Mom's Comp Shout Outs!

The second annual Mama Said Knock You Out Competition had an amazing turn out. 

We are lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful people, and see so many awesome athletes in action.

Below are a few of the really stand out people that made this Competition such a memorable, and successful event:

Jisselle Assad of CrossFit Iron Will: Jisselle placed 1st in the first two wods on Saturday, and 2nd in the 3rd. She was the front runner going into the Final Wod, and placed 2nd overall!! Jisselle trains 20 hours a week, is the mother of 4, works two jobs, and is a full time nursing student with a 4.0 GPA! 

Julianne Drake of CrossFit Storrs: Mama Said Knock You Out 2 was Julianne's first CrossFit Competition, and she finished in the Top 5!

Angie Connors & Colleen Murphy of CrossFit Legitimus: Both Angie and Colleen PRed their snatch, getting 65# over head for the first time!

Marcie Hamel Of CrossFit Reckoning: Marcie had never snatched 65# before the Mom's Comp, and did it 10 times in the 3rd wod! Congrats Marcie!

Kevin O'Connell of CrossFit Legitimus: Kevin gave countless hours of his free time to help prepare our gym for the big day. He always goes above and beyond his duties as a Coach and we are all so thankful for his kindness.

Mikki Durkin of CrossFit 203: Mikki has a 5 month old daughter, and still managed to finish in 11th place! If you missed her on the rings in the final wod, you missed out! Truly inspiring!

Valerie Gordon of CrossFit Legitimus: Val spent her entire day off taking pictures of the Competition, and also wrote up some amazing press releases and articles for the local papers. Thanks Val!

Cheryl Trzaski and Kathleen Bellemare of CrossFit Strongtown: Both Cheryl and Kathleen were part of the over 50 crew, and showed amazing determination when they successfully flipped that huge tire!
 

Amanda Beaudreau of CrossFit Legitimus: For your endless patience on the day of the Comp, and all that you do to help CFL on a regular basis... we love you.

And last but not least:

Lori Assad of CrossFit Iron Will: Legitimus owes Lori a huge apology! Her scores were miscalculated and she should have been included in the top 15, making it into the Final Wod... but wasn't on account of our error. To make us feel even worse, we found out that amazingly, Lori just had a baby 6 WEEKS AGO! Talk about a strong athlete! Lori, you are an inspiration to Mothers everywhere, and we are so sorry that we didn't get to see you tackle that last wod!
