Zone Rangers Athlete Profile – Tara Hailstone

Name: Tara Hailstone

Nick Name: Mighty Mouse

Overhead Squat: 105lbs

Jackie: 12:36

10km Run: 51:55

Though small in size, Tararizer more than makes up for it in pure determination and fierceness.  Since watching the BC Sectionals, which inspired her to want to compete at the Regionals, Tara has been working very hard in the gym, putting up awesome scores in WODs (including repping out 95lb thrusters and a 210lb deadlift!).  She also rocks the handstand pushups and kills it on runs.

As part of the Zone Rangers team traveling to Okotoks this coming weekend, Tara will get her wish to compete amongst the best CrossFit athletes in Canada and will no doubt rise to the occasion!

Zone 1 – scale as needed

Regionals Crew:

Buy – in – Deadlifts:  5 x 3, working up slowly in weight but keeping everything smooth with perfect technique – top weight should go up easy on all three reps.  Now is not the time to be a hero!
