In case you haven't heard - the Beast is SOLD OUT!

We actually reached this milestone a couple of weeks ago: All 200 individual athlete slots plus all 40 teams of 4 have been filled. That's 360 competitors currently training up and getting ready to do battle for the title of Beast of the East, which is less than two months away as of today -- wow!  All of us at Beast HQ are absolutely stoked by the magnitude of this response, and we're determined to make the inaugural Beast weekend something special. 

More events, and more opportunities to join in!

For all of those who missed out (and the size of our wait-list indicates that there are quite a few out there), we've added a few very cool related events to take place alongside the Beast competition October 8 & 9.  Please pass word of them on to any of your friends who might have missed out on their chance to get in on the action or who might not have wanted a full weekend worth of competition:

• The East Coast Kettlebell Beast - an IKFF sanctioned Kettlebell competition, for kettlebell masters and novices alike.
• The Beast of the East Open USAW Weightlifting Meet - sanctioned olympic weightlifting competition for men and women, running on both days of the weekend.
• Project: Mayhem Presented by SICFIT - Guys, bring your black clothes and get ready for some old-school fun with the SICFIT crew on Saturday night!  Check out the link for more details!
• Also: Judges and Volunteers are STILL wanted - If you'd like to pitch in and do some judging or event set up, sign up at thebeastoftheeast.com! 

Less than 50 days to go -- are you ready?

That's right, the Beast of the East will be here in less than two months.  With that in mind, be sure to check in on the News & Updates section of thebeastoftheeast.com over the next few weeks to stay on top of any breaking info.  Coming soon, preliminary heat info, itineraries, and more!

Really? More pullups? Between the pushups and pullups these past two weeks, I'm starting to think you guys want me to quit and join Lucille Roberts. Rob-- pretty sure there will be a few from the Corcoran clan to add to the cheering squad.
