Regional champs – 7 Sept 2013
Again, we had the Flemish and Wallonian regional championships together this year, hosted by CHFS in Brussels. It was run as an informal friendly, and the refs were fairly generous in their scoring. I have some more photos coming, but will load what I have now. I did a nice job, just missed my last…
Women’s Open – Ireland – CrossFit West Dublin – Sat. 17th August 2013
When I went to Austria in May for the “ASVÖ – NÖ” Women Weightlifting Grand Prix, I met a lovely bunch of lady lifters from Ireland, and they mentioned that they were having an Open in August. I said I was interested, and they sent me the info. So we went for a long weekend…
10th International “ASVÖ – NÖ” Women Weightlifting Grand Prix, Brunn, Austria, 9-11 May 2013
We had a long weekend in Belgium, so I spent the last three days in Austria, competing with 66 women from 16 countries in an all-Women weightlifting competition. Age range was 8 years old to 68 years old. And all could lift well!! I won first place in my age group, and sixth overall in…
Spring Break in Florida
Had to go to Florida (!) for a conference during Easter week, but it does not mean I stop training! Thanks to the folks at Crossfit Kingspoint, I was able to get a few training sessions in with the appropriate equipment. Other photo is the view out of my hotel room window 🙂
Off to the Arnold 2013….
Later this week, I will be lifting at the Arnold, in beautiful Columbus, Ohio, USA. Website: http://www.arnoldsportsfestival.com Hard to explain this event, as this is technically a local meet, but with lifters from all over the world coming to have a go. Approx. 220 of us are lifting in a three day meet, with Masters…
Belgian Masters championships and the Grand Prix Adry
This competition is always fun, and well organised, and usually involves large beer as prizes, although not for the last two years 🙁 But I always find my way to the bar and a cold Pink Killer after lifting in Enghien! Anyway, this was my third competition in four weeks, which really is too much…
League Championships – Flemish and Wallonian – 2012
OK, the last couple of years we have done both league championships together, due to lack of resources and numbers. Today, we had roughly a total of 21 athletes, give or take, as I have not seen the final papers yet. One guest from Germany (hi, Susanne!) did very well, and Anna came close to…
World Masters championships 2012, Lviv, Ukraine – Sept 16th, 2012
Just back, won the silver for my category, had an accident at the end of my warm-up where I slipped with the bar at 35kg slamming into my left shin at speed. This was just two minutes before I started my first snatch attempt, so I give many thanks to the IWF medical team for…
International Ladies Open – Waregem, Belgium
This is also an International Men’s Masters, with 21 Masters men and 7 women of various ages (ladies are shown below) from a whole host of countries, including 22 year old Thithuy Nguyen from the Vietnamese Olympic team, as she is training now in France prior to the Games. There is a picture of the…
