EVENT 5:
MYSTERY EVENT!!
A mystery event is a surprise event that won’t be revealed until the day of the competition.
You won’t know what it is ahead of time, so you can’t prepare for it specifically. It could be anything, strength, endurance or a mix of both!
The idea is to test your adaptability and have fun with the unexpected.
Get ready for the unknown and give it your best.
-
Full weight breakdown will be revealed soon! But for now get your entries in. 10 Spaces in each category. Each person will be given a competition t-shirt, in the entry form you’ll pop your t-shirt size in.
See you in APRIL!
