Hello Zoners,
It’s been a few months since the last Zone Games and we’ve seen amazing fitness improvements within our community. People are hitting PR’s all over the place and breaking through into previously-uncharted fitness territory! If you’re one of those PR people or need some more motivation to train for a goal then it’s time to step up and WOD in a fun competitive environment 🙂
On February 13 (Sunday), we will be staging Zone Games 3. It will be a one-day competition, comprised of 2-3 competitive events. A new feature of this round is the addition of a third competitive category. In prior ZG, we offered Open and Advanced categories. For Zone Games 3 we will have Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced categories:
- The Beginner group will participate in 2 activities and will be fully scalable.
- The Intermediate category will be similar to prior versions of the Open with recommended standards for entry.
- The Advanced group will remain an uncompromising test with no scaling options and standards for entry.
If you’ve thought about trying a competition but have been waiting for the “right time”, well that time has come. I doubt you’ll find any competitor from prior games who have had a bad experience or not wanted to compete again!
Here are the official details – please note the cutoff date for registering!
Event: Zone Games 3
Date: Sunday, February 13, 2011.

Registration fee: $30 (cash only!) – Cut off date: Monday Feb 7th

Step up and show us what you’ve got!
Turts.

oh rotten timing… I’ll miss being in the games, but I’ll be cheering from Kauai!
Hmm interesting. I will be in Victoria in the 13th. Consider me signed up.
Yaaaaaaaaaay Spidey!!! It’ll be great to have you!
Any chance you guys can have a webcast of these games? That way Wendy and I can take our laptop down to the beach and watch you guys sweating while still getting a tan.
Since scaling will be allowed, may I compete in the Beginner category?
Wendy: Oh no… sorry 🙁 it fits in well with the Olift comp 2 weeks later and gives a few weeks before sectionals begin – maybe you and CC can pop into a CF affiliate and do the wods!
Spidey: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Chris… Most likely… watch out for the glare out there budday
Doc: Yes, I believe you will be able to pop in, should be fun!
