With zero expectation DAn qualified for the finals and went on to win the Master 45+ Scaled event.

    Before family and work got in the way Dan was a National standard athlete over 400m, a former Midland Champion over this distances. But it is CrossFit that has enabled his fitness and strength to return and now he wishes to give back and help others who want to either get their fitness back or like him feel fitter than they ever have.
