The Vic City Reindeer Games!

Thanks Leah for the naming suggestion!

It's here team, a chance to push your limits a bit across strength, muscular endurance, and metcons!! This will be a great opportunity to see where you stand and have a lot of fun both completing the workouts and cheering on your buddies to do the same.

Here's how it works:

Here is a link to the scorecard. It is a Google form that you can fill out as you go. Feel free to enter your scores in BTWB also but we will use the Google form for the actual rankings etc. There are Scaled, Rx, and CP divisions, so be sure to select the right one and stay in the same division for the whole week. Take a look at the wods (listed below) so you can choose which division to compete in.

Enter your scores either as you complete each day or at the end of the week. You will be doing your own timing for some of the workouts, and will keep track of all your own reps and weights, so make sure you have a mini whiteboard or your phone with you to get an accurate count.

You can do the events in any order you like, although I've arranged them in the ideal format in terms of recovery and planning. Please keep your normal training schedule to avoid clogging up classes in the week - we want as many people as possible to get a chance to compete!

That's about it! All scores will need to be submitted by Saturday Dec 19 and I will look to announce the winners on Sunday or Monday.

The prizes are as follows:

First place male and female in each division:

1 Syndicate Weight Belt + 1 bag Blonyx Egg Protein + Vic City Decal

Second place male and female in each division:

1 pair of Syndicate knee sleeves + Vic City Decal + Half off any supplement

Third place male and female in each division:

1 pair of Syndicate wrist wraps + Vic City Decal
