Southern California CrossFit Games Qualifier

Gathering the best of Southern California's elite athletes.

Bring it neighbors!

We want to give our best to the athletes competing at the remaining qualifiers for this year's Games in Aromas.  We know that throughout the country (as in Europe and Australasia already) these folks are trying to kill some hellacious workouts.  Go get 'em boys and girls.

This guy can wait for us...

Here's a look at some of the fun from last weekend:

 

Thank You Concept 2!

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Concept 2 and their representatives, Victoria and Jack (from Rowbics in Long Beach).  They graciously provided eighteen rowers for our event.  We could not have had anything close to the success of this competition without them

 

 

 

Talk about leaving a little bit of yourself behind on the field...

 

It's been nothing less than an honor supporting this event, and this is why.  No it's not "people who don't know control".  It's people who understand that this is the exact environment in which to go all out; to test themselves to the extent of their ability.

 

Amongst their community.

 

And speaking of community...  Sunday at 1:20 pm we'll have little "communal" WOD.  Of the attendees we will take the first five teams of four people for a fun-fest-o-fitness.  Teams of two males and two females will hit it hard, sort of, for a quick 12 minutes (or so) of, sharing. 

 

You will thrill to the raw endurance, marvel at the balance, agility and well, buffoonery.  It'll be fun and we can all stay entertained while the split second times of the individual athletes are finalized.  See you then!

 

As for some of today's fun: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ladies havin' a little fun.

 

Apologies for the delay folks...  Incredible work displayed today by everyone!   Emily and Ruth, we were pulling so hard for you as you hung in there while blood dripped from your hands.  Andy, Mike and Paul, representing with gusto for the um, over 30 crowd.

Some of the combacks were huge as athletes who went down hard to the heat and the workload were able to hydrate and recover enough to strap it back on and go hard for another good workout.  And by good I mean, warm.

Kudos to T. Duchi, USN, for the field expedient ice bath...  Nice!

See you all tomorrow!

Sunday's WOD

Followed by six rounds of:
20 Box Jumps
10 Wall Balls

Some incredible performances are taking place right now on "the beach"!

A huge thanks to the Orange County Sheriff's Department and Luke and Andy for allowing this to happen.  These two deputies have worked like dogs over the last several months to make this come to pass.  

The athletes are killing these WODs with some incredible performances.  Front runners are starting to emerge and the field is becoming well defined.  Here are some of the awesome athletes...

Valerie from CrossFit Culver City and David from CrossFit Marina are currently in 1st place with some wild times in the first WOD.

 

For those who registered on line, the event is at 15991 Armstrong Avenue, Tustin on the 18th and 19th, with check-in opening at 6:30, and the first heat check-in starting at 8:20.  No others will be admitted.

 

3) Read the two workouts for Saturday below.

Workout #1

6 Rounds for time of:
30 Squats
10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
5 Power Clean / Anyway Overhead x 155# (105# women)

This heat will consist of a 25 minute period in which you must complete the workout.

Workout #2

3 Rounds for time of:
450m Run
30 Overhead Squats x 95# (65# women)

There will be a 20 minute period in which you have to complete this workout. 

Workout #3

Will be announced on Saturday afternoon.

Weather is expected to be nice.  But we'll run this if it's hailing...

Beach Chairs and an Easy Up will be the rule of the day.  There should be enough room for all to get comfortable.  Coolers are okay.  Dogs and booze are not.

Food will be available for purchase at a reasonable price in limited supply starting around noon.
  - Bring any special items you need, there is about a 5 minute drive to a Whole Foods Market in a nearby restaurant district.

Water will be provided at the workouts.  There will be running water at drinking fountains at the building next to the Medical area also.  No alcohol is allowed, sorry.

Medical providers are here only for emergent incidents.  We will have a small crew and supplies are limited.  Bring your own chalk, tape, band-aids and antibiotic ointment for your hands please.  The last two years have seen numerous athletes at the games tear their hands competing.  Bring whatever medications you need, and if you even might need an inhaler please bring it.

Restrooms will be provided at the event.  There are no showers for our use, just spotless facilities.

Parking will be free in the large asphalt lot at the Academy site.  There is no overnight parking allowed on the site.

Special thanks go to Jeff and Mikki Martin (CrossFit Brand-X) and Ahmik and Krista Jones (CrossFit SoCal) for the tremendous guidance and effort they've provided for this event.  They are striving to make this a positive venue for the Southern CA CrossFit community to develop and showcase CrossFit's best in our region.

Now let's hit it!
