This past weekend a lot of our members represented CrossFit Vic City at the March Melee event hosted by Better with Blacker, at CrossFit Zone.

We had 10 athletes competing in the intermediate and RX division:

Victoria

Mikey Dubbs

Aiden

Emily

Wilson

Alan

Tony

Chris VS

Owen

Connor

Matty P

For some it was their first ever CrossFit competition, for others, their first time upping their division and competing in the RX category.

The event started at Mt. Finlayson, and ended with a full on sprint of rowing, thruster and lunge combo. It was awesome seeing everyone give it their all and attack each workout.

On the podium we had Aiden placing 2nd in the intermediate category and Connor placing 2nd in the RX category.

Congratulations to all the athletes, you sure made me proud as your coach watching you all this weekend! And on behalf of Better with Blacker, thank you all for your enthusiasm and support this weekend.

Their was representation from 7 different gyms: 5 local, one up island (Ladysmith), and one from the mainland (Kitsilano). Vic city had the most members (11) competing and was great seeing everyone represent and support one another.
