Threw a team together for CrossFit Lineage’s team challenge on Saturday 7th. Our team consisted of Curt Manning, Bailey Manning, Becky Hogg, Peter Gut, Melissa Brooke Collins Gut, and myself. There were 3 events, each event had 4 members from each team compete(2 guys/2 girls). We appointed Curt to be our team captain, and since we couldn’t decide on a funny way to blend HogFit and Farm Strong, we just decided to call ourselves “Team Awesome..er”. Giving yourselves a name like that, it was a good thing we didn’t come in dead last! That being said we were able to clinch 1st out of the 6 teams competing from Edmonton’s local CrossFit gyms. Having never competed in a CrossFit team event before, I can definitely say it is something I’d like to do again in the future! It was so much fun! And when you have people stragazing, and waiting for you to finish, it certainly makes you push harder then you would on a normal day of training. Thanks to the Lineage crew for hosting such a fun event, and for letting me stay late and get my o-lifts in. Also big thanks to Curt for lining the team up, and placing my out of shape butt in the 2 longer events, knowing I need to get back in shape for the upcoming CrossFit Open…….guess that’s why he’s my conditioning coach. Below is a summary of the events, my programed lifts, and a video from the day.
