I second Jelli's comment! Thank you to everyone at Harbor City CrossFit for all your efforts - it can't be easy organizing and hosting such a large event, and I know we all appreciated your hospitality. It was a phenomenal, overwhelming experience. The SE has some amazing athletes, and everyone really gave it their all this weekend. Thanks again, Harbor City!

Jelli, Leo, Laura, Damon....
Thanks for all your comments and I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves. There were some fierce athletes this weekend.
I'm glad to see Jelli saying she can't wait to have us down there next year. Looks like the FGB winners will host!

I was so tired last night I couldn't even post!!! Thank you so much guys for a fantastic weekend, it was an amazing experience!!
Mike, Donna, congratulations on your facility, it is beautiful and full of wonderful people, I love the Crossfit community, everybody support each other.
Thank you again, it was an Honor.

Harbor City...Thank you, we had a blast! You guys are clearly the second best CrossFit Affiliate in Florida.
Since the Team FGB Award comes with the responsibilty of hosting the next event, we can probably expect affiliates to enter teams of 300lb competitors with missing limbs. Here we thought we actually won something. It wasn't until the drive home we realized we'd be scammed. Oh well, the BGI crew has been scammed before. Not to mention the damn trophy ways about 180lbs. Oh well, looks pretty damn cool in the gym.
See you soon!

Tommy, you guys are crazy! post a pic of the trophy in your gym so we can see how good it looks. If we are the 2nd best, who is top dog again?

ways = weighs
and we'll get you your pic as ASAP.

Mike, Donna, the rest of CF Harbor City crew who made this happen, thanks for hosting such a great event. I can't express how much of a good time i had this weekend. The facility looked amazing. We all know how much work is put into this and i'm pretty sure it was a little stressing. But it all work out perfect, at least i thought so...Thanks again, we at CF Hardcore had a blast. I'm sure we'll run into eachother sometime...

CF harbor City - thanks for hosting the challenge and making it so I can hardly move today. The event was awesome and very well run. And more importantly, you had some great athletes there - it was a real challenge to compete! Although I vote in the future we scratch the DFL awards - I think it discourages up and comers from participating and doing the as Rx'd workouts.
Great job, and congrats to the winners!

Mike, Donna, JB, Juan, and all the other HC crew...Top notch event in a top notch facility hosted by top notch people. You guys set the bar high but I think we are up for the challenge to equal the event next year. (Mike: expect ALOT of calls and emails over the next year!)
Competition and company was awesome. What a great community!
Mike: Top Dog= BGI and we have YOUR trophy to prove it! (leave it to the "gimp" to talk smack!! LOL)

Hey Guys,
That was a great and very hot week-end! The Hopper was insane... I almost fell off my bike on the way home...:) THANKS! Nice meeting everyone!

Thank you CF Harbor City for hosting such a fabulous event. The crossfit community is certainly one of a kind. Proud to be part of it. It was great to step out of our back yard to meet other cross fitters. Lets keep the games going. Count me in BGI, I am coming back for more in 2009.

I've been a crossfitter for all of 5 weeks now and with the encouragement of my comrades decided to compete in the SE Challenge. While the brutal Hopper and scorching run were memorable, the best part was meeting all of you. Watching Lance lift that house, the top 5 battling it out in the hopper and the encouragement from everyone while competing are also things I'll never forget. I'm hooked! Watch out for this old man next year!

Mike, Donna, JB and Juan,
Thank you for hosting such an awesome event. The time and effort it took to produce the Southeast Challenge was evident and appreciated. Harbor City Crossfit made us feel welcome, the facility is top notch and you all are a class act! I had a great time participating (the hopper WOD was grueling) and I’m motivated to continue improving as a Crossfitter. Hopefully we will see you all again soon. Go BGI!

HC2: You guys are class acts!
Thanks for the awesome weekend!
