Congratulations to all our athletes who competed in the Gladiator Gauntlet this weekend! It was a lot of fun to watch and it was great to see so many of our members come out to support them. Suzie took 1st in 2 of the 5 workouts and finished 2nd overall in the women’s Rx division. Noe came in 1st in the final workout and 2nd in the squat wod to finish 5th overall! They also both PRd their clean and jerks at 150lbs!
Alex and Dan also finished top 10 in the men’s Rx division. Alex took 2nd in the sandbag wod and smashed the field by almost a minute in the squat workout. Dan finished 3rd on wod 3 and PRd his clean and jerk at 255lbs!
All 3 of our ladies in the scaled division finished in the top 10! Tana was very impressive in her first competition winning first place! She came in first in 2 workouts and 2nd in another. She was a full 2 minutes faster than anyone else in the wod 4! Reahana was right behind her taking the 2nd place spot on the podium. She was very consistent finishing top 5 in 3 of the 5 workouts. Anna also did great and PRd her clean and jerk at 125lbs!
The men’s scaled division also had 5 of our own in the top 11. Jay took 1st place out of 33 guys. After a disappointing first wod he came back like a champ placing no lower than 6th in any other wod. Mike R also had a strong showing with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and finished the day in 5th overall. Ray, Thomas, and Ken finished 9th, 10th, and 11th respectively. All 3 of them hit huge lifts and they were feeding off each others energy the whole day.
