Beasts start buttering up your Bestie

 . . .  the Kitty & Cougar (women only, average age) throwdown is here!!

You see, we have a theory that you really want to try a comp, or to do another . . .

But then the nerves kick in, maybe even the pooping of the pants, because you know oftentimes that ‘Rookie Division’ doesn’t truly represent real rookies,   and Intermediate “pffffttt”,  . . .

But The Kitty & Cougar Throwdown will help you ditch the nervous weeing (the jump rope tinkles we can’t control) . . .

Because it is the average age comp that truly encourages you to mix and mingle, that closes the generation gap and puts all age partnerships on a level playing field.  You will see our prize structure reflects that we reward giving it a good go, camaraderie and sisterhood above winning.  Because we want you to have a fun time at your box, while making new friends from all corners of the globe.

From Baby Boomers to Babies (in relative terms), this comp caters to you – in whatever age combinations you choose.

If you are 20 and your Grammy is bustin out the CrossFit moves in her 60s – you can partner up.

If the sound of your mothers/sisters/aunts voice inspires you to stuff cupcakes in your ears, then you can join forces with a Beastette from your Box (of any age!) . . .

Because we are Average Ageing you!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

• Note our divisions:

< 30

30 – 39

40 – 49

50 – 59

+ 60

*Note:  Athletes 14 – 17 need to have guardian permission.

• Choose your partner
• Add your ages (at first day of comp) together & divide by 2. Register for the event under THAT AGE category

eg: Gina is 22 & Geraldine is 52. 22 + 52 = 74  (÷ by 2) = 37.  The GG’s therefore enter the 30 – 39 division

Katrina is 61 & Catherine is 60.  60 + 61 = 121 (÷ by 2) = 60.5.  The Bad Kats enter the +60 division.

• Your team scores are entered under the age category you entered. (eg.  The GGs score for each WOD is entered in the 30 – 39 division,  The Bad Kats score for each WOD is entered in the +60 division).

THE COMP AND WORKOUTS:

3 weeks – 3 workouts (one a week), from 4th August 2016.  Every workout has multiple scaling options!

WOD 1 (week 1):  Partner workout.  Both partners will be working out at the same time.  Individuals CALENDAR/ACTUAL AGE determines weight used and scaling options available.

WOD 2 (week 2):  Team members complete workout separately as Individuals.  Individuals CALENDAR/ACTUAL AGE determines weights used and scaling options.  Both team members scores added together for result.

WOD 3 (week 3):  Partner workout.  One person working, one person resting.  Teams AVERAGE AGE determines weights used and scaling for both participants.

MAKING IT WORK

Workouts have been structured so your coach can make them a part of their class schedule for the week, or you can do it as time allows.

WODs, movement standards and scoring sheets will be released at 9am (NZ time), each Thursday, with the first coming out on Thurs 4th August 2016 Check your Time Zone here

You will have 7 days to complete the workout and a further 48 hours to submit your score.  (Specific instructions will be posted with each WOD on the day of release).
