That’s right! We have the trophies finally all made up and ready to be held triumphantly over the heads of our first place finishers on May 27th! Big thanks to Jeremy for making the box jump boxes and a shrink ray to size them down from full size to adorable, and Teej’s Mama for getting the plates engraved!
Deanna and I did our best to look through old photos and remember who won each of these events. We definitely got more right than wrong, but take a look at these close up photos and if you see a mistake post it in the comments. Also, if you have photos that show the correct winners then send them our way and we’ll get them fixed.
The names are of the top male and top female of each category for each event. The number on the plate signifies which Zone Games it was.
QOD: Who is coming to the Zone Games on the 27th, either to compete, watch or judge?

Today’s Workout:
Buy In: 3 sets of max effort 2 for 1’s
WOD: “Pull”
12-9-6-3 reps NOT for time of:
Deadlift
Strict or Wtd Pull up
Increase weight/ difficulty each set. Rest as needed between sets to allow enough recovery to increase the weight. Here is a guideline for deadlift weights:
- 12 reps @ 67% of 1RM
- 9 reps @ 76% of 1RM
- 6 reps @ 88% of 1RM
- 3 reps @ 94% of 1RM
Score is the heaviest weight lifted on your Deadlift + heaviest weight lifted on strict pullup + Body weight
Zone 3 – assisted strict pullups. Subtract rubber band assistance from body weight for score
Zone 2 – keep the same weight on the deadlift and focus on technique only
Zone 1 – scale as needed
Cash Out – 3 x 10 sets of Turkish Get up situps, increase weight each set if possible
Cam won ZG1 I pretty sure I was on top in ZG2 and I know that Shane won ZG3 The rest I'm not sure.
The first two games are not well documented.. And most likely where any mistakes will be. Does anyone else remember it the way Jeremy does?
I've got pics of both those games on my fb page including the requisite podium pics, excepting only the advanced ladies in zone games 2 – it looks like the trophies are correct.
I'll be there for part of the day to help out.
Indeed, there is photographic evidence on Wendy's FB page! However Jeremy will always be a winner to me…
When I said I 'm pretty sure…. I was wrong. I must have just dreamed about being on top of the podium and believed it to be reality.
I will be competing. Looking forward to my first zone games.
So they are all probably right.
First Zone Games in the new location, and we'll have some awesome weather for hanging out on the deck! This is gonna be a good one. I'll be bringing my most enthusiastic judging to the table, and look forward to seeing lots of new faces come test themselves in the Novice category.
I will be competing for sure. I am anxious to try out my new training routine of sitting on my butt looking at a computer for 12 hours a day.
I"LL give you some competition!
I'll be there! So excited to throw down and see you all – miss you guys already!
miss yelly pants will be there with her whistle (brigit's alter-ego as she never yells in real life 😛 ) always a fun event, glad to see amrit coming out!
I'm in ! Lookin forward to it
This will be my first time in the advanced category. Just hoping to make it out alive! 🙂
I might be in, depending on the amount of volunteer help we get.
commit you puss!
I will be there to judge and cheer!
I'll be there. Probably judging/helping/cheering
I will be there to compete for the first time. Pretty stoked!
