NZ Nationals 2023
Our Nats team did us so proud! They are the true definition of exactly what my gym is. Through the weekend, they supported each other, hugged each other, respected each other, gave each other shit (including their own supporters) ๐๐๐ . They laughed, they cried and they literally dragged each other through until the very end.
This team was thrown together 6 weeks out and sometimes that showed, but that's ok.... that's how we roll, we don't like doing anything the easy way cause that's boring ๐
We were showered with love and support from our families and our members that traveled to Hamilton, for that we are thankful! We are thankful for our members who stayed behind and watched the team through the screen (on the lives and all the messages we got!)
Highlights for each person were:
๐Watching @hala_tukaki run/waddle
๐Watching @kaitymaxwell tell her story about dying on the 4km and Tony carrying her through it
๐Watching @kristinbrehaut waiting for Tori to cross the finish line (so they could cross together) even though Tori was already at the finish line waiting for Kristin
๐Watching @torijaynehenson_ pull Hala out of the water like she didn't swim off and leave him to drown
๐watching @rwilli__ complete an imaginary set of handstand walks then having to do another set because he made up his own
๐watching @tonypetero tell Hala that if he ran faster they could of finished the worm wod
I love this team, I love the banter, I loved that they stuck by each other the whole time but gave each other so much shit ๐ for us it's not even about competing really, we just like being part of it all!
They've managed to inspire about 140 something members so right this very moment we have
7 scaled teams
5 RX teams and
3 elite teams ๐๐๐๐๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Thanks for doing us proud Nats team 23!
