Austin: Ultimate Athlete Challenge [UPDATED]

[UPDATE] I got this very vague press release:

Competitive Training Center (CTC) of Austin has canceled the Ultimate Athlete Challenge that was originally scheduled for Saturday, November 6 due to unforeseen circumstances.

About Competitive Training Center (CTC)

For more information, please call 512-330-4269.

Competitive Training Center (CTC) of Austin is looking to crown the “ultimate athlete” in their inaugural Ultimate Athlete Challenge taking place Saturday, November 6 at 9am.  Competitors will showcase their abilities in three separate events testing agility, speed, skill, strength and conditioning.  The combined times of the three events will determine Austin’s “ultimate athlete.”

Sounds super fun and sorta like most CrossFit things I post on, right?

Registration is $25 per contestant or $65 for a three person team.  Competitors must be 18 or older and can compete individually in the male or female divisions or as part of a three person team in the male or female divisions. Awards and prizes will go to the top three lowest combined scores in each division.

First up is the agility and athletic skill course with double leg barrier hops, bag weaves, a lateral cone course, agility pole weave, and football toss.  The strength circuit involves a tire flip, sled push, sled rows, tossing sand bags overhead, and a zercher sandbag walk. Last up is the 860 yard interval suicide event.

SRSLY, sounds like fun!!

Side note: sleds are apparently all the rage these days … I’m competing in CrossFit Central’s Butcher Challenge, which is all about the new Butcher Sled. It’s October 30 and there are still spots open for team sign-ups!
