Masters League invitational Wrap up - 24th June

Below is a great little read that was posted just after our masters invitational weekend out at Ipswich.

The day started well with Kristian and I arriving at the box at a chirpy 5.15, like we were asked to, for our carpool out. We then find out that that arrival time was extremely flexible; ie we could have slept i for another 30 minutes! (in the words of Coach Naomi "I was brushing my teeth at 5.24 and thought I should get a wriggle on") so by 5.40 we were on the road. Kristian and Naomi in the front of the limo with Mellie and me in the back, The Westies following in the car behind, with Robyn, Tracey and Kylie, bringing up the rear.

I thought I might get a bit of sleep on the way there but that wasn't going to happen with the old married couple in the front. From Kristian's bagel commentary to Naomi fighting him for the GPS, no sleep was to be had. After an hour of driving in our 3 car convoy we arrived out at North Tripoli. Firstly we pulled into a landscape supply store (we thought Naomi was picking up hay) all three cars having doing a choreographed u Turn in the landscape supply car park, yes they all followed us in the wrong way, Kristian obviously being blamed for the navigation. So down the road we went- straight past the Crossfit box we were looking for - for another 2-3 km before Mellie in the back says "I'm pretty sure it's back there"; another convoy u turn (we were getting very good at this) You can hear Mandy's eyes rolling as we pass them turning around - I'm am not the best lip reader but I am sure she said, 'what the duck!  This was interesting because there were no ducks around 🤔. Anyhow we finally arrived at Crossfit Wiser 1 meeting up with Deb and Damo ready for the day.

Westie was in the first heat at 8am and 8 degrees it was ducking cold! He smashed out his double clean and double jerk -1 minute of shoulder to OH (20 unbroken 😳😳) and a minute of cleans. Kristin was up next and was awesome on his double cleans and jerks, just missing his 80kg, it was great to watch. Mandy was next up posted some great numbers for her C&J - but on the power cleans went 10 unbroken to start when all the other girls were doing singles -boom! I didn't get a chance to see Kylie and Debs or Naomi as there heats were right near mine but I know Kylie hit a nice 62.5 - awesome - and Coach Naomi hit a double 70kg power clean- let's just PB that shit hey!

Second workout was 5 minutes of kettlebell and toes to bar, followed by a max hang squat snatch. Westie with a 92.5 PB and everyone else with some solid numbers. So it was around 11.30 time for a bite, some more Rapigel (which I found out is actually for dogs and horses 😳😳) for our old people bodies and a little rest.

Team Kristy and Brad then rocked up to cheer us on - thanks cheer squad Freeme! WOD 3 kicked off and it was a gasser, 8 minutes of double under buy-in, then kettle bells, box jump burpees and pull ups/bar muscle ups. Every heat that was finishing people were just puddles on the floor - uhhhhhh. Mandy the energiser bunny smashed through her workout - pretty sure she was yelling about that duck again - Kristen and Westie got theirs done (this one wasn't for the big men hey Westie!) again didn't get to see Kylie as we were in the same heat, but she obviously left it all out there because she looked like I felt after that one. Deb smashed her workout to finish the day then we all watched coach Naomi in the last WOD of the day. '100 dubs unbroken' I yell to her before she starts - she said something about that duck again, like ' yeah DUCKING right'. So nek minute - 100 dubs unbroken! - then 30 seconds of celebration (it was an 8 minute workout😂😂😂) you have to watch the video of Naomi on our CFMB Facebook page, it is awesome! 

So the WODs were all done - the Westies were 3 bundys in, Brad was on the beers and not offering them to anyone, while we waited for the results. Awesome work from Kylie and Naomi to make the qld squad and I was lucky enough to make the qld team. Amazing job from Tracey, Mellie and Robyn judging and being minions all day, they didn't even stop for lunch! Awesome work ladies thank you! - so to finish the day off it was time for team photo - ok where the duck is Deb? Hello's Deb....Deb....everyone is looking for Deb - ok so sweaty team photo without Deb. So Brad did the arial shot - with the customary 'stand up Naomi' jokes - and all the girls saying 'you boys get your sweaty armpits off me' - note to self - team photo at START of day. So the drive home was uneventful other than Naomi telling Kristian he eats too much and then taking the wrong turn down the Logan motorway, anyway we all made it home in one piece - thank you again to you all for an amazing and fun day - let's get even more there next year!
