Great day, great energy, and great people.
Our 8th annual Wet Hot Summer Throwdown was so much fun!! To give you context one the day, there were 3 events along with a floater event:

Event 2 was pretty cool… while it was HOT outside, it was our first event that we moved from Prototype to another location to perform this event. The workout had a 20 min cap and started at Prototype and we required the athletes to run to Todd and Peg’s house which was a 1.2-mile run.

Now… that wasn’t all… once they finished the run, with whatever time that was left, we had them alternate rounds of 7 burpees and 7 air squats with their partner.

This one got SWEATY for sure and was probably the hardest event of the day. We have some pics below and results!

Event 3 Details:

Unlike previous WHST or competitions, we have done at Prototype, this was a first! Instead of another workout, event 3 was a single game elimination cornhole tournament. The seeding of the bracket was based on how well the teams did in Event 1 and 2. There were 20 teams which meant a 20 team bracket.

The first round was the prelim round between the 20th seeded team through the 13th seeded team.

Round 1 was a game to 15. The rest of the bracket (elite 8, final four and championship) was to 21.

The scoring of this event was based on where the teams placed in the bracket. It got heated AND competitive at times, but there can only be one cornhole champ in this competition! Some pics and results below!

Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
