It has to be my first Throwdown in 2014! 3 months after starting I did my first in-house competition, and well, I got to find out the true Crossfit Jozi spirit! Last person in the workout, 30 overhead squats to go and all 70 odd people surrounded me and supported me through every rep until I finished! It was scary and exhilarating at the same time, but one of my best memory’s yet.

List Some Of Your Big Goals.
Right now my focus is pushing myself to do level 2 while in class and also adding 1kg to my barbell to help me overcome those numbers that I’m stuck on. The ultimate Goal for me is being able to perform each lifting, gymnastics and conditioning movement that we cover in CrossFit.
