StrongHer Games: epic vibes, incredible energy and 40 strong women
Now that the dust has settled and we’re already gearing up for the next StrongHer Games (have you put your name on the waitlist yet?), we wanted to share a recap of the epic comp that took place in June!
The sun was shining at The StrongHer Space on 18th June as we held our first StrongHer Games for teams of four.
Forty fabulous humans
Ten teams
One van pull
One worm
And one epic day.
Teams met at around 10 am, and the atmosphere was a mix of excitement and nerves for the activities ahead. Some teams had been practicing for months; one team, in particular, met on the morning of the Games!
Warm-ups were done, and demonstrations of all the events were complete - so they were ready to go!
The tunes were blaring as everyone got into position for the first event. Each event was 15 minutes long. Some events were timed, focusing on endurance. Others were focused on reps, highlighting their strength and real determination.
Now everyone had gotten into the swing of it; everyone seemed to relax into things - although they were very grateful for a break between each event! It allowed them to cheer on other teams (we have an award for best cheerleader), put their feet up, and grab a protein shake available to order all day.
The favourite event of the day seemed to be the #vanlife - which we weren't surprised with - how many times can you say that you pulled a van down the road?! Everyone said that they felt like badasses - and it showed!
Unsurprisingly, the least favourite event of the day was 'worm life.'
When asked to describe StrongHer Games in three words, people said 'challenging,' 'fun,' 'amazing vibes, ' okay - that's four words, but still - you understand.
