All sarcasm/ crossfit bashing aside, I think it's great for our city to be able to host 2 marquee fitness events (Crossfit Games, IMWI) within a month of each other.

Pretty down to earth group, at least from the out-of-towners i've interacted with downtown or at the Union Terrace so far. Most seeing Madison for the first time, and the city is definitely putting its best foot forward.

I'm actually pretty excited about watching the 2 kickoff events they added this year:

• 1.5 mile run, 500 m swim in monona, 1.5 mile run
• Cyclocross

Everyone hates on the way triathletes swim and ride their bikes, but this should definitely take a lot of these crossfit guys and girls wayyy out of their comfort zones.
