EP18: WODAROO Recap: Behind the Scenes, Lessons Learned & What’s Next

WODAROO is officially in the books. This week, Nate and Matt sit down to recap the first-ever WODAROO Fitness Festival and talk about what it actually took to pull it off. From waking up to thunderstorms and changing the schedule on the fly, to building custom scoring software, hanging six ropes the day before the event, managing volunteers, and somehow turning the entire competition floor over between events, we’re pulling back the curtain on everything that happened behind the scenes. We talk about: • The controlled chaos of the first 45 minutes • How we handled the rain and last-minute changes • The volunteers, judges, and community members who made the day possible • What worked, what didn’t, and what we’d change next time • Building the WODAROO scoring and scheduling system • Why the final event turned out even better than we hoped • The standard we want WODAROO to become known for • Why an individual competition might be next 👀 Most importantly, we talk about what made the day special: a community that showed up, worked hard, helped wherever they were needed, and kept an incredible attitude from start to finish. Now the question is… what do we build next? Show up. Work hard. Be kind.
