Okay boyz and girls I have registered a team for the affiliate cup at the CrossFit Games in Aromas California (1 hour outside San Fransisco). The 1st day of the affiliate competition will be held on Friday July 9th. The top five teams will then compete in a winner takes all event on Sunday morning right before the mens and womens final for the individual competition.
First off with the affiliate cup competition, this is much more about having a good time than it is about winning. All the workouts can be scaled down to suit any individuals levels which means any athlete can and should try out for the team.
Teams are made up of at least two men and two women and then you can have an additional two people of any sex that make up your 4-6 person team. There will be between 1-3 workouts on the Friday and only 4 athletes can workout in any given WOD. Each workout will be a team workout (ie. Do 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats with only 1 person from the team working at a time.....stuff like that).
How can you qualify for the CrossFit Lions Team? We are going to hold a try out day for the team on Saturday June 6th. We will have two separate workouts with at least a 1 hour break in between workouts. Workouts to be announced on Monday June 1st on this site. Following the workouts on Saturday assuming the weather is good we will have a BBQ at the "Den", if the weather is no good we will take the party to Cactus Club on Pemberton. It will be BYOB but all are welcome even if you don't want to go to the games.
A few notes here:
Chelan and I will be trying out for the team even though I will also be making up the workouts.
CrossFit Lions is incurring the cost placing a team for the Games however you will be responsible for your flight, hotel and costs.
Proposed Itinerary will be to fly out Thursday night July 9th. Compete on Friday July 10th. Stay and be a drunk spectator for the individual competition on Saturday and Sunday. Some people might want to spend an extra day or two in SF on the way back and that is up to them. We will be renting a car and staying in Santa Cruz for the weekend.
This is a great weekend that I guarantee will be an awesome time for all who come. If you don't qualify or don't want to be on the "team" you are still more than welcome to come down and join us for a great weekend and cheer on the CrossFit Lions teams and all the individuals from Canada competing in the individual competition Saturday and Sunday.
If you aren't here for the qualifying Saturday workout but would like to try out for the team let me know and you can do the workouts earlier that week.
