On Saturday, October 5th, athletes from Aevitas and other regional gyms showed up at Round Lake to throw down on the competition floor! It was a day filled with PRs, shaky legs, and a few cold plunges too! Check out how your favorite athletes fared in the event recap below!
The Athletes
16 men and 9 women came to compete on Saturday! These athletes represented Aevitas Fitness, CrossFit Shatter, CrossFit Beyond, and BarnFit! Each athlete brought their unique strengths to the day. Several seasoned weightlifters were in the group, providing some real inspiration on the platform! And there were several fire-breathing CrossFit athletes in the group, making for quite the spectacle in the CrossFit WOD event!
The Competition
The day began with a mock Olympic-style weightlifting meet. Athletes stepped up to the platform individually to attempt a Snatch and Clean & Jerk. The barbell weight increased incrementally until all athletes in each session completed three attempts in each lift.
The women were up first for the Snatch, followed immediately by the men’s Snatch session. After a short break, the women returned for their Clean & Jerk session, again followed by the men’s Clean & Jerks.
After the lifting concluded, athletes took a short break while event coordinators and volunteers reset the gym for the short and brutal CrossFit WOD event three! Once the room was set, athletes were briefed and then split into heats to complete the final workout of the day.
The final WOD consisted of a 6-minute AMRAP, in which athletes were asked to bike (50 cal/35 cal), complete 50 (!!) empty barbell thrusters, and then finally complete 25 burpee box jump-overs before heading back to the bike. Only one athlete (Mary Rommer) completed all of the reps in round 1 and went back to the bike for the second time, though she was unable to achieve a full calorie before the time expired.
The Results
Everyone came to give it their all on Saturday, and it showed! The determination and athleticism seen at this event was impressive!
Athletes were ranked based on their placement in each event (the Snatch, the Clean & Jerk, and the CrossFit WOD). First place in an event received 100 points, second place received 95 points, and so on. The rankings of each event were added together to find our winners!

The Winners
At the end of the competition, the top three men and women each received a prize. All podium athletes received a gift certificate from Resolute PT, as well as some really epic Yeti merchandise!
