CLASH AT THE COVE FEBRUARY 3RD!!!!
CLASH AT THE COVE IN-HOUSE COMPETITION
Saturday, February 3rd will be our annual IN-HOUSE COMPETITION known as Clash at the Cove.
The Clash at the Cove is meant for EVERYBODY at the gym and is a FUN and INCLUSIVE way for people to dip their toes in into the “competition” space. So, if you signed up for the Open, you have an idea of how ‘competition’ can push you to a new level.
As the CrossFit Games season approaches, we all look at these athletes with marvel and dream of someday being like them. Well, this is your chance to take that step onto the competition floor but in the safe confines of the CrossFit Cove.
If you’re the kind of person who says you disdain being competitive, we hate to tell you — but you compete with yourself every day. So, technically you have zero excuses!
This year, we are doing a partner-style competition with teams comprised of one male and one female.
. We will have scaled and RX divisions and the day will feature a variety of workouts that will challenge all aspects of your fitness. We will handle putting the teams together, all you need to do is choose the appropriate division for yourself. Trust us, we will pair you appropriately in terms of ability, personality and potential for the MOST fun day.
Just like our Partner WODs, team formats can help push you, but also provide comfort that you can lean on your partner to help round out your weaknesses. It’s an awesome experience for both partners!
Last year almost all of our members participated in one way or another (as athletes or judges) and we are hoping for the same kind of turn out this year. The event typically runs from 9am – 2pm, so make sure you plan your weekend accordingly.
Again, the competition is for EVERYBODY in the gym, literally EVERYBODY!!!! If you aren’t convinced that you can do this event AND have a great time you can still participate as a spectator or volunteer. We will take all the help we can get and we will be in need of judges and equipment managers. Non-members and family are welcome to come and cheer everyone on too.
If you are uncertain about competing or are deciding between the various divisions, please just talk to us. We promise we will steer you in the right direction! Here are some important bits of information to get you signed up and ready for this epic day:
HOW IT WORKS:
- Sign up with this Google sheet or you can simply place your name on the White Board at the front of the gym by putting your name on the division in which you want to join (or if you want to volunteer).
- We will create the teams to keep them competitive, but also to put people together that we think will have a great time together.
- Teams will be announced on Monday, January 29th via Facebook Live!. You MUST sign up by Friday, January 26thto participate. DO IT!!!
DIVISION STANDARDS:
In order to select which division is right for you, we have developed some ‘division standards’ as guidance. The weights listed should be “working weights”, meaning you should be able to perform 4-6 reps (not necessarily unbroken) for each of the movements below. It does not mean these movements will appear in the workouts, rather it is to help you judge your own individual capacity vs. the load demands of the two divisions. Also, understand that you will be paired with a teammate so if a particular movement is a challenge for you then you will be able to lean in your teammate to help you out. It’s part of the fun of a team competition.
