Hopper Recap
Whaaaat was that?! The 4th Annual Atlantic Hopper Event went down in the books as one of the biggest CrossFit events to hit the East Coast! We had 151 people registered to compete (up from 104 last year) and hundreds of spectators jammed into CrossFit Moncton to cheer on their family and friends.
There were some VERY impressive performances from both the men and women. But the highlight of my day was watching the kid’s heat. I think some dirt blew into my eye when I heard the roof blow off from all the cheering for the kiddos. They are the future and they are going to kick ass!
Thanks to the generous sponsors! The prizes are getting bigger and better every year. And thank you affiliates for donating prizes.
The judges did an outstanding job this year. Even though I haven’t seen some of you since last year’s Hopper, it doesn’t seem like it. Always a pleasure to catch up with you.
Thank you to the volunteers for your tireless work all day. From re-stocking the washrooms, to “directing” traffic and changing equipment, the entire day was flawless. I received so many comments on how smooth the day went, and I owe it all to you.
Great energy at the gym yesterday! Thanks to all that came out to cheer.
Now to start planning next year… expect to see another twist!
The outstanding performance by the kiddos
Was really fun to volunteer! Next year, I’m definately participating!
Proud of you guys! Great job yesterday. Your the Bomb Kevin. Thanks to you and Joana for all your hard work.
I’m still on a high from yesterday! What a great day!
It was a great day. I enjoyed watching my fellow CFM crossfitters kill themselves doing that WOD. It was a beauty of a WOD.
I feel I got to know people from CFM a little bit better. This is likely because I followed most
of you into to the washroom!
Thanks again to Kevin and Joanna. It as fun.
Soooo funny Laura!!
Laura, you crack me up! Too funny!
Is anyone else having troubles with their legs!? Friggin stairs…lol
Thinking about selling the two story house and buying a bungalow!! Lol
Did Some one say Selling ???
There is a reason I haven’t gotten out of bed yet….LOL
Going to the bathroom is painful…..
Hahahahahaha painful on the legs that is LOL
Don’t worry, Laura wil be in there to help ya out. She’s like a sneeky bathroom ninja.
I even admit I was starting to get creepy with my washroom duties. Hey Chantal I am a nurse if you are having problems going to the bathroom!
Hahahaha thank Laura but it’s the LEGS that hurt !!! Arghh you know when it makes sense in your head but after, you read your comment again are realize it really was not clear !!!
Thanks for a great day! We had a lot of fun and it was awesome to see everyone again. Glad I was judging though..that workout looked brutal. 😉
Best day ever!!! So much fun…thanks to Kevin and Jo for organizing and to ALL the volunteers!!!!!! Awesome!!! I think I might have Rhabdo!!!!! LOL

Too funny Christine!
What a GREAT day!! Thanks to Kevin and Jo for organizing such a great event!!! Had a Blast 🙂
Amazing day yesterday. Kevin and Jo you guys did a great job organizing a huge event. Just goes to show how passionate you both are about Crossfit. Looking forward to next year and to see what you guys do to top this years event.
Another great Hopper in the books! HUGE thanks to all of the volunteers and judges, wouldn’t be possible without all of you!
Another Hopper gone! What a fun day, so much energy in one space! Thanks Kevin and Joanna for organizing, and good job everyone!
Seeing so many people going out and giving it everything they had, it has given me this crazy idea that next year, that could be me.
CrossFit is doing amazing things to break down the barriers/limits of how I am starting to see myself in terms of the possibilities of fitness.
So, from a spectator’s perspective, thank you Kevin, Jo, and everyone else, for that! 🙂
Great day, Awesome event. Super athletes. Amazing volunteers. Spectacular spectators/cheerleaders. Kevin and Joanna you did a great job organizing another successful Hopper event. Congrats to all. Did I mentipn every part of me hurts today.
You did great Heather!! You are such an inspiration!!
Yesterday was indeed one of the highlights of my summer and I am having an awesome summer so that is definitely saying something. My body is pretty sore today as well Heather! I had to tell myself at least 10 times that I should go and mow the lawn!
Wow… where should I start ? First, thank you Jo and Kevin for the AMAZING work you did organizing this event. It really was flawless !!! Everything went smooth (heats, equipement, food, water, massage, prizes, etc.). Even if I still have a hard time walking and even if I finished in 49th place (pppfffhahahaha) I will always remember yesterday ! It really was one of the biggest accomplishment in my life. I’m really proud that I did not scale it and that I was able to finish with a score of 66. It may not seem like a lot but for me, after just 4 months of CF, it’s just crazy 🙂 Soooo proud of my sister Nadine to wow… What SHE achieved in the last couple of months still amaze me. Good job everybody !! I will never forget this !!!! 😀
You are a little rock star! So impressed that you took this on after only doing crossfit for 4 months.
Awww love you GIll 🙂 Thanks !
…and you DID beat Nadine….just sayin’ 😉
By a big 3 reps haha !!! Love you Nadine 😛
Thats not very nice Blake… I was 180lbs not long ago, and my sister’s been trainning long before she started crossfit so yeah, Im proud on my score! lol 🙂
Grant told her the same thing yesterday so yeah… You’re getting it! lol
Just saying…;)
You SHOULD be proud!! You both did awesome…and the WOD was exceptionally brutal! It was really cool to see both of you competing!!
hehe…thanks Blake! 🙂
Yes, it was not as easy as I though it was gonna be…lol 🙂
Thanks Kevin and Jo for hosting such a great event and to all the volunteers for helping wouldn’t be possible without you guys. Great job to all the competitors working through how insanely hot it was was in there very hard WOD that was. Loved meeting new people from other crossfit gyms and seeing others who i haven’t seen in years. Can’t wait to see what comes up next year and how many people that will be competing going to be awesome!
Sounds like another success, speaks volumes of the CF community… Yep even though in Manitoba and working night shift Friday… pleasant surprise graced my Iphone when I woke up Saturday, a Pic the Hopper WOD, followed by the instruction to DO IT!! You know who you are, and thanks, I will. Cheers and congrats to all participants!
