Athlete of the week Fraser Middleton – 200 reps on 15.2
15.2 is now officially in the books and Team CFG are sat in 40th place in Europe and are 8th overall in the UK. Our Competitor Cell represented well with many of the usual faces and some notable top 3 debuts for Ross Park and Ross McMurdo. Extra super special mention to Kim Puschman who overcame technical ineptitude with the timer clock (which she hasn’t mentioned at all since) to secure a huge 6 extra reps on the WOD on her rerun. Steph Dekker sits 18th overall in Europe with a 28th place finish for this week’s WOD further cementing her Regional level standing in Europe.
Even though the scaling wasn’t as open and accessible as the previous week it was a great atmosphere right the way through the weekend as everyone gave it their best. Across the board we saw improvements on last year’s efforts as people got to grips with the range of motion requirements for the OHS and obtained some C2B pull ups out of the blue as they struggled against the clock.
Athlete of the week for 15.2 is Fraser Middleton who represented CFG in the Teen division with an amazing 200 reps on his repeat effort. Fraser wins (something). Notable mentions go to Catriona Morton who scored her first ever C2B pull ups; Philippa Roy who continues to inspire by fighting against the odds – 6 legit reps in the OHS after a shaky start; Pamela Loch who hit an OHS PR and got her first ever C2B; Ruth Wallace who upgraded to Rx to secure a score of 10 after arguing that she wouldn’t manage the weight; Alan Wilson from CF Kirkintilloch who smashed the WOD and set a standard for the Scottish Males and Phil Gillan who battled his demons on the OHS to improve last year’s score by a huge 40 reps. Huge thanks to all who gave up their time to judge and support the other athletes – we couldn’t do it without you.
The end of Open party will take place on Saturday 28th of March at CFG from 16.00 until 19.00 and will be a “School Sports Day” theme with fun for all the family. We’ll have games, prizes for the athletes of the week, cakes, beverages and a few special surprises. It would be great if we could get everyone who registered along for a massive team photo to commemorate our historic “Threepeat” of the title of largest team in Europe.
