The Fittest In Cape Town!! The Big Day!

Zuriah Davis: Top 20!!

Focusing on the Target...

Saturday February 11 2012: 110 Competitors squared up against each other @ Camps Bay High School.

Aside form a massive case of nerves Zee faced up to the challenge she had signed herself up for. 

Starting her morning off with those dreaded "L" sits Zuriah managed a respectable 10 second increase over her PB during training. So it was with Lots of smiley faces that I received a text from her with her time, as I made my way to the Contest.

Zuriah and the Ladies from Ballistix Fitness!

Events 1 and 2 were featured inside the High School Gymnasium and consisted of:

• Ladder - clean and press: Incrementally increasing weight - until no more lifts could be performed.
• "L" - Seats
• Sand Bag Sprints
• Double Under Skips

After the first round contestants were moved outside onto the field, where the next events were to take place. Having been separated into heats after the first round rankings - Zee being in heat 5 - the next event was laid out. With a 9 min time limit each contestant had to complete the following:

• 1000 meter Row - Resistance on the machine of the contestants own choice.
• 30 burpees onto a 20kg plate.
• 40m lunge walks with a 5kg plate overhead - 12kg's for the guys.
• 400m sprint to finish.

This is How We Roll!

True Story?!

The Course!

Lets Do this!!!

Zee Found herself up against some very stiff competition. Ladies who were just as determined every step of the way! I spent the first 4:17 sec playing angel over her shoulder, pushing her to edge on when she felt she couldn't during the Row! What a performance from her! Digging deep she delivered a very respectable time.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

Now those Burpees...

Really? 

SERIOUSLY _ BURPEES?!

This section in the training was absolutely killer on the legs - but finding that second wind she pushed as hard as she could! 30 Burpees and 35 meters of lunging later the judges called time. 

So unfortunately she didn't get to finish the event - In fact very few of the ladies did - Barr an Olympic level Rower who won the event in exactly 9 mins

Number 15

And TIME...

And so it was That Zuriah Davis Placed 19th out of 40 competitors @ FiCT 2012! Looking forward to killing it in 2013!!! 

Organised. Committed. Determined.
