My friends at the 1830 class
3x3 PressAMRAP in 10min of:
5 Burpees
10 Med Ball Cleans
20 Double Unders
Why?
I overheard a conversation the other night, and it got me thinking.
The question going around was "why do we do it?". The "it" being CrossFit with all of the stressors, demands, heavy weights, high reps, etc. Is it competition? The ego or the Id? The social side of a good class? Suffering or competing with friends? Maybe you're going in to the police academy or getting ready for BUD/S. Perhaps trying out for CAG?
Maybe it's part or all of these things. Or none of the above.
What else out there gets folks counting almonds and dudes shaving their chests?

Announcing the 2010 CrossFit Games
The 2010 CrossFit Games will take place at The Ranch in Aromas, CA on July 16 - 18, 2010.Stay tuned for more details. This year, you will have to qualify for the Regionals by being a top performer at one of many smaller Sectional competitions. That is, unless you competed in the 2009 Games, in which case you are automatically qualified for the Regionals.
There are not quite as many regions, and most regions will not be sending quite as many competitors. Only 100 athletes will make it to the Individual competition in Aromas '10, fifty men and fifty women.
The events and scoring system for the 2010 Games will be kept a mystery until right before the competition. Only one thing is known: they will be different from any of the past CrossFit Games.
How do you prepare for a competition of an unknown nature? Easy! Specialize in not specializing. Overcome your weaknesses. Fortify your strengths. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. And, develop tremendous power across broad time and modal domains.
