*******************

This weekend we will have 4 athletes particpating in the OC Throwdown CrossFit competition.  This is one of the biggest independently operated CrossFit events in the country.  Over 300 top CrossFit athletes had to qualify for a chance to compete in 6 workouts over the course of two days, with over 2500 spectator tickets sold and a rockstar venue.  There will never be a dull  moment!

If you have never attended a CrossFit event, this will be the one to attend!  There will be a tent city on the premises to hang out, where we will be one of around 40 affiliates represented.  Come mingle with the beatiful people, watch some amazing feats of fitness and see what the community is all about!

The heat times and workouts are yet to be released, but we will keep you updated as the weekend approaches.  Feel free to post in comments if you have any questions.  Hopefully see you there!
