*****All athletes will need to have transportation arranged to arrive at Last Frontier Axe Co by 2:00 pm (Address: 2060 E Foundry Way, Unit 102, Wasilla AK). Wayfinder Fitness & Nutrition will not be responsible for the transportation of any athletes from our gym.
Athletes MUST have an ADULT parent or guardian present for check in at Wayfinder Fitness & Nutrition for signing waivers for Last Frontier Axe Co as well as Haven Chiropractic & Sports Medicine if they desire to receive any treatment (sports tape and other body work). Any athlete without an Adult present for waivers, will not be able to participate in the final event.
Scoring:
This year will remain consistent with our event from the last two years. An RX score on an event will beat a scaled score. An athlete may RX or Scale any workout. For instance: an athlete may scale event one because they don’t have toes to bar, RX event two because they have double under, RX event three (part A), and scale event three (part B) because they don’t have handstand walking.
We recognize that this isn’t ideal for an athlete who typically scaled WODs, but we hope to grow the event to allow for Scaled and RX divisions at some point in the future.
A couple reminders: We’d rather see athletes work within their capacity and have fun, not struggle and ruin their own fun for the day. We love seeing kids learn things they’re not great at one year and come back the next year and crush those weaknesses. Don’t stress… remember, this isn’t the CrossFit Games. If you win or lose, have fun and enjoy our chosen sport. Don’t fixate so much on winning that you spoil your own fun or the fun of someone else around you. If this is your first CrossFit competition, awesome! Don’t plan to win. Do your best and don’t compare yourself to anyone else.
Safety: Shoes will be worn and securely tied/strapped during all events
Barbells: Male athletes will use standard 45# barbells and female athletes will use standard 35# barbells.
