Thursday - Reasons why you should go to the CrossFit Games

Highlights from the 2008 Crossfit Games

REASONS YOU SHOULD GO TO THE 2011 REEBOK CROSSFIT GAMES:

     1. Woodstock of Ftiness: The CrossFit Games has grown into something huge. CrossFit is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. It is the time of the year to appreciate and spectate what defines true fitness. As you all know the community is unique in the CrossFit world, everyone going is there to have a great time! Expect a lot of beer drinking and good music to go with watching the competition.

       2. The Venues: A great time to save $$ on shipping and there will be some pretty decent deals on CrossFit related products. Ranging from the clothes to the equipment. Going to the games will be a great time to purchase a jump rope! You will be able to try the equipment out before you buy them. Also The Reebok store will be there. Make sure you head to their video booth to tell your story. Check out their new line of CrossFit shoes!

       3. Motivation: When I went to my very first CrossFit competition (2010 OC Throwdown), I did not know what to expect. I went home with goals and determination. It was a big eye opener seeing what people can do, especially from other affiliates. This wasn't a one time thing, EVERYTIME you go to a competition, you go home motivated. The CrossFit Games is no exception. There will be some very inspirational moments, every year there was something going on where an athlete had to persevere and the support of the spectators pushed these athletes beyond what he/she thought they can do. It is truely an amazing experience to be a part of that!

     4. Swaga: Buy the Games Shirts, Save the ticket. Purchase Games accessories. This is history in the making. CrossFit is only going to continue to grow. There will never be another 2011 CrossFit Games but it will be remembered as the roots of what is going to be a World Class Sport.


      5. The Masters Competition: This year we get to watch the Masters compete in their very own stadium that will be built in the parking lot. I am very interested to see who these top 20 athletes in the world are that are 60+ years old!
