Superior 14 "REGIONALS" 25.6.2016

On Saturday 25.6.2016 in Havířov weightlifting hall, team crossfit competitions were held.

One of the best Czech crossfitters Michal Mička was behind it, together with support from Superior 14. 26 teams of two people participated in two categories elite/open men.

The wods consisted of this year's and past regionals workouts, with a total of 5 for all, with no cut and no finals.

The categories were well staffed, the workouts were beautifully thought out, and the fans were really not bored. I took part in the competitions myself, I joined Adam Grundel from Ostrava. Come and see how it went.

Event 1/ Time CAP 10 min
5-5 squat snatch 70/35kg
4-4 squat snatch 80/40kg
3-3 squat snatch 90/45kg
2-2 squat snatch 100/50kg
1-1 squat snatch 105/55kg

One of the pair always had to complete a given number of reps before the other team could go. This is where the strength of the athletes showed, with the support of the whole hall, a couple of elite teams completed the entire ladder. Our team didn't get over the 90kg mark. We know we need to go up in strength and we are focusing on that.

Event 2 / Time Cap 15 min
200/120 DUs
100/80 wall ball
80/70 chest to bar/pull up
60 power clean 60kg/40kg
40/50 burpees to bar/over

Relay form, one exercised, one rested. This event tested pretty comprehensively. The athletes were a bit hampered by the brutal heat in the hall, but the conditions were the same for everyone. We wanted to make it in the time limit, which we did.

Event 3
1st athlete 2 minute max reps of
Ring MU/ chest to bar
2.athlete 2 minute max reps of
Squat clean 110kg / 70kg
1 minute rest and change

The muscleups on the crunches were the third thing that tested us, which thankfully I've been practicing lately. Combined with the heavy squat cleans, it was a joy. The barbell got pretty heavy with each rep. In the end we managed a total of 28 ring MU and 8 relocations.

Event 4/ Time CAP 15min
30 SDHP 60/40kg, DL hold 120/80kg
change
HS walking/ buddy carry
30 TTB with hang
change
HS walk/ buddy carry
30 OH Lunges 60/ front rack 40kg with Plank
change
HS Walk/ buddy carry

Each athlete had to complete 30 reps and the other was on active rest DL hold, vis and plank. We would need an extra minute to beat in time cap. We were left with 6 OH lunges and each 5m hand walk.

After all those workouts it was hard to still find the strength, the brutal heat didn't help, but we gave it our all.

Event 5 / Time CAP 10 min
21-15-9
Thruster 45kg/30kg
3-2-1
Rope climb legless

One of the athletes trains, after finishing the whole workout he passes the baton to the other. I had a bit of a problem here, I don't mind the rope, but it always makes my limbs hurt. We gathered the rest of our strength and went for it.

I started first, I was very careful on the rope, it showed in the time, I left my partner 5 min to do it, he did it in 4, so I was satisfied.

Overall we took 10th place in the elite category.

OPEN winners
1. Crossfit Bro (Kužma, Marguš)
2. Deluxe Cross Team (Kontar, Ormandík)
3. Jaster (Juračič, Šmelko)

ELITE winners
1. Superior 14 (Trojovský, Hanák)
2. Bratm Pieštany (Filus, Sluka)
3. Ultimate fitness Olomouc (Bucek, Novotný)

We went to the races mainly to have fun, gain experience and get motivated.

It had a great momentum, lots of fans, experienced crossfitters were running around the hall.

To cheer you up you could have a redbul/coffee or nutrition supplements from Superior14.

Who was hungry, went for a grilled chicken steak. The whole race went smoothly, no waiting, everything went as it should.

I rate the whole race very positively and will look forward to next year's event.

Take care, enjoy the sport and bye :)
