The Quarterfinals Weekend - Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023

The Quarterfinals Weekend

We’re proud of these ladies.

As you know, both Coach Steph and Britt qualified to compete in the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Quarterfinals last weekend, and both did an incredible job with the tests that were put in front of them.

Britt has been an athlete with us for a few years.  She came to us in 2019 during her residency in Collingwood, and competed with us during the Open that Fall.  When her residency was over she headed back out West. And ended up coming back to us a year later in the fall of 2020 when she returned to Collingwood for a position at the Collingwood Hospital.  While we were shutdown Britt was our most consistent athlete on virtual classes, using one 35lb DB or a sandbag, she didn’t miss a class.  She tuned in, and worked hard every class, and through her commitment and consistency her level of fitness has only continued to increase.

As you know the last month for Coach Steph has been a rollercoaster. And was not easy on her at all. Her grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and entered hospice care within a week, unfortunately passed away just over a week ago.  Over the last month Steph has hardly trained at all, instead spending as much time with her grandfather as she could.  It would have been really easy for her to opt out of the quarterfinals this year, but instead she opted to just have fun and do what she could. Understanding her training isn’t where it normally is, and that the quarterfinals were just a fun opportunity for her to throw down alongside one of our athletes who she gets to coach often.

We also want to take a second to truly that you, our community at CrossFit Indestri. It was special to have so many of you in the facility to support and cheer these ladies on this past weekend.  I found myself holding back tears a couple times.  The energy, the spirit and the support that you brought inside the facility last weekend was phenomenal.  Special bonds are created through the shared suffering in workouts, we all know how it feels to a degree, so we all can appreciate, support and encourage that little extra push when needed, and that’s just what you did. A special thank you to both my girls as well, who were on site to help with everything all weekend and also capture the moments and memories beautifully.

All in all it was an incredible weekend.  I was honoured to be judge both the ladies, and am very proud of the effort that they put in and the attitude they displayed all weekend.
