Does everyone do all the WOD's or are people eliminated from Sunday?

17. Todd (CrossFit BGI) wrote...

Competitor registration is CLOSED. We chose to close it Monday once the movement standards were released. If you wanted to compete, you had since December to register. We did not feel it was fair to allow registration once the "unknown and unknowable" was "known and knowable"

No elimination or cuts.

No time limit on WOD 4

Not really met-con games. This includes 2 max effort lifts and a nice blend of energy pathways.

WOD 1: 8-minute multi-movement metcon
WOD 2: 11-minute multi-movement metcon
WOD 3: peak power event
WOD 4: 15-minute multi-movement metcon

I'm sensing a bias towards medium-duration, multi-movement metcons. Call me crazy.
Let the MetCon Games begin!

11 March 2010 / 5:57 p.m.

34. Todd Lynch - CrossFit BGI wrote...

Troll...err Tee:

Correction- WOD 2 is only 9 minutes of actual work (or metcon as you refer to it). WOD 4 in 15 minutes? Goodluck with that

11 March 2010 / 7:31 p.m.

35. Tee wrote...

Okay, 20 minutes for WOD 4. What is your point? Three events that take a similar amount of time to finish. Only one pure power event. No long endurance event, at least not what any endurance athlete would consider long.

How many events does it take to find the best athlete in the category of "Multi Exercise Workouts In The One-Half To Two-Thirds Oxidative Time Domain" i.e. the Crossfit Metcon?

11 March 2010 / 8:09 p.m.

36. Damon - Wasatch wrote...

Logistically it's very difficult to include an endurance event. Even a 5K run isn't truly a measure of endurance. How exciting would it be to have a 1 hour rowing time trial? Yawn. Endurance events happy virtually every weekend all across America. We don't need them at Crossfit Sectionals.

11 March 2010 / 8:46 p.m.

37. Match wrote...

Maybe you should take up power lifting or ultra marathons or both if thats the events you want to see?
I also dont see how a 9 minute workout and a 20 minute workout are the same either?
You obviously havent ever run an event with 100s of competitors or you would understand some of the parameters these guys have.
Well done on the WODs

38. Just Curious wrote...

Hello & good luck to all the competitors! Just curious...does one coach or CrossFit gym in your area program the sectionals or do they all come together and do it? It seems like it would be fair that all the coaches come together for programming, otherwise, the programming could end up biased towards certain athletes of the "host" gym.

I think you guys did a great job. Especially for the number of competitors you have to hold! Love the challenge of heavier Thrusters at the end of day 1 and all muscle groups are used equally! Very excited..

Only 2 wods a day...Nice
Thought for sure you would have to qualify for the 4th wod.

When we check in today can we look at the trail?
Or describe it to us?
Want to make sure I wear the right gear.

On WODs 1 & 4, are we able to wear cleated shoes i.e. football/soccer cleats? Dude wants to know (its dependant upon whether he'll work out and participate or not)

I guess you cant keep everyone happy.

Guess her husband did an ultra marathon when he said he was going to get milk and never came back home.

Good job Todd.

People talk all crazy sh#! , however they have no idea how hard it is to set up an event like this.

By the way, this is only the sectionals. WODs like you are saying will possibly come up at the Regionals or Games. Or maybe you are following the wrong sport.

Todd, Dana and everybody else

The whole weekend ran very smooth and was a ton of fun. The WODs were much more challenging than a lot of people expected. Thanks again for everything.

Congrats to all the competitore and especially to Dan and Pete from our box.

One final note: a special thanks to the judges who had to turn the other cheek during some frustrating moments. Thanks for volunteering your time.

Thanks to every single person that helped put together a very well run and efficient event. BGI staff, judges, volunteers, medical, the guy that cleaned the port-o-lets, the chip timers (Never though I'd see that at a CF competition!), every single last person that made this a special weekend for a lot of people. Thank You!
We brought 8 people from our gym, 5 first timers, and they all enjoyed every second of the weekend.
It's no easy task to pull off a show of that size and you guys nailed it. BRAVO!

Thank you to everyone that made this weekend possible. Dana and Todd: you have a beautiful box, and did a great job hosting! We had a blast and everything moved like clock-work! The energy was amazing and the athletes really put on a show. Real Fitness is sending one male and one female Athlete to Jacksonville... See you at Regionals!

Hats off to everyone at BGI. The entire event ran so smoothly. Todd, you ran a great show - very professional.

The WODs were fun and tough (that's Crossfit) Everyone kicked ass! Congrats to everyone who made it to regionals - you did awesome!!!

Thank you to everyone for the compliments, but honestly there were soooooo many people that made this event a success. I had a GREAT staff that handled every little problem that arose seamlessly. I am extremely grateful to them.
Congrats to all those that qualified. I think most in attendance feel the WODs were a good test of fitness.
I will get a recap of the weekend in to HQ tomorrow.

TJ: Dana has a beautiful box. I just get to work in it ;)
