Strength & Power Invitational21st November 2009
|
 |
My friends from FK.UK and Crossfit Reading are putting on a strength and power invitational on 21st November near Reading, UK. The idea is to test raw strength and power but also to get together and have some fun. This is what we all train for, right?
Everyone is welcome, whether as a competitor or a spectator (provided you can make it to the south east of the UK on the day – sorry to my readers overseas). We especially look forward to meeting some new faces as well as getting old friends to come out and play.
The disciplines are:
Deadlift
Press
Vehicle Pull
Overhead Throw
Heavy Medley
…and a surprise
These may be for reps, load, time or distance! The details are deliberately being kept under wraps until the day, so be prepared for anything.
Athletes will be split by sex and then into 3 weight classes:
Men: sub 75kg, 75-90kg, 90kg+
Women: sub 55kg, 55-65kg, 65kg+
Here are the details:
Date: Saturday 21st November 2009
(Registration cut off: Sunday 8th November)
Time: 1000 weigh-in for 1100 start
Location: Tadley RFC, Red Lane, Aldermaston, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 4PA
Athlete Entry Fee: £6
Get your place reserved soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To reserve your place email chet@funckey.co.uk AND mail@crossfitreading.co.uk with your name, sex, and weight in kg. They will then send you payment details. It would be great if you could mention that you saw this event on my website.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Gubes, I’m all signed up for this and starting some specific training tomorrow after my hammer bash!
See you there
Cheers Rob
