CrossFit Sectionals at the Arnold Classic
This year we have 5 athletes competing at the CrossFit Sectionals in Columbus on Sunday in hopes of qualifying for the 2010 CrossFit Games. Unlike most sports where the events are known a year in advance, CrossFit is designed to prepare athletes for the unknown and the unknowable.

Good luck guys! You're gonna kill it. Can't wait to see your faces on the CrossFit Games website!
Kick some ass bro! And good luck to everyone else as well!
Good luck guys! I had originally planned to compete but 5 weeks of daily work emergencies led to me quitting for those 5 weeks (and too much stress). I just started back up on Tuesday and almost had a heart attack. I can't believe how out of shape I got in those 5 weeks!
Favorite WOD: Murph (no vest) and Cindy
Least Fav WOD: Tie between Eva, Kalsu, and Linda
