Just a few of my star Spartans!

Saturday was the finale for the 7 week Spartan 300 Challenge. My team of 6 did a great job during the entire challenge and the results say it all.

Mike
Mike did I AM CROSSFIT with me in Januaryand he entered this challenge already in GREAT shape. He was strong, lean, and mastering most of CrossFit's basic movements - so what did Mike do?? He signed up for his first triathlon next weekend! Maintained his body weight throughout the challenge but dropped down to 9.9% body fat (down from 24% when he started just 9 months ago). He crushed the final benchmark in 17:39min - a major improvement from his DNF on the first benchmark! Watch out for Mike in the CrossFit Masters competition next year.

Connie
I met Connie last September when she joined my CFE Elements crew. BUT the Connie that I coached during Spartan is NOT the same gal I met back then. She has completely transformed her life and her appearance. In fact, I overheard someone bragging about how Connie has the figure of a teenager :) That was right after a bystander stated they hope to do pull-ups like Connie when they were 50ish....their friend quickly chimed in with "I wish I could do pull-ups like that and I'm not even 30".
Needless to say, Connie is an inspiration! She worked religiously to improve her strength over the last 7 weeks. In the end she was a mere 5 pull ups away from finishing the workout on Saturday - a vast improvement from the initial workout. She also added 3.5 lbs of muscle while dropping her body fat from 19% down to 16.5%.








Emily
Emily is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable from the instant you meet! While Emily was a new face to me at the start of the Spartan Challenge she was not new to our CrossFit Central Challenges - her plans to do I AM CROSSFIT fell thru and she was out to redeem herself with Spartan!
Redeem she did....Emily kept an immaculate food log - squeezed in the extra workouts between CrossFit Class and training for a marathon - and kept her life as a self proclaimed resident chef, dog feeder, photographer and wife in tact!
Emily improved her performance in the benchmark workouts - lost 7.4 lbs - dropped 9.5 inches - "after 7 weeks of challenge, I felt good enough to hang out on the boat in my bathing suit."

Thank you all for choosing me to help you thru the Spartan Challenge!
