Three of Guyana’s best CrossFit athletes will represent the Golden Arrowhead at the ‘Barbados Island Fit Games’ this weekend.
The trio, Jamie McDonald, Christian McRae and Guyana’s fittest man, Dillon Mahadeo, along with team manager, Angelina De Abreu winged out yesterday to the Land of the Flying Fish on a quest to do the nation proud.
The two-day event which will be held at Divi South Winds Beach resort, is the fourth annual ‘Barbados Island Fit Games’, and attracts CrossFit athletes from all around the Region.
McDonald expects the local gladiators to give it their best shot despite the elements of the unknown tasks and the high calibre of the competition.
“Because we didn’t know the events in advance we had to prepare for everything that could conceivably show up in a competition of this nature. This made our preparations both exhausting and fun and forced us to get out of our comfort zones.”
McDonald added, “We are happy with how training went and are ready to give it our best on the field. Some of the athletes that we faced in Trinidad’s CrossFit 12 12 12 Throw Down last year will be there, so we expect the competition to be tight.”
