Okay gang! The Reebok 2012 CrossFit Games Open is here! I’m going to answer what I think are some of the most frequently asked questions for those of you thinking about signing up. We need AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO SIGN UP!! But it’s up to you! Here is the link for you to register. http://games.crossfit.com/

In the CrossFit Games Open you will be competing against yourself and other CrossFitters around the world.

1. Where is the competition going to be held? At Motor City CrossFit during regular class times. We’ll probably have 2 or 3 opportunities per week for you to complete the specified workout (there will be 1 workout per week).

2. But what if I just started CrossFit? It doesn’t matter. Sign up. It’ll be fun and a good comparison for next year.

3. How much is it? it’s $20 bucks. You must register on-line.

4. What is this for? It’s the first step in the elimination process to find the fittest man an woman on the planet. The 2012 CrossFit games.

5. What happens if I do really well? If you finish in the top 3 men and women at Motor City CrossFit you may have the opportunity to compete at regionals later in the spring. You also may have an opportunity to compete as an individual.

6. What if I can’t do the workouts? We’ll modify them for you.

7. What is the deadline to register? You must register by February 22nd.

8. What If I have no idea how to use a computer? Dick and Sherry, you must have somebody help you! Find a friend with a Google machine and make it happen.

9. What if I humiliate myself? You won’t.

10. What if I finish last? You won’t.

Here’s the thing guys – this is for fun – if you find that you’re beating yourself up unsure if you should compete you are worrying too much. The best advice I can give is to pay the $20 bucks and create a profile. You’ll be glad you did, I promise.
