The Solent Adaptive Games 2024: My Experience

As the title says, this post will explain my thoughts on the third and current Adaptive Games which took place exactly 1 week ago on September 8th 2024 in Southampton City, Hampshire.


As for my team's efforts, we gained 3rd place within the first WOD (Workout of the Day) Heat Three, under the team name: The Barrett Boys.


Most of my efforts focused on maximising pacing myself with my partner; who was from a CrossFit gym in Blackheath, London. Most of my exercise data was sent forward to the organiser's accounts; those of Wodaptive.


The main schedule was as follows: Leave home on Saturday morning, around 10:00 to 10:30 AM for Southampton City, arriving at 14:00 to 14:30 BST, unpacking at our airBnB before heading for an early dinner at 18:00, returning to our apartment at around 19:30 to 20:00.


Sunday 8th September: GAME DAY.

From 08:15, my team was registered, with the Athletic Debrief occurring at 09:00, WOD demonstration at 09:30 and WOD 1 Heat 1 starting the games at 10:00.


My team's schedule was as follows:

  • Heat 3 - WOD 1 10:40

  • Break until 12:30 - 12:35

  • Heat 3 - WOD 2 12:40

  • Break until 14:40 - 14:45

  • Heat 3 - WOD 3 14:50

  • Awards Ceremony and Final Photos


To avoid any issues with conflicting schedules and a busy drive back home, we decided to forego heading home on Sunday evening and stayed an extra day, heading home mid-morning the following Monday, my gym session at 14:00 being cancelled.


That's all for now but I'm going to be training for Solihull on February 16 2025.

I'll see you there Alt Movement.


As for those who wish to see my progress at the event, those photos will be posted to my Instagram.


I'll see you on the other side :).
