2012 Mid-Atlantic Hopper Challenge

Joshua Desmond · 07-21-2012, 02:26 PM

I am trying to put together a team for the challenge this year. I have the 3 men for the team, but need to find 3 women to complete the team. Registration is about a month away, so I'd like to have the team put together sooner than later. If anybody out there is interested please let me know.

Josh, I'm highjacking your thread. No point in starting multiple Hopper threads.

That's right kiddies! The Hopper is back again! The Mid-Atlantic's #1 test of the unknown and the unknowable. Each event is drawn at random from the almighty Hopper. Not even the event coordinators know what the workouts will be until the day of competition.

New this year, the individual competition will be broken into Open and Elite divisions. The Elite division will be for Games and Regional competitors, previous Hopper winners and podium finishers, as well as any athletes who want to test their mettle against the best that the Mid-Atlantic has to offer. The Elite division will be limited to 30 competitors.

We will of course see the return of the Team competition (can anyone dethrone Outlaw?), as well as the Masters division.

Registration opens at noon EST on August 17th. Don't hesitate! Last years Team registration filled up in less than 30 minutes, and the men's individual competition filled up in a matter of a few hours.

Chris, I can't get on facebook at work. Can you shoot me some info here? Have a website etc?

Christopher G. Woods · 07-25-2012, 07:52 AM

The Hopper is October 6th and 7th, here at CrossFit BWI(wfs). There will be Elite and Open Individual divisions, Masters divisions, as well as the Team competition. Sorry, we don't have a website yet. Odds are that we'll just run through Facebook, the BWI blog and the message board. We never got a website up last year, and we still sold out almost every division in the first 24 hours, so we may not bother this year.

Scratch my search to put a team together. But if you are looking for another guy for a team I am interested.
