Please enjoy highlights from the 2012 Long Island Kettlebell Pentathlon:
This was an In-House, By Appointment competition, and a format we've developed to handle a fairly large group at AKC Fitness LI. All lifters were assigned an official start time, with results posted online at day's end. In this manner we were able to accommodate a large field, with no waiting time.

*The Pentathlon Handicap System
Real Score minus bodyweight in kilograms / was tested out for this competition, to see what effect it has on overall scoring, and as a way to even the playing field and encourage participation for all sized athletes. After careful observation, a determination will be made if it, or something like it, is included in future competitions. We'd love your feedback on the subject.
