Three days of workouts on land, air, and sea (well, a body of water, anyway) tested our CFDW athletes competing at Strength in Depth in Birmingham last weekend.
Coach Sam Cowler, James Barber, and Libby Bearman headed to the NEC to compete as individuals in their categories – the boys in Male Rx, and Libby in Female Masters – each coming away with their own success stories:
○ An event win for James with a huge 153kilo clean riiight on the buzzer
○ An event win for Libby with calculated pacing and speedy ring muscle ups
○ An event win for Sam on the assault runner during the endurance event… not to mention a podium finish for him over all too!
It’s a genuine pleasure to see our gym go out to showcase the hard work they put into their training, and all the more pleasurable when they do so well amongst their peers. But the real treat is the support they receive when they do it. A huge thank you to Miss McCord (pep-talker, caterer, and masseuse), Andy Luckers (cheerleader and cameraman extraordinaire), and Claire Cat (super-supporter and event judge). Shout out to Jess Jordan, too for placing in her weightlifting comp there!
