Interview: Mónica Cid Nobre, Team CrossFit Opo

Team CrossFit OPO are Velites’ sponsored pick for the weekend. We caught up with Mónica this week to get an idea of how she’s feeling going in.

How did you get into CrossFit, and when?

I started CrossFit in November 2013 in Portimão. I tried a class and fell in love with the sport.

Tell us about where you train and who coaches you.

I started training at CrossFit OPO two years ago. Head coach Luis Ferreira prepares all of the WODs. I love that box, it’s my home, my second family.

What are you looking forward to the most at the PromoFit Games?

I’m curious with wods for couples. It is the first edition and still do not know what to expect, it is all a surprise still.

Tell us about the CrossFit scene in Portugal (or your local area).

We still have a lot of growing to do, but we are in a good way. CrossFit came here suddenly but it looks as though it’s here to stay — and it’s evolving fast.

What do you think of the Velites Fire 2.0?

Spectacular! Very light and agile!

Favorite movements (one’s you’re hoping for)?

For me, handstand walk and hang cleans.

Hardest WOD you’ve ever done (or can think of)?

Open 15.5 (27-21-15-9) Thrusters and calorie row.

Would you rather…

Double Fran or Kalsu?

Double Fran! (21-15-9) Thrusters and pull-ups (x2 rounds)

Double Grace or Heavy Grace?

Heavy Grace, no doubt! (Clean and jerk, 60 reps)

Chelsea or Cindy?

Cindy (20 Min AMRAP) 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats.

Helen or Jackie?

Helen (x3 rounds) 400m run, 21 kettlebell swings, 12 pull-ups.

Velites wishes the best of luck to everyone competing at PromoFit this weekend (but especially CrossFit OPO!) and don’t forget, discounts on everything, plus the chance to WIN by showing us what you’ve got in the tank.
