The infamous hill at Aromas. Eerie isn't it? Lets get through the holidays and then it is time to start getting out training and diets dialed in. In order to make it to the games, individuals will have to qualify first at a sectional qualifier then at a regional qualifier. Team CFES will have to qualify at the regional level to make it to Aromas this year.
Our section is the Nor Cal Section and the event will be held in Emeryville on March 6-7th with the top 20 men and women moving on to regionals. All of you plan on attending and many of you plan on competing fiercely. We will be expecting 20-30 of our athletes to compete at this event
with a handful of you in contention to qualify for the regional event. There will be no team comps at this event.
Our region is the US South West Region and that event will be held tentatively on March 8-9th with the top 4 men and women going on to compete as individuals at the CrossFit Games 2010.
Affiliate teams will have to compete at the regional qualifiers in order to qualify for the CrossFit Games 2010 Affiliate Cup. It is going to be a bit complicated how we will decide whether our qualified athletes will compete in the regionals as individuals or for our team since both events are on the same weekend. I have word from HQ that if our team qualifies in the regional event, the team qualifies, not the individuals on the team. So it would be possible to bring in our ringers for the games if they competed as individuals and not on the team at the regional level. We will cross those bridges as we come to them, for now we will train our asses of and plan on giving them hell when we show up.
If you want a shot on making our team for the South West Regional qualifiers you will be required to compete in the Nor Cal Sectional event. We will use the Nor Cal Sectional event to decide who makes our affiliate. Whoever places the highest at the Nor Cal Section will be placed highest on our affiliate team. If for some reason you cannot make it to the sectionals we will give you a chance to perform all the workouts from the sectional in the same order and time frame as a last chance to qualify for our team.
Another exciting announcement is that there will be a Masters Competition at the regional level as a pre-requisite for the Masters event that will be held at the 2009 CrossFit Games. Masters will be for athletes 50+ years old. If you are decently athletic and competitive, you bet your ass I will be pressuring you to compete in this first ever official CrossFit Masters event.
All of you start getting fired up right now for these events! Competing in real deal CrossFit events elevates your ability in ways that cannot be fully explained, ask anyone who has been there. Get these dates on your calendars right now and get your minds set. Self doubt is your only adversary. Tell your bosses you won't be at work (by this I do not mean ask for the time off). You train for it and you work hard for it every day. The time is coming to throw your nuts on the table and see what you are really capable of. I am so fired up right now I can't contain it.
