Here are some pictures we took of the men’s and women’s final heats. Congrats to all athletes!

An Epic Day

Epic

Wow, all I can say is this one was one of the most awesome experiences I’ve had, ever.  From the camaraderie , no quit attitude and pure athleticism, to the volunteers who gave hours of their time, to altruistic sponsors, to the 8 inches of snow, to the pain we all empathized, this event was epic.

Luckily, the snow didn’t start coming down until after most competitors arrived. We had about 15 no shows, but as expected, CrossFitters don’t take shit from no one, not even a blizzard. While the rest of Charlottesville sat at home and feared the storm, we braved it.

Together we witnessed athletes pull well over 380 tons from the ground (1.5 tons per minute), press 121 tons overhead and deliver sweat, blood and tears to amazed onlookers.  We did it to raise money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad.

We couldn’t have done it without our volunteers, our athletes and the competitive spirit of the CrossFit community.

    • Points are awarded based on overall time and rep rankings.  For example, if a competitor ranked 2nd, 22nd and 10th in the first three WODs, he would have 34 points going into the final 4th WOD. If he were ranked in the lowest 5, he would be eligible to complete.
