everyone...so so proud of all of us....immense effort n' enjoy rest day...u earnt it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update guys, really pleased with our overall position. We fell just a couple of clicks the wrong side of 10min on the sled and it put us back a bit I think but as I said earlier given the workouts I'm chuffed to bits for the guys in my team. Kate, Gary and Craig gave it everything, the GTOH was an unbelievable experience and although we couldn't keep up with our very own firebreathers on the MetCon it went well...(I Didn't know much about it at the time but apparently we were only a couple of seconds away from my new best friend Samantha) so we'll take that. Oh and I think the rower we had has been confined to the grave yard following Craig's efforts... sweet.
ReplyDeleteBig shout to our two other Teams...the coach and the gang were electric on the MetCon...you should have seen the look on the top team at that times faces when they realised you just eaten 30 secs out of their time! Great effort all round guys you really did shine!
And to Chris,Kris,Keith and Adam what can I say, Thats gotta be the gutsiest performance I've ever seen. There were some serious athletes there today and you left them in your wake...fantastic. Mind you Sam did say to me later on after judging your ground to overhead .."who is that bafoon in the white licra who can't put the right weight discs on the bar but slings 105 to the sky as if lifting a pencil"....
and finally one massive shout out to everyone who came to support us...thanks guys it made the day having you lot around us. (Oh Claire and Mrs SP I owe you for grub...I'll arrange a table at Gordon Ramsays Claridges as a thank you)
Well done everyone!
Hey Socks, just a quick thought for you Bro. Everyone who is someone in UK crossfit was there today (There were even some tasty foreigners judging from their accents), so by my calculations (and Sams 'cause I asked her) we recon you're now in the top 50...how cool is that my man...ice ice baby!
ReplyDeleteBIG THANKYOU TO ALL WHO CAME DOWN TO SUPPORT US THROUGHOUT THE DAY, IT WAS AN AWESOME DAY,I'VE NEVER ENJOYED BEING IN SO MUCH PAIN, LOVED IT .. WHENS THE NEXT ONE..
ReplyDeleteBig shout out to my team socks kris and west huge effort never expected to finish in 12th was amazed, with to top 10 placings :-)Long Socks is a legend not only did he lift 105K in GTOH but he did it again carrying all 105k of me 200m in the met con i had it easier as socks is lighter than me. also big thanks to our other teams and supporters from funct fit who cheered us on all day it was awesome, only slight on my team is we need to go back to school and learn how to count lol. cant wait to start training for next year bring it on
ReplyDeleteWow what a day that was yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone who came down to support us. A massive thanks to Mat & Claire for all their efforts. Our first comp and all three teams in the top 20, that's proof of all the hard work that you two have put in to us over the past 12 months.
The atmosphere in the GTOH was like nothing that I have ever experienced before, it was amazing. It was worth being there just to see the Rev and Kate's faces when they hit those PR's.
A big well done to the Completely Funct team for finishing TWELFTH, An absolutely incredible effort. Does anyone know if Socks has stopped smiling yet? I don't blame you big man, I think it needed a day like yesterday for guys like yourself and West to realise how good at Crossfit you actually are!
guys really dont know what to say yesterday was just unbelievable, cant rember being so happy and exhausted at the same time,just to say a really big thank to everyone who came yesterday wether you competed or came to support us a long the way,every one of us should be really proud of what we have achieved.k-star, west and kris gave 100% effort and that was shown in the results,as for the other two teams, i think your efforts really inspired us to better, than we thought we could, so its a massive thanks to you guys as well, all the work we do together at the gym and the atmosphere there makes the difference.
ReplyDeletealso a big thank you to MAT AND CLARE!you guys put so much effort into push and helping all of us to make us better atheletes. gavi stopped smiling when i went to bed at 10pm, but woke up smiling this morning,rev i,m a long way of that mark but thanks for anyway brother.
Well said guys, every team member from each of the teams had at some point yesterday their moment of glory and you're right boys it's all down to the hard work and effort that Mat and Claire put in for us. From a rather stiff Rev thanks darlings.
