The evening kicked off with two handed swings. The ladies were doing it with 8kg, James and David with 12kg and Nick and Tom with 16kg. Everyone flew through six minutes of continuous swings to pass the first stage.
Next was Snatches! Again the girls used 8kg and had to complete 75 repetitions in 5 minutes. Vicky and Annie smashed it with time to spare.
David and James then took the floor with the 12kg kettlebell. James had 75 reps to complete and David 70. Both men looked solid throughout and also finished with time to spare. Last up on the Snatches were Tom and Nick with the 16kg. They both had 85 reps to do and they also flew through it with time left.
Everyone was on target to finish with a coloured shirt but the hardest element was yet to come! Annie and David went first to go for their Long Cycle attempt. Annie managed to complete 60 reps without putting the kettlebells down and David finished just after also without putting down. Vicky, Nick and James were up next and also showed solid form to complete 60, 70 and 60 reps respectively. Tom finished the night off in style with 70 reps.
Well done to everyone who took part and the results show all the hard work and effort you have put in over the last year. May it long continue.
"Massive well done to..." but also a massive well done to Will and Annie, without whose training and encouragement we'd never have achieved our goals.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we all have the next level in our sights and Will and Annie (I'm sure) will be driving us on towards it.

PS. On a technical note: Will did a fantastic job on the 'bells (I speak from experience) smoothing them off. Double "well done".
