Congratulations to the following people for winning this weeks top ranked athlete and spirit of the open awards (thanks to Ascend Sport Nutrition).
Top Ranked Athlete: Tanya Murray – Great work Tanya for again being the top ranked athlete for this week.
Spirit of the Open Award: Louis Louwrens – Louis is another of our quiet achievers. Relatively new to CrossFit Louis threw himself into the open and has experienced huge personal achievements. Despite not having chest to bar pull-ups prior to the Open, Louis managed to work his way through 41 reps (15 chest to bar) in this final workout. On top of this Louis is a fly in fly out (FIFO) worker and ensured he completed his WODs via video submissions whilst he was away. Great work for your commitment and efforts Louis. This is well deserved!!
Our Overall CrossFit Open Winners for 2013 are…… Drum roll
Top Ranked Male: Luke O finishing in 714th in our Region.
Top Ranked Female: Tess Napper who finished in 278th in the world (Masters division). Awesome efforts guys!!!!
Spirit of the Open: The overall winner of the Spirit of the Open is Jack Shadforth. Jack is our youngest competitor who signed up for the Open. His positivity and enthusiasm has been an inspiration for many in the box throughout the Open and on a regular basis. Although Jack knew he would not be able to RXD many of the WODs he came in hone his skills and to give each WOD everything he had. A special moment for us was in WOD 13.3 where Jack achieved 25reps of Wall ball at RXD weight (something he did once for the first time the morning of the event). Jack we could not be prouder of you and what you have achieved not just during the Open but since starting with us. You are a true Champion!!!
Congratulations also to Marie and Chris who were our Top ranked female and male but are ineligible for prizes.
