Planning on entering the individual comp….if all goes well 🙂
I’ll be competing as an individual again this year, this is a great chance to get into the competitive scene and an awesome tune-up for anyone looking to go to Sectionals in the coming year… Get in it gang!
TeeJ, regardless of things “going well” you’re doing it budday – I won’t have it any other way!!!
turts
Id be interested in competing in the affiliate competition. Are we going to enter one?
a) this wod looks awesome
b) can’t enter the challenge! >=(
I am competing as an individual of course 🙂
As much as I would have wanted to make this, I don’t think I will be able to do it. I’ll cheer from the East coast!!
todays wod was superfun! sweaty just like how emily likes it.
i will not be entering the winter challenge, i figure i have gotten myself up to an intermediate level but there is no division this year-booo! it just means i have to improve my skills for next year. i will be there cheering on the crew and taking pics!
I agree with B.. since there’s no division for intermediate folk.. it makes it harder for me to think about entering knowing I’m competing against athletes like Coach D and most likely Alicia Connors!!
I also think their standards are interesting.. some are really high and others are pretty easy.
This would definitely be a Challenge!!
So jealous that I will miss this WOD!
b and Michelle – Sign up anyways! Yeah, you’ll be competing with the “best”, but as you noticed the standards are more similar to the intermediate category from last year than anything else….
Set your goal at something other than getting 1st, maybe use the challenge as a way to focus your efforts on your weaknesses… Or get your Zone buddies to sign up and beat them 😉

You guys rule and I’m honored that so many of you are considering coming out to our event t=again this year. The event is getting unprecidented registration (I am honestly shocked) and in order to get your name in, I recommend you do it ASAP.
See y’all in the box
