The Festivus Games were EPIC! Congratulation to all the Pyro athletes, you guys did it! You went through 3 workouts, a floater workout and some of you even made the top 5 and did the final wod. We also managed to get some podium spots. So amazing!
Events like these are only possible because of you guys. Without the athletes, volunteers, helpers, people cheering, these events would be nothing. Just an empty space, you guys filled it with energy, everybody pushed hard and gave it all. Judging is not an easy tasks, you have to stay focus, reinforce standards, be willing to be that person that calls the no rep and have an athlete redo it, not easy at all. In fact, some people just straight out don’t want to do it. You guys stepped up to the plate and delivered. We did realized that some of you were feed up with it. We ran 10 heats through 3 workouts, that’s 30 workouts, then 50 athletes had to go through the floater, then we had the finals, it was a lot and thankfully we had you to help. We’re so grateful for our community to be like that. Many of you judged multiple heats, we had Bella and Andi looking after the scorekeeping (you guys did amazing), our coaches were there to help for everything (we have the best team out there), some of you were competing and judging, we could name all of you but in the end, you all helped and we’ll be forever grateful for it.
The event went smooth, no real hiccups, nothing major happened, no major injuries, couple tweaks here and there. Was it perfect? Some people just had a blast and that’s all that was needed. For us, there’s always lessons to be learned, things to improve and everything we do is giving us experience. From logistics, organization, equipment, timeframes, judging, we look at everything and we know we can do better. We’re always open to feedback so please, if you have any comments, good or bad, let us know.
A million thanks to Tyler to take pictures today. This is a big event for us and having moments like this immortalized in pictures is worth a lot. Looking forward to see those in the near future. Many of you took pictures today, make sure to send those our way so we can share them through our social media
