EVENT: Internal Team Competition + Social

THE EVENT

We’re back on the schedule with our 2018 INTERNAL THROWDOWN & SOCIAL and the Daybreak Cup is again up for the taking!

This is our annual internal competition that is FREE and is for ALL DAYBREAK MEMBERS, but this year, we’re adding a little twist in that we’re fostering a bit of friendly, inter-Daybreak community intermingling by bringing both gyms together! So whether you’re from WAYLAND or ACTON you’re invited to participate in this low-key, member-friendly competition designed for veteran CrossFitters and newbies alike!

All you have to do is sign up at the front desk of either gym and we will create equal-ability teams for you… no need to panic. We know your abilities and we will have a workout option so EVERYONE can participate.

Your team will compete against other Daybreak teams in a series of 2-5 WODs. We will keep this post at the top of the daily WODs page, so keep checking back for more information including team assignments and workout descriptions.
