Kyle — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:09:26 +0000

Hello competitors, affiliate owners and guests. We are very happy to have Sorinex supplying all of our equipment for the event on January 21st and 22nd. They have really stepped us this year, provided us some awesome equipment and being super helpful in the process. These guys are the bomb and we told them that they would easily be able to sell out of their equipment, so please buy their stuff or email them and tell them what you want. You don’t have to pay shipping on this stuff because you can pick it up at SuperFit and that’s a great deal by itself.

PS You won’t be able to guess the workouts from the equipment list, but you can try…

SuperFit Sponsors Stepping Up to Support the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville

Kyle — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:29:30 +0000

We’re so happy to support the Charlottesville Boys and Girls Club this year as part of our Third Annual SuperFit Games on January 21st and 22nd. We sold out three months in advance for 200 competitor spots. We have more women competing in this SuperFit event than the entire number of competitors in our first year and we added a masters division this year. Even my mom is competing!

I love SuperFit because it’s where I’ve made friends, seen athletes give it their best and inspire the community about what is possible. As I look back to our first event, the level of athleticism has advanced in such an epic way, you have to wonder where the sport will be in 10 years. But, it’s not just about the elite people (although there are some big names coming to Charlottesville). The reason we do our events in CrossFit boxes and tight venues like the Boys and Girls Club is because it forces you to interact with people around you. People come to SuperFit to give it their best, even if that means they won’t win. They come to be around a ton of great people who inspire each other. I am so excited about this year and I hope it’s the best event you’ve ever seen.

Our sponsors have really stepped up this year and allowed us to do cash prizes, feed and cloth our judges and volunteers and offer our competitors awesome prize packages. Our growing sponsor list is below:

Sorinex
Red Bull
Arden Place Luxury Apartments
Eppie’s
Progenex
LifeAsRx
Neptune Barbell
VitaCoco
AtLarge Nutrition
CrossFit Charlottesville
RockTape
Whole Foods Charlottesville
Lululemon Charlottesville
Spinal Health and Wellness

So, please support these sponsors, tell all your friends to come to Charlottesville in January and please, if you want to volunteer or judge, email us at games@crossfitcharlottesville.com. Judges and volunteers get free entry, a free shirt and fed.

Team SuperFit Richmond 2011 Recap

Kyle — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 23:45:07 +0000

Overall that was an awesome weekend. It was the best SuperFit yet. The competition environment was the best I’ve seen at any competition.

We also set a record for spectators and competitors as this was bigger than the last SuperFit by one hundred people. Hope to see you all at SuperFit Charlottesville in Mid-January.

Thanks to all our awesome sponsors, Lululemon, LifeAsRX, Progenex, Rock Tape, Sausage Craft, Red Bull and Neptune Barbell. Thanks to all the judges and volunteers. You guys really made this weekend awesome.

For a full list of events go here.

WOD 1

Atlas stones presented a new challenge for almost all athletes. We decided we wanted a metabolic workout that tested a little bit of technique but a lot of raw power. Athletes who decided to take it easy on the runs didn’t do great on this one. 6 Rounds presented the limit for most athletes and many wore bright red marks and bloody ears all weekend for this feat.

WOD 2

We wanted to test athletes in a shorter, but heavy domain. Doing a traditional ground to overhead test worked, but we added a twist with the weight change requirement for mixed teams. Interestingly, the Male + Female teams that chose not to change weights did best. Strong athletes clearly had an advantage on this WOD. The fastest team did about 4 back-to-back Grace’s in 7 minutes. Beast.

WOD 3

We wanted something that used the worst possible movement combo (thrusters and pullups) into an event that really tested how much go athletes had. Good teams were doing about 100 thrusters and about 75 pullups. Burpees turned into a suck fest at the end, even without a hip and clapping standard.

WOD 4

No one guessed that our logo design showed WOD 4. Athletes who did well had very good handstand ability and were technically proficient in the snatch. I heard the winning girls team got a 6 minute handstand hold.

WOD 5

Our final WOD was a brutal chipper with an interesting twist on muscle ups. Athletes had some reservations about doing partner-assisted muscle ups, but I think most athletes underestimated the fatigue on the rings. The muscle up techniques ranged from interesting to the funny. Overall, the handstands turned into a big equalizer with a lot of teams changing position.

Final Results

Male + Female

1st Place – Team Gym-Nasty
2nd Place – NO REP!
3rd Place – CrossFit BWI

Male + Male

1st Place – Prozac Patty and the One Armed Bandit
2nd Place – WOD drunk and looking to score
3rd Place – Compound

Female + Female

1st Place – Mountaineer Crossfit
2nd Place – Asskickery Inc.
3rd Place – AJ

Only top 10 teams from each division and top 5 teams from scaled divisions move to the finals.

General Rules

Scoring is cumulative point system. You receive 1 point for first, 2 points for second place, etc. The lowest overall point total determines who is highest in ranking.
For people in scaled divisions, you don’t have to scale every workout, but if you decide to scale any workout, you will be automatically put into the scaled division. If you signed up for scaled and want to do everything RX’ed, that’s fine too.
We will do our best to have consistent judging standards. It’s inevitable, someone will think a judge was unfair, so please resolve issues prior to a workout and know the standards. If you have any issues with judging, do not act like a baby. If you act like an ass, we reserve the right to kick you out of the competition.
Have fun!
