Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, how on earth are you doing? I hope you're well. So I was at a crossfit

competition at the weekend and I was due to compete but I couldn't because I was ill and I'll say I was upset I wasn't

it looked really hard but anyway it made me think again about the fueling strategies that

people use on the day and what people are trying to get out of these competitions.

Now, when you enter something like a crossfit competition or similar, you know, there's lots of things that are close to it

where there's well you can even class rugby sevens as similar to cross fit because you're

playing for 10 to 15 minutes resting for for an hour, two hours, then playing again.

And it's tough because it's all on, all in, and then you rest and then you have to get yourself

back up for that. So I just want to talk about my experience of

last doing an event like this myself, the strategies that I used and whether you can use anything

yourself and the reason why I say that is because when

I was at an event in the spring I was exhibiting there with awesome supplements and a lot of people were coming up to me as early as midday going

oh I'm knackered like my legs are heavy feel tired if you've got anything that can give me a boost and it kind of made me think like

you've only been doing this you've only done like two wads maybe even three

and you're already like quite beat up.

So it made me think, can I help with speaking about the day

or maybe the build up to the day and how I did it last time

and whether you could tweak anything to improve things.

So if we're going to look at a day like this, the first and foremost thing is what are we doing

it for? Are we there to win? Are we there to just compete and enjoy it?

And the reason I ask that question is you then need to maybe slightly tweak your approach

because if you're there to just compete do you need to go
