Fit Wars is South Australia’s premier fitness competition, designed to test all aspects of fitness – strength, endurance, power, skill, agility as well as just pure guts and determination. At Fit Wars 8 every team and individual competitor will be put thru their paces on at least 3 different workouts – varying in time anywhere from 5min to 20mins and designed to test competitors as much as possible. Past events have included sprints with sandbags, max weight clean and jerk, pullups, kettlebell swings, handstand pushups and tyre drags amongst other things.
Karen, Jenny and Adam did Fit Wars 8 on Sunday the 9th of Feb.
Karen did the Masters division, Masters was male + female, they competed at the same time in one heat head to head. The events are scaled based on age and gender – broken up as follows Male (45-54) Male (55+) Female (45-54) Female (55+).
She had 3 workouts to do. This was her first ever CrossFit comp. Karen does WOD sessions at F!T F!X to help her train up for the event. Karen came 8th, she was happy with this as 1 year ago, she couldn’t even do any of these movements / exercises. She knows the areas to work on, and wants to be top 3 next time!
