Congrats to ALL the competitors. It was a super fun last three weeks. I hope you guys had a good time with it all. We still need volunteers and judges. Judges will need to pass a strict standards test and will be well PAID this year. More details on that in the next couple of days. But just so stoked for everyone that participated. Those WODs were TOUGH and we saw some incredible performances. In two months we gained 750 followers of our facebook page and averaged nearly 4,000 hits on our website in the past few weeks. Thats pretty epic. In return we promise to bring you the finest competition outside of the Games. We are stoked and will see you all in just 8 weeks.

All those athletes that made the cut, we will be putting up a registration link on Thursday. You will have 1 week to register. Deadline will be November 17th. If you miss the cutoff of the registration your spot will be forfeited and your spot will go to the next athlete. (Men it will go to athlete #151, women #101 and so on.) Contact us if you still have any questions.

The 2012 OC Throwdown presented by Life AsRx is HERE! We are going into our 3rd year of throwing down the largest independent XFit comp in Southern California. This year promises to be even bigger and better. Bigger venue, more people, stiffer competition, and bigger trophies. As in previous years The OC Throwdown is a 2 day event featuring classic CrossFit movements. No tricks. No BS. Pure CrossFit. The workouts will be varied and constitute a thorough test on an individuals fitness. In other words, expect to be SERIOUSLY tested both physically and mentally. Soreness and exhaustion are to be expected. Bruised egos, and torn hands are a good possibility. After all, THIS IS CROSSFIT! The Champions of the 2012 OC Throwdown will certainly lay claim to the title of THE FITTEST IN THE OC.

The venue will once again be INDOORS as we feel that this provides the most INTENSE and DRAMATIC atmosphere for a XFit competition. As of tonight we hit 652 competitors registered.
