Allstar Affiliate Series Weekend Write Up!

Congratulations to the 3 Bring It On CrossFit Teams who competed on Saturday & Sunday at the Melbourne Allstar Affiliate Series CrossFit Competition. All 18 team members completed 7 WOD’s across the 2 days and performed incredibly well in each and every one!

It was a really great weekend competing alongside the Bing It On CrossFit Community who represented the box extremely well, and as a coach, I was very proud of the way our teams performed, maintaining great technique and form throughout each WOD and just having an awesome time doing it!

The event was held at the Melbourne Showgrounds and included a massive 108 teams all made up of 6 team members (3 guys and 3 girls), along with 200+ spectators, vendors, judges and staff working the event. Our teams place 13th, 56th and 77th in the intermediate group and 32nd, 75th and 96th overall competing against the best CrossFitters in Victoria and Australia including a large number of Regionals and Games athletes (Rob Forte).

Well done to each of our teams, including the ‘Couples Team’ made up of Madison Chamley, Ryan Chamley, Pat Keating, Kate Dorward, Hayley Brooks & Ben Brooks. All with young families found time to train and prepare for the comp as well as competing exceptionally well on both days! You are all an inspiration and well done on a great weekend! Our second team was ‘Hago’s Heros’ made up of Michael Hageman, Mick Ryan, Ben Ross, Claire Benci, Jess McIntyre & Cate Empson. This team had a number of roster changes leading up to the event and probably only had 2 good weeks to prepare as a full team yet worked together very well and put in some amazing performances across the weekend including smashing the final WOD setting one of the quickest times in the first wave! Our last team was made up of Ashley Cox, Jacob Stubbings, Grace Linke, Maddison Cameron, Simone Bate and myself. I had an absolute blast competing alongside these amazing crossfitters and spent most of the time just trying to keep up! Every member gave 100% when it was their turn to go and how we placed was just an awesome achievement and I’m very proud of that!

Last thing, I wanted to thank everyone who came up and cheered the teams on. Taking the time to drive up to Melbourne to support the Bring It On Community means a hell of a lot to those competing, so huge thank you to you! The main goal of the weekend for everyone was to have fun and I think we knocked that goal out of the park! Great weekend Bring It On CrossFIt team and I’m looking forward to the next one! See you all back at the box once you have all had a day or two to recover!!

Cheers,

Coach Jared.
