Next Level Invitational Series
June 7, 2010

Welcome to the Next Level Invitational Series.  This series will be held over the course of 9 months.  The kickoff date is August 14, 2010.  The subsequent dates are December 4, 2010 and the championship date will be April 9, 2010.  Our goal is to produce high quality events and to continuously solidify our position that CrossFit is the best way to determine overall physical fitness as defined by increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.

 Here is a brief overview:
1.     Cap entries per gym @ 15 competitors total.  Male competitors = 9 max  (3 per division max)/ Female competitors =6 max per each affiliate (2 per division max)
2.     Early Registration will open on July 1 2010 @ 12pm and close July 16 2010 @ 12am
3.     Individual Competitor registration fee = $40 before July 16 2010 @ 12am. After July 16 12am and before July 25 2010 12am registration fee = $50.
4.     Team registration fee = $50.  Team entries accepted for advanced and intermediate divisions only
5.     Registration fee includes full day of competition, a competitor bag filled with the series t-shirt, water bottle, and competitor wrists bands plus other goodies from our participating sponsor.
6.     To ensure quality control we strongly suggest each affiliate hold a tryout.  This tryout will help eliminate range of motion issues and athletes not quite ready to compete. 
7.     All competitors must complete division qualification form for verification of division placing.  This sheet will be available for download before registration opens. Go to http://www.crossfitnlp.com/_blog/Next_Level_Invitational
8.     For every 4 competitors registered by an affiliate, one volunteer must also register from the same affiliate.  Example: If a gym has 12 athletes competing, they would also register 3 volunteers.  If this affiliate has qualified judges, then they can also be counted as volunteers.
9.     Qualified Judges are needed.  Judges must be Level 1 certified with experience coaching in an active affiliate.  The application will be available for download @ http://www.crossfitnlp.com/_blog/Next_Level_Invitational.  This is the most important position of the entire event.  We must maintain quality in order to build the sports reputation.  It is up to us to step up and create the baseline for all other events to look up to.

My name is Brian... and I am an addict. It has been one day since my last WOD. It was hard to take today off, and it will be even harder tomorrow.

For what it is worth, I plan to enter the Masters category at this NLP thing. I will leave you young pups to fight for the 3 spots In the Advanced category.

215# ... just shy of my PR @ 218# -- although I was 15# heavier when I did that.  Also felt great to regain some confidence after hurting my wrist the last time we did heavy hang cleans.  Gave 225 a shot at the end .... and caught it clean ... got up above parallel and just lost it at the last possible moment.  Bitter.

It was great having Jon there making it all look so easy to keep me confident and pushing forward.

luke is the ultimate motivator.  Screaming "DRIVE" in my ear kept the intensity up on the heavy lifts i didnt think i could put up...
