2011 SECT CrossFit Team Throwdown

Location: SECT CrossFit, 118 W. Main St., Baltic, CT 06330

Date: Sunday, October 2, 2011

Time: 9am (registration begins at 8am)

Divisions: Masters (35+), Varsity (Rx’d), JV (scaled/modified), Freshman (16-18 yr. old)

Registration fee: $20 per teammate. Includes event t-shirt and BBQ.

Registration Deadline: Friday, September 23, 2011.

Description: Teams of 4 (2 men, 2 women) compete in a CrossFit-style competition consisting of 3 separate events. Each teammate will be required to participate in each event. Therefore, each teammate will be required to perform the movements according to the appropriate division standards, so choose your division wisely!

This is a novice-intermediate level competition designed to help promote our facility and other local CrossFit gyms, introduce novice-intermediate trainees to CrossFit-style competition, and foster camaraderie among fitness enthusiasts (namely CrossFitters). Anyone will be able to participate in this competition, guaranteed.

Events: All 3 events will be announced 1 month (30 days) prior to the competition. In the meantime, some of the movements that you should be training are:

1. Olympic lifts (Snatch, Clean & Jerk)

2. Short-distance running with and without odd objects (400m, 600m, and 800m)

3. Odd object lifting from the ground (sandbags, stones, tire flips, etc.)

4. Basic calisthenics (pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, Burpees, etc.)

More info will follow as we get all the kinks worked out, so stay tuned....
