Welcome to the Apogee Fitness Podcast.   Today's episode is a very special edition, that highlights various Athletes, Coaches, Judges/Volunteers, and Event Coordinators from around the great state of South Carolina that participated in South Carolina's only CrossFit Sanctioned event, FITTEST of SC!  We had an absolute blast hanging out at FITTEST this year, and can honestly say it was one of THE BEST ran competitions we have ever attended.  From the programming, to the coordinators and judges/volunteers, to the athletes, all the way to Vendor Village; the entire weekend was well ran from start to finish.  Honestly, CrossFit needs to take notes and learn from this event on how to engage not only the athletes, but the spectators and vendors as well.  Thank ya'll at FITTEST for having us back for a second year, we are looking forward to attending again next year!  We hope ya'll enjoy reliving "The Sounds of FITTEST".  You can follow FITTEST on IG at @fittestofsc
