Still A Mystery
May 6, 2010

Be sure to call out sick on Friday since the the best of the 50+ crowd will be throwing down in the CrossFit Games Masters Regionals. CrossFit Ethos is proud to host this groundbreaking event! We need the hometeam there to support, and to help as volunteers if needed. We're anticipating several hundred spectators and athletes. Admission at this location is free so join us as we kick off the 2010 SW Regional.  In addition to supporting the Masters athletes, there will be food, entertainment and a sneak peak at Games sponsors' booths. Registration begins at 11am. The throwdown begins at 1pm.

This weekend, at the University of California Irvine, there will be five epic battles for a very small number of berths at the 2010 CrossFit Games:

Individual Men (4 spots)
Individual Women (4 spots)
Teams (8 spots)
Masters Men (15 spots worldwide)
Masters Women (15 spots worldwide)

For the first time ever, CrossFit is going to stream live coverage of the event free at live.crossfit.com. Coverage will be all day Saturday and Sunday, now with six cameras, three full time announcers, and at least four guest announcers. For those of you not able to tune in live, we will also create  archives of each hour's footage for download on demand.

In the individual competitions, the top men and women from each of the four Sectionals (San Diego/AZ, SoCal, Northern California, Hawaii) will battle against the 10 men and 10 women who were prequalified from last year's Games.

There are 70 teams competing for 8 spots. Teams registered first-come, first-served with no qualification required. We expect a pretty high degree of variation in ability among the teams, but there's no doubt the top spots will be fiercely contested.

The Masters men and women are performing locally, but competing directly against the other Masters from all the other Regionals. Their workouts have been standardized, and the top 15 will be invited to the Home Depot Center regardless of where they competed.

The parking structure nearest the event fields has a capacity of 1100 vehicles so there should be no need for overflow.  There is no overnight RV parking on the UCI campus. Day parking for larger RV type vehicles is available in uncovered lots near the main event complex.

Venue: 
Easy ups, folding chairs and other supporting gear is allowed in the Crawford Field area for relaxing in between heats.  There are restrooms and locker room facilities for changing. Competitors are free to use the lockers but locks may not be left on overnight.

Food will be sold (grilled fish, beef, chicken, salads, fruit, plus burgers and dogs, along with beverages).

Coolers with food and beverages are allowed.  A strict NO ALCOHOL policy will be enforced by campus security.

 Unfortunately pets are not allowed per university policy.

Today was a fun one...hopefully Nick goes with the same warm-up that Phil had us do this morning.  Good stuff...

"That... is a really interesting painting."


"Thank you. Yeah, that's me, taking the bull by the horns. It's how I handle business. It's a metaphor. "


"I get it. "


"But that actually happened, though. "
