Every year that we have run Oktoberfest Obliteration we have included a German phrase on the event t-shirt.
Every year, we get asked repeatedly during the event what the phrase means in English. For some reason…no one asked us this year.

Odd, since right on the shirt was this announcement.
Es war gut wahrend er dauerte = It was good while it lasted.
After 4 very fun and successful years of our annual CrossFit competition, we are officially retiring Oktoberfest Obliteration.
We hope everyone that has ever participated as an athlete in our event had a good time and we want to thank everyone that ever volunteered in any capacity to help pull the events off. It goes without saying that the pouring of energy from the CrossFit community is what enables these events to take place and we can’t send out enough thanks to everyone that ever helped.
There may be other CrossFit Champions sponsored events in the future, but as far as Oktoberfest Obliteration goes…it was fun while it lasted but its time to move on.
