3 weeks, exactly:
That’s the countdown to the Canadian Crossfit Regionals. Some of Canada’s fittest people are getting in their last two major weeks of training getting ready for the biggest Crossfit challenge Canada has ever seen. As you know, part of the competition is a battle of Affiliate teams, and we have our own Zone Rangers heading out to do battle. Over the next few weeks we’ll be featuring each of the members of our team so be sure to encourage them as they begin their final prep towards the competition.
Here’s today’s featured athlete:
Name: Heather Bailey
Nick Name: H-Bomb
Deadlift: 275lbs
500M Row: 1:50
Christine: 12:01
Heather joined our Zone community in January and has quickly become part of our family. She always trains hard and as a coach is a great motivator and leader. With relatively little Crossfit experience, the HBomb dropped in on the BC Sectionals and gave an awe inspiring performance (see pic above for a sample of one of the great faces we saw out of her that weekend ;). She’ll be a great team member and will anchor a lot of our strength components with her raw HBomb power!
Today’s Workout:
Buy In – 2 rounds not for time of: 250m row, 10 thrusters (bar), 5 pullups
WOD – “Jackie”
A classic crossfit WOD, Jackie is a toughie but a goodie AND on our awesome leaderboard. Check out the video of these athletes
For time
-
1000m row
-
50 thrusters (45lb)
-
30 pullups
Cash Out – Goat practice – choose 1-2 goats to work on for technique.
What’s RX for thrusters for females in case I can’t make the wod and do it in work gym? (even tho pull ups are scaled – arg! When will I get my Kip?) great profile heather! I know you’ll do great in Calgary. U bring such positive energy!!
I love H-Bomb! She’s my inspiration to do better, to work harder, and to do it all smarter. She’s always got such great intensity and excitement when approaching a workout. You’ll always seeing her coming in early or staying late and working on her “goats”. H-Bomb – you make me want to be a better athlete!
Luv ya lady!
Kath, it is a 45lb thruster for everyone.
Check out the video from .com of the affiliate workout at regionals.

You guys just about made me cry. I am in awe of your empowering comments. Thank you so much for saying these things. I am really trying to work hard on improving myself so that I can be a powerful part of our affiliate team. I feel fortunate to be a part of the crossfit zone family and the zone rangers team.
