good work everyone today at the games! amazing athletes from the zone and great crowd of spectators to cheer them on!
Awesome job today, everyone!
Thanks to everyone that came out to cheer us on, that was absolutely amazing! I am so happy that was have such a great supportive team. Love you Zoners!!!!
Awesome job to my fellow Zoners…. Krista, Lani, Mehul, Sean and Cam. I am sooooo proud of you. I think we represented well. Can’t wait for the standings. We will post them on the Games Prep section of the forum.
Can’t say enough about how awesome it was to have the support we had today during the competition. There is nothing that helps me more when the going gets tough than to have a crew of my friends pulling for me. You guys are the best, I honestly could not have done it without all of your support. It almost made me cry a few times 🙂
Congrats also to those who competed today. We all had goats in the WODs and we all met adversity head on and we all came out champions. It’s an honour for me to train alongside you guys on a weekly basis.
Thanks for everything
Turts
ps. sorry for the plethora of f-bombs
You guys were all amazing, it was inspiring to see 🙂 Congrats!!
I second that apology for all the F bombs!
SO, apparently we need a new nickname for Krista 🙂 any ideas…. “Machine”
Don’t forget to do your 6 burpees today!!!!
I rather enjoyed the F bombs.
They are on video, so you guys will get to hear them alot haha
Oh? Is Krista not down with “KDF” anymore? Poop. We’ll have to do some thinking.
I think my only swearing was a few F-bombs after I slipped and slammed sideways into the fence post during the run.
speaking of which, is there any video or pics of seans bail? i heard it was epic but would like to see it myself!
you can call me a carnage junkie
Not sure, I think Donald may have it because he was down there before we started. The way I saw it was Sean was racing through the fence, slipped right into it on his ribs. The guy behind him slipped as well and then grabbed onto the fence and hopped over him.
