Get Right For Summer, Day 19

I hope you saved the date a week from today! Here's the info presented in the greatest event format in the world...

WHO: CrossFit Seattle and the northwest CrossFit affiliates
WHAT: The NW Qualifier for the 2009 CrossFit Games!
WHEN: Saturday, May 16th 2009 from 9am to 6pm
WHERE: Hangar 30, Magnuson Park - Seattle, WA
WHY: To find the fittest human beings in the Northwest

Spectators: $5.00 at the door
We initially were not going to have a spectator fee but it has become necessary due to the rising costs of putting on this event. Any money we collect that goes beyond breaking even, will be awarded to the 8 finalists.

Coffee a la Cart : There will be coffee available for purchase at the site from Coffee a la Cart. The coffee served is "Cafe Luca".

From the aforementioned NW Qualifier site:

On Saturday, May 16, 2009, registered competitors will sign-in from 7:30 - 8:30am. No late sign in will be allowed. The competition will be from 9:00am – 6:00pm. There will be 2 events.

...

No information about the actual exercises and/or events will be given to anyone until May 9th, one week before the competition. In general you can expect to produce force slowly, produce force quickly, demonstrate skill in moving your body and external objects through space, and demonstrate exceptional work capacity. You know - CrossFit.

CrossFitters and other athletes from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington will battle it out for one of the only 8 spots. The winners from this competition will go on to the 2009 CrossFit Games July 10th, 11th and 12th in Aromas, CA.

and then from that OTHER aforementioned site:

What are the CrossFit Games?

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling two-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is almost completely a mystery.

In 2009, the format is still a complete mystery.

Oooh. Time to support our CrossFit community to find out who the other beasts in the northwest are... other than all of the affiliate trainers, that is (=
