W.O.D. 6.28.14-The King and Queen of Prussia


Finally, the event that all of you have been waiting for!  The day has arrived and it is time to crown our newest King and Queen.  Our reigning King (Dan Faby) will be defending his title but the Queen spot is wide open!  This is by far, the most exciting event that is held each year and Jason, myself and the coaches could not be more excited. 

The King and Queen of Prussia will give many an opportunity to compete for the first time, it will give others a chance to see where they stack up, it will push all athletes to a new level, it will provide an atmosphere or camaraderie and friendship that defines what CrossFit King of Prussia is all about. 

If you are not competing, we strongly encourage you to stop by and cheer on your friends and support them during the day.  At the end of the event, we will celebrate in true CrossFit fashion with a "stink and drink" and catered lunch.  Please feel free to bring some pot-luck fare and drinks too! See you there!

There is NO regular class today only the competition,  regular class resumes on Sunday.

WHAT IS A HYDRATION BUDDY ANYWAY????!!!!!


Last Years Spirit of the games (court Jester) winners!!

As a way to get to know each other better, upon check in at the King an Queen of Prussia you will pick a name from a bucket (girls will be on pink and boys on green). This person will be your "hydration buddy" for the day. You don't need to spend the whole day with them but if you don't know who they are, find them...maybe warm up with them, find out what got them in the doors of CF KOP, what are their goals for the day/week/year, make sure they are staying hydrated with water during the event and beer afterwards....but most importantly have fun with it! We are a large community spanning many different interests, so today is a day to have fun and get to know each other inside the one thing we all have in common…Crossfit KOP!

...and don't forget we also award the court jester...our spirit awards for the male and female who exhibit the best camaraderie and spirit for the day.
