Crossfit Games and "Every Second Counts"

This will be a quick post, that's for sure.

This weekend, July 10-12th, in Aromas California, the Crossfit Games 2009 kicks off. As many of you know, I volunteered at the Northeast Qualifier that sent the top 5 men and women from each qualifier go on to Aromas (along with the top competitors from last year) and go on to compete for the prize of $5,000 each and the bragging rights for being the fittest person on earth. No one knows what the workouts will be until they "come out of the hopper" but we are told that some things have never been done by Crossfit before, so this should be good. And I will be cheering for our own Crossfit South Brooklyn's Gillian Mounsey, who is one of our coaches and who placed 3rd in last years games. I wish I could be in Aromas to watch, but in the meantime, well, hey, at least the Crossfit movie "Every Second Counts" is coming out and it gives you a great view of what really goes on with Crossfit.



And yes, for those of you who are wondering, this is an incredibly accurate portrayal of Crossfit and the crazy culture that surrounds it-- hand callouses and all.
