It’s almost the weekend Brick Gals (and guys) and I don’t know about you, but it can’t get here soon enough! Why you ask? Well, because this weekend I’ll be supporting my Crossfit Vida peeps at this year’s second annual “Summer Crush Games“!
That’s right! This year we get two days of non-stop action. If you’re into Crossfit, some good old competition, (or just want to check out some hotties), come to the Tropical Park Equestrian Center this weekend any time from 8:30 am to 7pm, to witness some true bad asses in action.
Or if you’re a fatty like me, you’ll just watch and hit up the Food Trucks and do some shopping (hey, at least I’m honest) from TOP vendors like Trunx Life, Formulx, Reebok, Rogue Fitness and 3-2-1 Apparel, just to name a few!
This year the Summer Crush Team went all out! They’re even bringing in some of the TOP athletes from across the country such as: Brandon Phillips, Irving Hernandez, Kenneth Leverich, Noah Olsen, Cheryl Nasso and Lauren Brooks are among the well known CrossFit “elite” that will be participating in this year’s Summer Crush Games.
Admission is $15 for the weekend pass, $10 one-day pass (Cheaper than going to the movies folks)!
Here’s the official info- see you all there!
