DIRTY SOUTH QUALIFIER: DAY TWO

it was a valiant effort on behalf of both chris & jason this weekend at the regionals. at the time of this post, the final results have yet to be posted on the regional website. they were however, able to announce the 7 individuals that will go on to represent the dirty south at the 3rd annual CrossFit Games. unfortunately, we aren't one of them.

it was a privilege to have fought alongside each and every participant this weekend. there were some awesome displays of athleticism and we were both humbled and inspired to say the least. the dirty south will be sending 7 top quality performers and in the truest sense of the word - CROSSFITTERS.

congrats to jared 'doos' davis from CrossFit SouthSide for scoring high enough to be chosen as an alternate for the Games.
a big thank you to the staff of judges and volunteers that made it all happen. our gracious host, CrossFit East owner - TJ Cooper, made it the entire event run smooth and was the man behind the scenes. thank you.

the final wod was for time and consisted of:

1000m row
25 ohs @ 135#
100m sprint
50 full kb swings @ 24kg
100m sprint
25 burpees
200m sprint

    Congratulations to both of you on your amazing efforts. You guys were an inspiration to watch and root for. I am friends with two of your members (Steve & Aaron) and have been crossfitting since September of 08. Steve and I get together and do workouts at the fire station when we can, and otherwise he is at your gym and I have been crafting my own home version since driving to jax is a bit of a stretch on my schedule. Just to see you guys (and all the other competitors) go at it was truly humbling, educational and motivating. I hope to join all of you at CFJAX for a workout some day in the near future. Again, CONGRATULATIONS and Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to crossfit on even harder...
