An American Team joins Nutts Cup

All right Canadians, it’s time to step up our Game, or else we might all get stomped by Americans from Washington come Nutts Cup.

Long-time CrossFit powerhouse, Ashleigh Moe

This team, who goes by the name The Sofa Kings, is made up of not one, but two 2011 individual CrossFit Games competitors, Ashleigh Moe and Noah Pester. Their third member is Ryan Swobody, who is no slouch himself. He was fifth in his region after the Open competition, and 83^rd in the world. To put this in perspective, Canada’s CrossFit Gem – Lucas ‘Teen Wolf’ Parker – was 109^th in the world after the Open competition. We simply may not have the man power in this country to compete with this team, especially considering the fact that Alicia Connors, Jeremy Meredith, and Steve Howell’s team have withdrawn from the comptition (yes, that was a direct challenge to all Canadians competing at Nutts Cup to step up so this team doesn’t walk away with it).

Along with “eating massive amounts of steak,” Moe says that her team’s other huge strength is “cardio, cardio, cardio.” Considering the final workout of the day – some version of the long-ass Nutts Hero WOD – there’s a good chance this team is the one to beat.
