Guys, nice to see you again through this platform, I hope everything goes well in your lives and if you don't, know that you are in my prayers, trust that everything will be better at the right time. Today we are going to get a little fitness, haha but I think only in reading.

On Saturday, August 31, a competition was held where ordinary people, like you and me, left their faith in themselves high, it is not easy to make a challenge like this if you do not trust your preparation and volition, some successfully completed the entire circuit, others vomited or passed out when they were at the limit, but they all fought to get results that exceeded their own expectations. They have my admiration.


Event Souvenirs for Participants

It was 8-9am, at the Andres Bello park in El Tigre, everyone was excited, anxious and full of energy; as people arrived, the nervous smiles, the companionship and the families in which the teams were formed were more noticeable. Friends and relatives went to see and support those who were already their champions beyond the results.

Now, I present to you the organizers of the event in the photo below, Berkys Rujano and Edwin Bastidas of the Team Zona Fit, although it should be noted that there were many hands that made the 4x8 Challenge possible. Registration, logistics, development of the event, attention of the athletes, team of paramedics available were many of the key tasks for the success and satisfaction of all.


Berkys and Edwin

A few minutes was the time between the instructions, given by Edwin to the athletes, and the start of the challenge. Enough time for the necessary warm-up and stretching, plus words of encouragement for everyone.


Time of Instructions and Warm Up

These are some of the Teams that participated in the event, but there were also individual participants. An event that brought together people from El Tigre, Puerto La Cruz, Anaco.


Participating Teams

And so began the CHALLENGE !! First the series corresponding to the Advanced Level Mixed Duplas, followed by the Intermediate Level and the Rookie, a total of 5 series. After 10am the competition began for the Individuals, who would have a similar distribution: Rookie, Intermediate and Advanced; alternating series of girls and boys. We all had our eyes on the performance of each participant, there were exciting, distressing and joyful moments, even without competing we felt full of adrenaline just by seeing. In the following images I will leave the tour, indicating the 8 tests that made it up.
