A big thanks to everyone who donated to our Regionals Team Fundraiser. Many brave souls came down on the day, they all had a blast and some got rather muddy!!!

Run 6k for time;

Through mud, muddy streams, over rolling hills, under barbed wire and over obstacles.

We had a team of 40 in the event, managed to gather about 25 for a group photo, apologies to those who missed out.

Emma came in 2nd place for over 40 womens division. (I thought you were 35??;)

Daymen was the first CrossFitter finished, 5th overall and Aiden right behind him in 6th.

Thanks to everyone who entered, it was great to have such a large group.  I hear everyone had lots of fun, CrossFit Birkenhead T-shirts were everywhere around the course.

We were lucky to have a bit of rain, wind and general coldness on the day, just wouldn’t be a Tough guy/gal challenge without it!!
