Well folks, it’s about that time again…. The fall Festivus is coming right around the corner and we couldn’t be happier about getting the opportunity to host it again.
The Festivus tagline says it all. This is “A competition for the rest of us.” And that couldn’t be more true. If somewhere in the back of your mind you’ve secretly wanted to do a competition but don’t want to get incinerated by all the fire breathers, this competition is for you!
This official Festivus website captures the nature of this competition well: “Festivus Games is in its third year as THE WORLDWIDE FUNCTIONAL-FITNESS COMPETITION FOR BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE ATHLETES (No fire breathers allowed!). No athlete, whether six months in or brand new, will need to scale any of the events. Festivus Games is about capacity more than a high degree of skill. Everyone can row…just how fast? Everyone can deadlift…just how much?
Since novice and intermediates make up 95% of athletes in the CrossFit population, it only makes sense to have a competition designed only for them.
On October 17th, 2015 an expected 10,000+ Novice and Intermediate athletes will compete Worldwide, all on the same day, in this amazing one-day event.”
So if you’re thinking of taking the jump into trying your first competition, the Novice Division is the perfect place to do that. If you’ve been into CrossFit a little while but don’t feel ready to breathe fire just yet, the Intermediate Division is made for you.
Festivus is one of our favorite events for many reasons. Why? We get to watch many athletes compete for the first time and fall in love with it. We get to see novice CrossFitters surprise themselves with their strength and ability and truly recognize their inner athlete. And we get to gather together and cheer for friends, family, and workout buddies as they push themselves and compete.
Athletes, don’t forget to take pictures to remember your first competition by. You never know where CrossFit will take you, you never know what competitions you may go on to conquer. This could be your starting place and you’ll want a picture to remember that by.
Everyone is welcome to come and watch and cheer for our athletes! The Festivus is an event you don’t want to miss being a part of.
