Challenging local CrossFit boxes to prove which box has the fastest endurance team!
In 2012, the CrossFit games started with a triathlon. Since
then, strength athletes have improved their cardio conditioning for endurance-based
events.
Post-Normal challenges local boxes along the Gulf Coast to a team relay at
Tradition’s Triathlon on Saturday, April 9.
Athletes & their coaches will compete to see which box
has the fastest team. The winners get bragging rights for the year and a unique
team trophy.
Post-Normal Relay Challenge
Guidelines:
- 3 individuals per team(swimmer, biker, runner)
- At least one male and one female per team
- Unless injuries prevent it, at least one coach per team
- Top 3 fastest teams, based on total racing time, receive unique trophies to take back to their box
Special Prize: A unique trophy will go to the gym with the
most individual entries in the
Tradition’s Triathlon. Those individuals will be competing against the rest of
the triathletes, but the Coach who gets the most athletes from their box to
cross the finish line will receive a one-of-a-kind prize to take back to their
gym.
