The
Team Event at Regionals is always the highlight because it is about more than
just the individuals, particularly in the last event, which was the notorious
"worm."
Two British Teams competing to get to the CrossFit
Games were CrossFit JST led by Steve Fawcet and CrossFit Espri de Corps lead by
Tom Wyles.
This was the first time that a British Team made it
through to the CrossFit Games.
Team JST won the Team
event, which means they are the first British Team to reach the CrossFit Games.
Not only did JST have an amazing team, they also had the most fantastic supporters in the stadium!
Team EDC came a
respectable 9th place, which meant that there were TWO British Teams in the Top
Ten.
We were happy to provide Physiotherapy Treament to both Teams. Below Alex Rees using Compex to aid recovery post workout.

Esprit de Corps, the Bulletproofbodies team salute you both.

It was great to see my Coaches in action, proving they not only talk the talk but they also walk the walk. Well done boys!
Compex UK and Dale Walker Physio had an wonderful time treating CrossFit athletes at the Body Power Games 2017.
