Two Days of Glory – Just TRI –IT!
Guest Post By Tiffany Rae (Tri-Fitness Competitor)
Train, sweat, diet, almost sleep, and repeat. At last, the great moment has arrived! You’ve dieted, worked your tail off (or up), gotten nails done, hair done, paid for the expensive airline ticket, paid for the host hotel and your moment of fame is here!
You waltz on stage, nerves trying to settle, pose front, smile, pose side right, pose rear, and pose side left. Waiting, three seconds feel like eternity and you wonder if the judges heard your stomach growl, as you hold for the comparison with the other models. Exit stage! Whew! Two minutes have passed and you can now exhale!
About an hour later you come off the emotional adrenaline high. A victory is celebrated for all your hard work. Not to diminish the accomplishment in any way, but what would you rather have: two minutes of fame for months of training? Or, shall we consider two days of glory?
Two days of glory? Good answer! TRI-IT!
TriFit Challenge has maintained 17 years of obstacle course ruggedness mixed with feminine beauty and strength. Men, women, and children can participate in the fun held in Tampa, Florida.
Day 1, bench 60% (women) or 80% (men) of your body weight and then find some energy for the evening with the physique and/or model round. More than two minutes later, you can change into costume for a power-house fitness routine, another two minutes of intense high impact strength, cardio, flexibility and of course, entertainment.
Day 2, (have your muscles recovered?) READY, SET, GO! Go for the obstacle course, where there will be real-life characters as fast as FLASH barreling over rope walls, hurdles, cargo nets and more! Tired? There’s no time, pump up for the box jumps, just 50 as fast as you can (and did I mention there are 50 –year- olds as fast as lightning? Hold onto your stars Wonder Woman!) Get-up-and-go, and go some more, because there is no stopping until you are finished with the shuttle runs. At long last! You can rest by the poolside. That’s it, take in the smell of the relaxing waves from the blue ocean and enjoy some well-earned down time before awards. You can reflect upon how well your months of training paid off for two days of vigorous glory.
By the way, if you still have any sort of liveliness to your limbs, promoter Al Rosen has added a new event (230 yard True Grit Challenge) where you go over 5 foot walls, bear crawl through shoots, kettle bell swings, tire flips, farmer carry, heavy rope, hurdles, etc. There’s no doubt as to why “Challenge” is in the title!
TriFitness Worlds are June 27-28, 2014
