ON THE BIG TIME THROWDOWN

SWEAT RX CHAMPIONSHIPS
& OUTLAW INVITATIONAL
AUGUST 16, 17, & 18, 2013

The 2013 SWEAT RX Canadian Championships is back! – BIG TIME THROWDOWN presented by Element CrossFit! We are going into our 3rd year of throwing down the LARGEST independent fitness competition in Canada. If you missed last year’s event- smarten up cause you won’t want to be scaled down to a spectator this year. BIG Competition, BIG Prizes, BIG Venue – BIG TIME THROWDOWN!

The venue will once again be the eminent Metro Toronto Convention Centre where we have secured our very own 25,000 sq ft professional indoor space, equipped with bleacher seating, athlete pavilion, large video monitors, lights – cameras and lots of action. The perfect atmosphere to match the magnitude of our 2013 championships.

This year’s expansion includes the inclusion of our new Outlaw Invitational Pro Division – hosted by Outlaw CrossFit and programmed by Rudy Nielsen. Top Games and Regional competitors, will vie for a $15,000 + cash purse- the largest prize in Canadian competitions.

Not to be missed the 911 first Responders Challenge- witness Police Officers, Fire fighters and EMS first responders battle it out to see who has the fittest force. By special request we will extend an invitation to our local forces to come and test their fitness and raise money for their collective charities.

The SWEAT RX Championships will be a 3 DAY event. The workouts will be varied and constitute a thorough test of fitness for individuals and teams. In other words, expect to be confronted with a series of workouts that will challenge your physical and mental fortitude, and test your mettle. Bruised egos and torn hands are not to be discounted.

Outlaw Invitational

By invitation only! A select group of the top CrossFit athletes from around the world have been invited and will battle it out in a thorough and challenging test of true fitness to see who will reign victorious in one of the most demanding Throwdowns Canada has ever seen.

RX’D

Athletes who choose to compete in this category show high levels of work capacity. You are a seasoned CrossFitter. You complete all CF Benchmark work outs as prescribed, have all of your gymnastic skills (Muscle ups, HSPU, HS Walks, Double Unders, Rope Climbs, etc.) and lift heavy stuff. You are either a CF Games athlete or a Regional Qualifier. Be prepared to be tested!

Amateur Division

Amateur does not mean “beginner” nor does it mean “easy”. While the Amateur division will not be doing the same WODs as the Pros rest assured that the WODs will be challenging and you will need a high level of fitness across broad time and modal domains. Athletes of all abilities will be challenged to the edge of their fitness throughout this event. Both fun and grueling this year’s amateur division will be a true measure of fitness.

Affiliate Throw Down “REP YOUR BOX”

Affiliates teams of 4 (2 men and 2 woman) from across Canada will heed the call to battle for the chance to be declared the ‘the Fittest Affiliate’. This competition will have two divisions: an RX’d for the fire breathers and an Amateur for the fit and furious, allowing for an all-inclusive challenging experience. Last year’s RX’d team champions CrossFit Select won the ultimate prize of an all expenses paid team trip to California to watch the 2013 CrossFit Games. Who will lay claim to the title this year?

Masters Mettle

Young at heart, Masters athletes 40 + will step up to prove their fitness in the “Masters Mettle” Division- hosted by Transition CrossFit. The fittest masters in our community will go head to head and test their mettle for a top spot on the podium. Not to be out done or out rewarded by the young guns, top masters placers will be awarded cash prizing.

If you don’t plan to compete, this is going to be a great weekend. Come out and support your fellow athletes and friends, pick up some new gear; and join us for an after party Saturday night!

The SWEAT RX Championships is a local fitness competition hosted by Element CrossFit. Our goal is to produce events that draw athletes who want to showcase their growth in the sport of fitness and celebrate the great community.
