This year the 3rd annual CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA will be held July 10-12. Athletes worldwide participated in regional qualifiers for the right to compete in this year’s Games. Our very own athletes Greg, Ruth and Chip put forth a strong effort in the grueling battle of the SoCal Regionals in Tustin. The winner of the CrossFit Games holds the title of the World’s Fittest Male and Female.
In the first CrossFit Games (2007), the workouts consisted of a run, CrossFit Total and the hopper: pullups/heavy pushjerks. Last year’s Games consisted of a run; chest-to-bar Fran; a deadlift/burpee workout; and heavy, squatting Grace. This year anything is possible; but Coach Glassman promises, “None of the competitors will have done any of the workouts. And perhaps more significantly, none of the athletes will have ever competed in several of the movements”. 2009 will be the first Games with no scaling of the workouts; all athletes will perform at the prescribed weights. Friday will hold the affiliate competitions, while Saturday and Sunday are reserved for the fight of the right to claim Fittest in the World.
Many of us at CFSB are excited to be caravanning to Aromas to witness the world’s top athletes next month.
Please note that the gym will be closed Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11th.
