CrossFit Games Qualifier

OK sports fans, this was on my list of activities I had planned for 2009. The SE CrossFit Qualifiers is a precursor to the CrossFit Games held this July in Aromas, California. The top seven men and women of this weekend's fun get to go to Cali. Since the competitors consist of 94 various guy that either own or are trainers at CF gyms (aka Affiliates), and myself, I don't give myself much of a chance to crack the top seven-or top half for that matter. Still, the workouts planned play more into my strengths that some of the other Qualifiers, so that makes me a bit more optomistic. Here are the workouts planned for Saturday, with Sunday's final workout being revealed about 12 hours before its supposed to start.

The Dirty South Event WOD's!

Saturday AM Event WOD #1

3 min Max Points Suicide Run

2 min Rest

3 min Max Rep Deadlift (275 lb. Men) (185 lb. Women)

All competitors will complete the AM WOD, then after 3 1/2 hours rest begin one of their two afternoon WOD's. Some competitors will begin the afternoon with Event WOD #2 and some will begin with Event WOD #3. The afternoon Event WOD order is randomly predetermined for all competitors. All competitors will be given equal rest between WOD's.
