Sounds like fun doesn't it?! I think the best part about this contest (aside from the fact that we're gonna kick ass!) is that we're all 'normal-looking', fit women who are just trying out something new, challenging and fun! Too many people hear "strong-woman competition" and immediately envision huge, muscle-bound women with facial hair and man-hands. SO not the case! I bet if we called it a 'fitness' competition, no one would raise an eyebrow. But that's another post entirely....
Send me an email if you're interested in joining us - we're doing our event training mainly on Saturdays. Oh, and we're gonna have and outfit. It will likely involve something pink and some Lululemon. Yay!
