We are super excited for everyone who is preparing for the Sectionals. This is a major undertaking for the elite of the elite. I hope all the affiliates are planning to attend the Sectionals. The sectionals are the venue for the super elite to show what they have trained for all year, but what about the individuals who do not have that level of physical ability...yet? For anyone who is not quite a fire breather or if you are and have made it past sectionals you may want to consider the Next Level Invitational. After the Sectionals you will need a break and what better way to make sure you are back on track than competing at the Invitational. We would like to have at least 2 athletes compete from every box within the regions we invited.
This will be a great opportunity to allow your athletes to show their ability and to find out what they are made of. Many athletes are comfortable training in their backyard and against the same people day in day out. So we need events like the Invitational to allow these athletes to step outside of the comfort zone and turn up the intensity. Our male intermediate division sold out at the originally 30 athlete cap we had set. We have now have opened it up to 50 total male intermediates.
As for our Affiliate Support Prize competition here is a quick snapshot of the leader board. CrossFit Marina has the lead now with 16 competitors and 2 spectators registered. And we have Orange Coast CrossFit in second with 13 competitors registered.
Are you or your athletes on the fence regarding which division to enter? Here is a little advise. For the advanced, if you can hit a majority of the benchmarks or at least come very close then you should enter here. Understand going in, the Invitational WODS may be the most challenging workouts you or athletes have ever done. Not impossible just very challenging.
Look forward to meeting many of you at the Invitational.
Keep the momentum building and keep training. See you guys at the Sectionals then The Invitational.
