Post time to comments.
This weekend was the inaugural “Earn Your Turkey WOD” at MBS CrossFit. It was a day that consisted of what you might expect from a CrossFit competition.
- A 5K run which was “quite hilly,” but didn’t stop a ton of PR’s.
- The CrossFit Total where every CF Verver’s had one or more PR’s
- And, to cap it all off the afternoon, a “Deep-Fried Turkey” WOD that made you feel like you were burnt to a crisp after.
This last WOD consisted of the following, with a 10 minute cap:
- 15 ground to overhead i.e. snatch or C&J at 115/95# for men and 65/55# for women.
- 10 burpee wall jumps over a 5’ wall.
- The athletes had a chance to choose their pain: 30 jumping pull ups on the rope, three 20’ rope ascents, or five 20’ rope ascents.
- Turn around and do 10 more burpee wall jumps on the infamous 5’ wall.
- 15 more ground to overhead
In a competition that saw new Verver’s dawning the eye black for the first time in competition, to Verve fans and athletes bringing out the cowbells to show their support. A fun time was had by all.
You should know that they made all the coaches of Verve extremely proud with the high level of camaraderie, great movements and form, and all around fun! Highlights included:
“Powerhouse Tiff”: a staple in CrossFit competitions for Verve since the beginning. PR’s on press and deadlift. She killed the last WOD and was always seen with a smile. 10th place in Open.
Gayle the Gazelle: PR’d on her deadlift and ran like the wind on the 5K. This competition was her birthday gift to herself. 2nd place in the Master’s division.
Jamey: bringing the strong and proving it with the fastest Vervette’s run time and PR’s in all three lifts. 3rd place in Intermediate women’s.
Nick B: barreled through a wall in the run, PR’s all three lifts of the Total, and strung together 15, 95# snatches in a row, fastest in his heat. 20th place in the Open men’s division.
Blake: who could ask for a more level headed athlete who will give his all and come back for more. 30# PR in his deadlift. 16th place in the Open class.
Ali: who was super fast on the run and a 5’ foot wall has nothing on her. She seems to have friends at every CF gym, 13th place in the Open division.
“Smiley Kiley”: who had PR’s on her press and deadlift. Was ready to help in any way possible. 19th place in Open.
Marsha: masters podium finish and kept coming back for more. PR’d in the squat, and her smile was absolutely infectious to all. 3rd place in women’s Masters.
Slaughter: who devoured the deep fried turkey WOD and PR’d his deadlift. 10th place in f’ing Elite class.
Gerson: 30# PR in the dead lift and making a name for himself as being consistent and ready for anything. 16th place in the f’ing Elite class.
Mike “I’m here to lift heavy s#%&” McKenna: who had a CF total of 975, with PR’s across the board and an awesome time in the run. 17th place in the f’ing Elite class.
Sarah the “Levanator”: who took no gumpf and showed grit with PR’s on her squat and deadlift. 11th place in Open.
Mas: making lifts look lightweight! PR’s in squat and deadlift. And wondered, “Would it be easier to go through the wall?” on the last WOD. 10th place in the Open division.
Joylyn: who was first in the CF Total by 70# and made that rope cry out “Uncle!!” Took 5th place in the Open division.
All-in-all it was a great day. We had fun being together and cheering each other on. So we come away knowing that we gave it our all and we will be back for seconds, thirds, or maybe the whole darn turkey in the future.
Great job Verve, proving your fitness once again.
