Clash on the Coast

Clash on the Coast Recap.

Thank you to everyone that was involved in making the Clash on the Coast 2014 – The Combine a success.  We were really happy with the day and it was great to get the wider CrossFit community together for a day of competition offering something a little different.  If you have feedback please let us know.  We always aim to make each year better and offer something a little different.  If you have any inspiration stories or photos please share with Coastal CrossFit on Facebook.  We hope you enjoyed your day and look forward to seeing you again in 2015.

ATHLETES– Congratulations to everyone that competed.  The attitudes and support was great even when we announced that the 400m Run was being changed to Max Burpee Broad jumps in 2 mins (due to weather conditions).  We saw new PR’s  being set and witnessed that great CrossFit community with athletes from rival teams cheering one another on.

VOLUNTEERS – A huge thank you to our awesome friends and family from our CrossFit/BOOTCAMP community that volunteered their day/days to assist in the set up, counting/judging and pack-up.  This day couldn’t happen without you.  We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful community. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

FOOD – Thanks to my beautiful sister Ang & Heather, for jumping in and keeping our volunteers and athletes fed after a last minute drop out from our food vendor.  As always your food was unreal.  Thanks also to Matt & Laura from Howzya week for their delicious CrossFit friendly food (be sure to book these guys for your next CrossFit event).

SPONSORS–  Thanks to all of the business that supported us with equipment (Gym & Fitness) supplied prize packs for winners & gifts for our volunteers.

The format: 
– Teams of 3 (same gender), completed 15 tests of fitness throughout the day, distributed as they wanted throughout their teams.  We saw individuals being able to maximise their strengths by selecting events which best suited them, giving credit to their team with an optional individual result as well.

The test: 
Teams started on various events, but the order of flow will be the same with approx. 15 mins between events.  Teams chose which athlete did each event allowing them to optimise the strengths of the team.
