I have a paid entry to Superfit Crofton 2012 this October 27th that I can't use. They don't take refunds so I'm looking to sell it. The entry was $81 but I'll sell it for $65 so it doesn't go to waste. Email me at steve [at] stevegoldenberg [dot] com if you're interested (I'm a member at District Crossfit in DC...)
