In-House CrossFit Competition 2016

The Easton In-House CrossFit competition was a huge success and a great time for everyone involved! The event was held Saturday, June 4th at the Boulder CrossFit gym. Our athletes participated to test the strength and speed that they work on every day at the gym. Thirty of our best athletes participated this past Saturday morning in teams of two, and completed three workouts and a floater event. The first event of the day was three minutes of one partner on the rowing machine, performing a maximum calorie row while the other partner held onto a heavy deadlift. When the deadlift bar was dropped, partners switched positions to finish the remaining time. After a minute of rest, each partner performed four 40-second rounds of as many burpees as possible for a combined total score. The competition was rounded out with tire flips, sled pulls, wall balls, snatches, overhead squats, rope climbs, and more!

When the day was over, we had some amazing performances and accomplishments to be proud of. Winners and participants all received prizes from local businesses and supporters in Boulder. These included Colorado Nutrition, Lululemon, Food Lab, Stance Socks, Wilde Bar, Freshii, Rx Bar, and FitAid. A big “Thank You!” goes out to all Easton’s CrossFit athletes who participated and our generous sponsors!
