First things first, I'm going to release the info for event number 1 today.

"DC's Most Primal" - Fitness Competition

The DC's Most Primal Competition will bring together DC's best athletes and DC's best gym to find the fittest athlete in the DC area. The competition will test competitors ability to perform optimally at a variety of grueling events, ranging from maximal strength and power, to speed, endurance and agility. At the end of the day the top male and female competitors will be crowned as DC's Most Primal and will receive some great prizes from local businesses.

With the Crossfit Games season upon us I hope we can get a good showing from the Crossfit and Parkour community in the DC metro area. This will be a fun, community-minded event that will give local athletes a chance to try on their competitive chops. As an added incentive we'll be offering a 15% discount to any local athletes who are planning on attending the Crossfit Games Sectionals.
