DESCHUTES DEMOLITIONtm

The Essentials:
June 20, 2015
***8:00 AM to 5:30 PM*** (Tentative Schedule)

Location:
Bend, Oregon

Divisions (50 entries in each division): 3 person teams!

  • Male/Male/Female Rx Team
  • Male/Male/Female Scaled Team
  • Female/Female/Male Rx Team
  • Female/Female/Male Scaled Team

Northwest Fitness Gamestm is hitting the road once again to start the summer of 2015 and this time we’re going over the mountain to Bend for the inaugural DESCHUTES DEMOLITIONtm.  We’re excited to introduce an interesting new competition format…we’re calling it the “third wheel” or “menage-a-WOD” This is a mixed gender competition (MF), but you are able to add one additional athlete and YOU pick their gender.  To be clear, their will be NO ADVANTAGE to having an extra gal instead of an extra guy.  The WODs will be created to have work done as if it were a Male/Female team, but you can bring another female or male in to help with the work.  Soooo, grab your best CrossFit gals and your best buddies, head over he hill, and crush some WODs!  We’re out to see who owns the best fitness on the high desert!

Because is is a new format for a team competition, we expect some questions. Here are some sample WODs, that may or may not be used in the competition.

1. Complete for time: [Chipper style]

  • 200m sprint relay (all three people)
  • 60 Cleans (165# M /100# F) (one person at a time, sub as needed)
  • 300 Double Unders (one person at a time, sub as needed)

2. Complete for weight: 8:00 to establish 8 max Snatch lifts (4 male, 4 female). Score is the heaviest 4 male lifts + the heaviest 4 female lifts.

As you can see we are formatting the WODs such that the fittest 3 people will win, it should not matter if your “third wheel” is a male or female competitor… what will matter is your team strategy and skills and strength distribution!
