I Survived Sectionals!

Brandon Tullos · 03-09-2010, 12:49 PM

I attended the Deep South sectionals for Al/TN/MS and made it out alive, barely. I must say that there are some incredible athletes out there and to those who moved on i commend you. I ended up getting 37th out of 70 which i consider good since i had not been training or properly preparing for such an event. If anyone has any doubts about doing a sectional just go ahead and do it, especially if its not too big an expense. The experience and support from the crowd itself is worth it. I wish the best of luck to all who move on to their respective regionals and the games. All i can say is be watching out for me next year.

Great job.

The owner of the local box I might start attending, went there and placed 10th over all. He's going to the regionals.

You mean Michael McElroy? I know him and Tyler Smith the other owner...they are both really good trainers you will get a lot out of it.

Yes, Michael is who I talked to. I gave him a rather weird request, hopefully he can do it.

I'd love to start working out up there. It's only about 10 minutes from the house too. Perfect spot (for myself).

70 competitors? The SoCal sectional had 180. Was yours set up the same way for qualifying, with the top 20 men and top 20 women advancing?

First WOD: 3 RFT: 50m Sprint, 10 Burpees, 7 155# Powercleans
Second WOD: 12,9,6,3 275# Deadlift with 40,30,20,10 wall balls between.
Third WOD: 5 RFT 400m Run, 25 Pull Up
Fourth WOD: 15 min AMRAP 5 Handstand push ups, 7 squat snatch w/ 95#, 10 box jump 20".

And no it was the top 15 from men and women that advanced to Regionals.
