3rd Annual Turkey Challenge is a Wrap!

Congratulations to all of our competitors this weekend! The 3rd annual Turkey Challenge was a huge success. Thank you to all of our incredibly gracious volunteers that made this event possible.

Jeremy, You have scores for WOD 1, WOD 2A, and WOD 2B. Teams that have scores for those 3 events plus the floater will be scored ahead of you until your team does the floater.

I have a question about how the Turkey Challenge is being scored. My team has gotten 10th, 15th, and 18th place so far and are currently listed as being in 18th place overall. The only way I can see that being the case is if one workout is being weighted more than another. Are different workouts being given different weightings, or are they scored equally?

Athlete Heat Times

Pat Burke

11/15/2012

Here are the rosters with your heat #'s for Workouts 1-3. Write down and remember your heat #'s. Remember, you MUST check-in 10 minutes prior to your heat beginning. This will be extremely important because if you miss your heat, it is unlikely that you will be able to go in a later heat and you will get no score for that event.

Team Rx Heat Roster

Team Open Heat Roster

Here is the schedule with heat times. The floater workout will be done in heats every 15 minutes from 1:30 - 4:30pm Saturday and 9:00 - 11:30am Sunday. We will have aContinue Reading

Nat, the team will get to decide which male and female compete in workout 3 and the floater. The same individual can't compete in both.

For team workout #3 are the team members selected randomly to complete the buffet or do the teams get to choose?

Registration CLOSED!!

Pat Burke

09/28/2012

Holy cow! I couldn't have anticipated shutting down the website due to how many people were trying to register all at once. Within 90 minutes, we had sold out almost every spot (all except women's Rx)! That is a testament to how awesome the Denver/CO CrossFit community is.

So, if you haven't put your name on the standby list, you are going to have to wait till till the 2014 Turkey Challenge. Better luck next year! :)

A note to everyone that did make it in. Your purchase is non-refundable. If you cannot make it to the event for any reason, please let us know who you wouContinue Reading

2012 Turkey Challenge Announcement

mbs crossfit flash mob

November 17-18th

Back by popular demand – the 2012 MBS CrossFit Turkey Challenge! Mark your calendars, hit the gym, and train hard: on November 17-18th we are bringing it bigger and harder than last year.

What happened last year? If you missed it, or if your body just won’t let you remember, here’s a taste: rope climbs, fat bar deadlifts, the burpee wall, THE LEGOS, and an awesome old-school-meets-new-school vibe much like the first year of the Games.

How to top that? This year we’ll test you with 4 workouts over TWO DAYS. We will have 30 team spots made up Continue Reading
