All, the Front Range CrossFit’s Colorado Open Registration opens
tomorrow at 9am.  The Colorado Open will be held on Aug 25-26 at FRCF
which is located in south Denver.  This competition is probably the
most popular annual local competition in the area.  A number of us
from Roots have competed in the CO Open since it started.  The two-day
competition will most likely be made up of 5 workouts, two scheduled
workout each day and a “floater” workout to be done on one of the days
when you want to do it (last year it was row 1,000m for time).  The
details and the max weights possible for potential movements are on
the FRCF’s website:  http://www.frontrangecrossfit.com/  On the right
hand side of the webpage, click on the “FRCF Event Series” button.
From there, on the left hand side of the webpage, click on the
“Colorado Open” button.
If you have wanted to enter into a CrossFit competition, this is a
good one to do.  The weights will not be as heavy as previous years
(see website) and there are no Muscle Ups or HSPUs.  It is challenging
and tough, but it also is an electric atmosphere and a lot of fun –
very similar to our Roots Open workouts on Thursday nights but louder
and more people cheering you on.
The main reason I am posting this now is that due to this event’s
popularity, it will most likely sell out fast.  I would not be
surprised if it fills up tomorrow.  If not tomorrow, then in the next
day or two.  So, if you are serious about wanting to do it, you need
to be logged on to a computer at 9am to get registered.
