Ok gang, CFL is registered as an affiliate. We encourage you to be a part of the CrossFit community, pay your $10 and participate in the CrossFit Open. You can register here.
6 weeks of workouts starting 3/19 at 10AM here at your home gym with all your friends. Oh ya, scaling is fine!
Below is a cool testimonial Corene forwarded to us the other day:
Okay, so I got Games fever last night and took my $10 and threw it on the table and registered for the Open. Why? Just to be in the ring. I have no pretensions, but I got heart. This was more about saying “Hey world! I’m a CrossFitter!” than it was about where or how I finish. Eventually, I know I’m not going to be IN the Games, I’m going to be AT the Games — and that’s okay too. But for the upcoming 6 weeks, I’m going to step it up and give my all every Saturday in the proverbial ring.
Why do I do these things? Because I’m stupid. Because I’m an overachiever. Because I’m really kinda messed up. Any and all answers will be graded as correct. (See here for my previous stupidity in 2008.)
I have no illusions. When the hot June sun hits for Regionals, I won’t be under the pull-up bar, I’ll be shaking hands in the shade. When the lights come on in the late July sky in Los Angeles and the crowd starts to roar at the CrossFit Games, I’ll be down in the press box, Facebooking the moment. At this stage of my life (and pretty much every stage) I’m more writer than athlete.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to chalk up and throw down. It doesn’t mean I’m going to sit on the sidelines in the first round and golf clap.
See, I have this hobby: it’s called Smack-talking. And I got this passion: it’s called CrossFit. Turns out they’re a perfect match. And I got this love: it’s called Community. That’s the cherry on top of it all.
For six Saturdays in a row, I’m going to step up and give my all in a competition where I am way overmatched. I’m going to judge and cheer on other fools like me — and a whole bunch of athletes better than me. Then I’m going to throw some meat on the grill and enjoy some beverages with my CrossFit family. And I really don’t know which part I’ll enjoy the most, ’cause I love ‘em all.
So tell me this, are you signing up for the Open? And if not, why not? Life is short. Take your $10 and toss your hat in the ring. Be a part of our play-offs, Super Bowl, World Series, whatever you want to call it.
See you guys on Saturday 3/19 at 10AM!

Love this! Thanks Corene!
Fuck it..... I'm in!!!
Oh, and by the way, someone WILL beat Montoya on Saturday. He's gotten soft over the past few weeks galavanting about the globe. Time for that slacker to be served some humble pie. My money is on Jeremy or Kyle!
All signed up and ready to give Chris Spealler a run for his money! (NOT)
Isn't it great! It came from CrossFit Lisbeth.
Wade-You're signing up right? Smacktalk and CrossFit sounds JUST like you!
Wade totally threw the challenge flag....I LOVE IT!
I guess there's no better way to get my a** back into it!!! I'm in!!!!!
J - I totally see you giving Spealler a run for his money!!!!
I'm in, although on the 19th we'll be at the Muay Thai competition...Ian, can we do the 19th's WOD during open gym sometime if we can't be there Saturday?
And, Wade, I like to dream about beating Marc in a WOD one day, too...I have a feeling, though, that a dream is all it will ever be. He's a fucking overachiever at everything he does, whether he takes time off or not. It's total and complete bullshit. I love him, though =)
Jarah, I have no real illusions of competing w Marc. Just stirrin the pot a little. Much respect for him! I am pretty sure You hold the title belt at home!
Hell yes I signed up Corene! I figure that I win if I even survive it.Why else do we subject ourselves to this Crossfit madness? I'd rather run my mouth and compete than sit on the sidlines and be a hater.
And Jason, you actually have a realistic chance to go far in the games competition.You're always humble, but I'm not the only one who thinks so.
You can do them anytime you want Jarah, it's just that the gym will only validate your score if you perform the workout during the 10AM Saturday session.
already signed up....
me too.......
How can you not get in after that article.
Yay Jenn!!!!!
Wade, keep stirring...I like to not be the only one giving him shit on a daily basis. =)
Shut them Haters up Wade!!! Beast MODE!!!
I'll be watching from the sidelines this time around but I'll still talk trash. Thats how I roll
