CrossFit 12-12-12 Throwdown

Event Date: August 2016

On Saturday, 6th August 2016, CrossFit 12-12-12 of Trinidad hosted their very first CrossFit Throwdown. Head coach Levar Greaves, along with LPCF coaches Russell Grant, Kim Sealy and Janine Cooper and LPCF member Kamal Patel were all present to compete in this event.  Also present were CrossFit athletes from Aruba, Guyana, Jamaica, Miami, St. Lucia and St. Maarten to name a few.

The day was long and grueling – the pain, physical exhaustion and mental fatigue were real! The event consisted of three mandatory WODs, followed by two additional WODs once the athlete made the required standing. Our LPCF competitors visited that “dark place” one too many times. Nevertheless, they pushed past their limits and came out on top! Congratulations to each one of them!

The final results for our competitors were as follows:
Men Rx Division
Russell Grant  – 2nd Place
Levar Greaves – 5th Place
Kamal Patel –  26th Place

Ladies Rx Division
Kim Sealy – 2nd Place
Janine Cooper – 4th Place

Barbados IslandFit Games

Event Date: May 2016

On Saturday, 7th May 2016, we had eleven athletes compete at the Barbados IslandFit Games (B.I.G.). The team consisted of our two coaches, Russell Grant and Kim Sealy along with nine of our members, Michelle Foster, Simone Kirton, Amanda Morris, Mia Ward, Damian Alleyne, Gerston Blenman, Rowelle Bellman, Mark Jordan and Kamal Patel. It was a long, hot and extremely challenging day. Despite the harsh conditions and the tough competition from CrossFit 12-12-12 (Trinidad) and other affiliates within the region, our athletes displayed great determination, exceptional sportsmanship and outstanding performances. Our green machines dominated not only on the competitive field, but also on the spectator line. Our members came out to bleed green and support our athletes – after all, we are one…we are family… and it’s just what we do!

We had 3 athletes from each division (male & female), finish in the top 5.

Females:
Kim Sealy – 3rd place
Michelle Foster – 4th place
Mia Ward – 5th place

Males:
Russell Grant – 3rd place
Damian Alleyne – 4th place
Mark Jordan – 5th place

Our facility was also announced the top affiliate for most competitors at B.I.G.!

Congratulations once again to our athletes who did an incredible job and a big thanks to our members who came out to cheer them on!
