Thank you to everyone who participated and/or volunteered their time to make Friday Night Fights a success. We saw some great performances both individually and as teams.
The evening started with all athletes being put on teams. After the teams were announced, athletes had 5 minutes to congregate and decide a team captain. Brandan, Amir, and Nik lead the three teams throughout the evening.
The 3 WOD’s were briefed and teams had another 10 minutes to pick the order in which they would participate in the events and warm up.
Some standout performances of the evening:
Team LL – Jen with a 305# back squat, and Tim with a 225 jerk. Albert hitting 95 air squats in 2 minutes, while Amir completing 60 push ups in 2 minutes. Matt helped his team on the final event with 4, 500m rows and 4, 200m prowler pushes around the island.
Team Avengers – In the first WOD Brandan hit 100 air squats in 2 minutes and then gutted out 6, 500m rows and 4, 200m prowler pushes around the island in the final event of the evening. Ashley hit a big PR with a 125# jerk while Chris hit PR’s in both the back squat(285#) and jerk(185#). Matt lead the team in the strength portion though with a 345# back squat. Colleen moved through 2 minutes of ab mat sit up; adding 53 reps for the team.
Team Voldermort – Jalen and Nik put up big numbers on ther strength portion of the competition. Jalen hitting a 195# PR and Nik hitting a 300# jerk/push press/strict press/…he got the bar locked out over head.
