Well, a big level with lots of big teams from france and other countries.
7th place overall at the end of the week end. Bad start on saturday morning… But we stayed focus and we earned points on Obstacle Race at the end of Saturday. Then on Sunday, we had a better mood. All these Invictus trainings allow us to be strong along 2 or 3 days of comp.
Lets see what will happen on our next 3 comps in end September and October.

Great work! Time is solid but what’s the most impressive part is the way you attacked the workout. Not only are you going flats but you’re learning to pace to our capabilities. Great work!
