WOD Gear's Team Series Returns to Pasadena with Crossfit's Fittest Athletes

Online, July 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - People love to compete. Fastest hot dog eater, most talented, best singer, greatest swimmer - competition brings on excellence. Enter The Team Series, WOD Gear Clothing's own crossfit competition which first made its debut in 2011. The third annual Team Series takes place on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at one of the top science universities in the world, California Institute of California -- Caltech, located in Pasadena, Calif. The crossfit competition is an all-day event that tests the endurance, strength, mobility and all-around mettle of the teams and the individuals within each team. The event will culminate with the top three team winners. Cash and product prizes will be awarded.

The competitors are men and women with age ranges from 18 to 50 years old. They come from a spectrum of professions and walks of life such as students, moms, law enforcement, physicians, teachers, attorneys and those who love fitness, being fit and absolutely crave competition. This Series continues to outreach beyond the borders of Pasadena, with athletes also arriving from Las Vegas to participate and compete.

Co-owner, Gabriel Pelino states, "We are really excited to be hosting our 3rd annual WOD Gear team competition at Caltech in Pasadena. We have been thrilled by the continued growth and support of the crossfit community, the Pasadena community, and the users and supporters of our brand. We look forward to another epic time for the athletes and spectators."

Why The Team Series is notable this year:
• Registration sold out within 7 minutes of opening.
• 80 teams, each team consisting of 2 men and 2 women, for a total of 320 athletes
• A mini-triathlon is being incorporated into the competition - not typical with crossfit

The Team Series has gained visibility and awareness within the crossfit community, and has become WOD Gear's "signature event", in which its customers, fans and ambassadors have looked forward to spectating and participating every year since its inception.
