Twins Wrap Up

What a fantastic weekend the 2019 Tropic Thunder Twins event was!  In all we had 155 teams register across the 2 days and compete in a number of super competitive divisions.  Thank you to all the competitors for helping make the weekend such a great experience and creating a magic atmosphere.

To our massive team of volunteers, The Red Army, we can't thank you enough for your role in the weekend.  Put simply, there was no weekend without you guys so please no how lucky we know we are to have a community like the one we have!

Thanks to our sponsors Again Faster, Fit Aid and Gorilla Health for providing some of our prizes for this years event.  Then there is our local business owners and members Sally at The Feel Good Foodie, Ellen at Myoluxe Townsville and Jimmy at the Australian Nutrition Centre, thank you for helping us out with some great prizes also!

We put that weekend behind us and now draw our focus on to the CrossFit Open which is now only 3 and a half weeks away.  Friday Night lights is going to be massive this year in the new box and we can't wait for it to arrive.  Just like the weekend, the Open is a great opportunity to benchmark your training, assess your weaknesses and challenge your mates.  If you have any questions about the Open see one of the coaches to get some more information.  CrossFit Townsville's presence in the Open is always one of the biggest in the country and after all we do have the reigning national champion so let's continue that tradition and get around it again.  You can register for the Open at games.crossfit.com.
