Doug Weber was the much deserved recipient of the spirit if CrossFit award this last weekend.  Here is a young guy with a lot of potential and a heart of a lion.  Doug competed in the level 2 men’s division and was doing quite well until the last lift in the shoulders to overhead anyhow workout.  Doug dislocated his shoulder on a 245# jerk that went wrong, no one could have seen this coming nor prepared themselves for such an incident, but Doug took it all in stride.  Doug was shipped of to the hospital and later returned to the gym to see how the events were going.  Not only that but Doug being a true competitor asked if he could continue competing, which was definitely out of the question.  The heart and drive were there but the body obviously needed time to recover.

Injured or not Doug wanted to continue, but sadly we were forced to have him sit out the remaining workouts.  I am 100% sure that Doug will be eagerly anticipating next years competition and will be back ready to chew concrete and let it loose, but for now we wish Doug a speedy recovery and a swift return to CrossFit.  Good effort this weekend Doug and we all hope to see you soon.

Doug recieved a 16kg kettlebell, a home pull-up station, a set of paralettes, an addidas jacket and a CrossFit T-shirt.  You deserved it big guy!

Once again I wanted to send out a very big thank-you to all the volunteer judges who helped out on the weekend during the Sask CrossFit Challenge.  Without all of you the weekend would not have been the same, actually it wouldn’t have happened at all.
