Has the CrossFit Open wetted your appetite for competition? Are you wondering what it woud be like to throw down during a weekend-long competition versus one that lasts for 6 weeks? If so, Front Range CrossFit is again hosting their Colorado Open on August 27th and 28th! This will be the fourth year for this event, and those of us who competed last year can tell you that it is a great time. Here is what they have to say:
We are holding the 2011 Colorado Open on August 27th and 28th. Individual entries will be $85 per athlete. There are 180 individual spots.
Registration will open on May 1st. At that time, like last year we will be releasing the maximum weights for each potential exercise that will be used in the workouts.
Last year, we started with 125 individual spots. Due to the demand, we then upped it to 150 and then again to 180. That number, 180 athletes, is how many spots we will have again this year. We cannot increase that number without cutting down the number of workouts per athlete. Cutting the volume down is not something that we are willing to do. I believe doing that many workouts in one weekend is a big part of the challange of the event.
So please do not procrastinate this year. If this is an event that you really want to do, please register early.
Any CrossFitter can register as an individual, be scored as an individual, and compete for the individual title. That CrossFitter can be a member of an Affiliate, workout in their garage, at 24-Hour Fitness, etc. There will be two individual workouts on Saturday and two individual workouts on Sunday. For those of you that competed at the 2009 Colorado Open, the individual competition will be very similar to last year’s Open.
The individual workouts will be able to be scaled for anyone’s ability level.
Several of our athletes waited a little too long last year and had to wait until they added spots to get signed up. If you think this is something you'd like to do, please be sure to sign up on May 1st!
