This weekend in Lakeville, MN

The sixth edition of this partner throwdown returns to CrossFit Templar with a full day of friendly, high-energy competition and community. Teams of two in same-gender pairings can choose from RX, Intermediate, Masters, or Scaled divisions, with Intermediate and Masters newly added. Masters follows intermediate-level standards and requires each athlete to be at least 35 on event day with a combined team age of at least 80. Programming previews include an AMRAP that blends rowing calories with the classic DT barbell sequence of deadlifts, hang cleans, and shoulder to overhead while both partners work simultaneously and combine their totals. Another workout features Echo bike calories and dumbbell snatches, with gymnastics skills scaling by division, from bar muscle-ups in RX to chest-to-bar pull-ups in Intermediate and Masters, and jumping pull-ups in Scaled. Registered athletes receive an event shirt or tank plus swag. A professional DJ will keep the music flowing and event photographers will capture the action to share after the competition. Onsite food options include Sticks the Ice Pop Shop, Caffeination Station, and Nautical Bowls, and athletes can access chiro and bodywork support from Wild Fox Massage. The field is capped at 60 teams, and divisions may close as they fill to keep the schedule efficient. Spectators are welcome at no charge and parking is plentiful. Teams can set up tents outside to relax between heats, and each team will receive a sign along with other goodies. The tiebreak process prioritizes head-to-head results, then number of event wins, and finally cumulative time where applicable. Volunteers can sign up and will receive a shirt and swag. All purchases are final and fees are nonrefundable, and substitutions may be approved by the head judge before competition begins.
