The two fittest men and women in Margaret River crowned!

Each year, we test our Athletes against one another to find out who is the Fittest in the gym. This year we threw the team a curve ball and we made it a partner competition. Annnnnnnd we chose their partner.

We are big believers at CFMR that “a stranger is a friend you have not met yet” and it was great to see some partners who hadn’t met each other prior to the day to become besties by the end of it.

In true form, Coach Ben told all the other Coaches they could’t be paired with any other coaches so that the field would be more competitive. At the eleventh hour Coach Ben made an exception to his own rule and made Coach Matt his partner. When questioned about this on the day, he just blew his whistle to get the event under way.

It was a terribly close match in both the men and womens divisions. But unlike some of the other competitions Coach Nicole has been involved with, she noted that the teams cheered on themselves as much as each other to give it their personal CrossFit best on the day.

Coach Dan claimed the quote “We rise by lifting others” was his own and kept muttering to himself and those around him at every opportunity. Which was truly inspiring, however it was sad to see Coach Dan not making the podium. He has now cut his shifts back at CFMR to once a month and has been training everyday since the event and has vowed “that he would never be beaten by Coach Ben again”! Time will tell.

Coach Pete got within a tricep muscle of putting 140kg over his head and the girls barbells performance put the other men on notice for next year.

What an Epic Day! We are looking forward to 2022 CrossFit Open in March next year :) Comment below what was your Fave part of the day?
