Strongman Challenge Weekend

I felt like a proud mother as Nursyazwani walked up the stage to receive her 3rd position medal. She's done good for herself. Only 3 months of training and she's 3rd. Wonder what a year training would turn her into???
 
As for me, I just had a lot of fun heaving and shouting and pushing on others. It was an honour to go side by side Feng Yi, top Asian CrossFitter. So cool, calm and composed. How's that for a pocket rocket?

 

Cheryl got so strong and so quick, I'm equally proud of this baby girl. This energizer bunny is always happy and laughing and cracking silly jokes, I'm not surprise if this woman will go on to bigger accomplishments in life. Sophia's strength is amazing and I hope she keeps doing this sport and as for Shi Qi, watch out for this bada$$, I'm sure she'll be back for more.

Its been a great weekend, especially when I see my family and newly-founded extended family through AlphaFit come to give us support. That really means a lot to me. Support and Cheers.


  
Goh Yeow Hui. He is an angel in the form of a ... a ...  shouting monster. He's there supporting everyone regardless of where they came from. He helped Shi Qi (from team iron behemoths) and Sophia (Genesis) with their jeep pull technique during training, he gave me and Wani ample advices and encouragement, I saw him give words of advice to Feng. Don't even get me started with Cheryl, his prodigy :-) This man. He has a HUGE heart. One of the biggest heart I ever seen. Make that one of the biggest heart I have ever FELT. So thank you, Sir. Its been an honour to have trained under you.



 Sulaiman did extremely well, despite dropping weight, changing jobs (which required longer hours 9am-8pm and bigger projects) helping me with the gym business and all other errands as well as handling his first love, SGTitans. This man. He never gives up. Even in the lowest of times, he never gives up. The reporter asked "Do you guys ever fight?" My reply was "every other day." He went "what was it about?" .... And then it dawned on me. The most little, simplest, unimportant matter. That's what we fought about. Its silly, really. But like my car pull event, we fall and then we get up and keep going. Our bond is definitely stronger. He has helped me so much, he's my strength and pillar when everything is not going the way I want it to be. And so all the fights, big or small, that we had? Well, like what The Rock would say "IT Doesn't Matter."


 Next Up - Belgorod, Russia. Here I come, Sergey Merkulin.

Everything I saw that day is Love, Support and Humility. You have done well as a fighter - your never say die attitude, your never give up strong will. You have done even greater in nurturing future champion(s) - believing in them, guiding and motivating them. I am really happy for you Sister! Congratulations!!
