The Buns and Guns team featured veteran competitor Annabelle Legault of Vankleek Hill, who assists with coaching crossfit athletes at the Lachute club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe competition took us out of our comfort zone, which was good,\u201d added Legault, regarding the action over the two days.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Palooza 2023 saw more than 400 athletes gather at the university sportsplex, along with a large number of supporters. competitors formed more than 100 teams from Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was the only event of this scale to take place in La Belle Province this year,\u201d said Raphael Gauthier-Marchand, owner of Syn3rgy Performance, which organized the competition.<\/p>\n<p>CrossFit involves high-intensity interval training in both cardiovascular and strength exercises. CrossFit competition takes those interval training exercises as the basis for timed competitions among participants.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the competition consisted of mixed teams of four competitors: two women and two men each. The weekend included six events for all teams which were ranked in three categories: RX Standards, Intermediate Standards and Scaled Standards. Each team had to participate in six events spread over the two days. Participating in the category Scaled, team Generation XYZ was missing a team member and did not make the cut. In the category Intermediate, Smurf Fit finished a close second. Apex Fit sweated their way up to ninth place, and Buns and Guns placed 17th overall in a large field of competitors.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the registration fee was donated to the Quebec Cancer Foundation with $2500 raised by the end of the competion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a Vankleek Hill face on one of the teams at the Ninth Edition CrossFit Summer Palooza competition over the summer at the Universti\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res.
