Dave Castro announced two more events at last night's athlete dinner in Carson, California. We all knew he was going to get creative this year with movements, and so far, he has not let us down. Ladies and gentlemen, Castro has presented the Sandbag 2015 and Pier Paddle.

Sandbag 2015 
Points Available: 100 
Location: Tennis Stadium 

For Time: Move sandbags across the stadium. 
Time Cap: 15 minutes

Athletes begin on the stadium floor and will run to the top of the North side stairs, move all the sandbags down the stairs, across the stadium floor, and to the top of the stairs on the South end. The event is complete when all bags have been moved to the opposite side of the stadium. 

If you've been a CrossFit fan since the beginning, this event may seem familiar. We first saw the sandbag carry in 2010 at The Stub Hub Center, and it's made its way back in 2015. There is a difference, however... Lots. More. Weight. 

Pier Paddle
Points Available: 100
Location: Hermosa Beach 

Athletes will swim 500 meters around the pier, run onto the beach to grab their paddle boards, paddle one mile South, turn around, paddle one mile back, and end the event with a second 500 meter swim around the pier. 

Castro relayed confidence to the competitors in a statement he made about the event on the CrossFit site, "If there's big surf, you guys are fucked."
