June 21, 2017 sports A fairly laidback competition comes to Seaforth Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor Degree CrossFit Seaforth is excited to have been recently selected as the hosting gym in the region for the Festivus Games - rather than focusing on world-class athletes, this competition has a more laid-back concept. New to the fitness world in 2011, the contest has flung full force to recognize the intermediates as well as the novices; the website states that they make about 95 per cent of athletes involved in the sport. Regardless of whether you've been involved in training exercises for six months or more or are just a beginner, all are welcome this October. In 2016, after tallying up the numbers, it's believed that 16,000 people partici- pated in the event; a large increase after welcoming about 70 athletes in the inau- gural year. Having previously com- peted in the Festivus Games a few years back, owner of Degree CrossFit Seaforth, Kaleda Con- nell knows what this means to up and corning competitors who want to challenge themselves in a relaxed atmosphere or conversely just long for a good time. "That's what competition does, any time that you train towards a specific goal makes you better -mentally and physically," Connell said last Thursday. Connell has sent out emails inviting any mem- bers from various gyms in the area to compete; train- ing with unfamiliar faces is valuable to one's growth in fitness, she indicated. It's a way of life for the young gym entrepreneur, one that soaks up her time when she's out of town. "I'm probably the worst (holiday person) of all- time, I stop at random gyms the whole time," said Connell. And that's something she urges her own members to attempt, "I want people to feel comfortable going to these other gyms, just being in an environment with people they don't see everyday." There will be two -person teams of the same sex with three divisions, this includes novice, intermedi- ate, and masters, Con- nell said this will alleviate the stress on competing solo. Awards will be given to the top three athletes in each division for both male and female classes.
