F3 Games Recap
CrossFit Vero Beach was well-represented with 12 teams at the F3 Games partner competition this past Saturday.
Three teams made it to the podium – Taylor and Mike got 2nd in Scaled, McKenzie and Liz got 2nd in Rx+ and Lonnie and Matt got 2nd in Masters.
The day wasn’t without challenges – inconsistent judging, botched scores and waiting. However, everyone responded with class, patience and positive attitudes. It’s always a risk to go to a new competition at a gym you aren’t familiar with and this one wasn’t run particularly well, but I think at the end of the day everyone had a great time.
I enjoyed watching everyone perform and was proud of the proficiency that
everyone displayed. We had lots of PRs on the clean & jerk complex, which was exciting to see! Our people moved so well, which was a testament to all the hard work they put in day-to-day in the gym. We also had lots of support from members who came to spectate, showing how strong our community is.
When we arrived back in Vero that night, Becca asked me “if you had to choose an MVP from today, who would it be?” I honestly couldn’t choose just
one. I started naming off everyone and why they could be an MVP. (PS: hers was Drew. She sees how hard he works to fine-tune his movements and take regular personal sessions with Liz to improve is lifts…and it showed yesterday. He looked great!)
So, congrats to you all! Now…on to Vero Beast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKENZIE FLINCHUM & JENNIFER BUDDE!
