The Competition Floor - Monday May 15/17
The Competition Floor
It's an exciting week…. The second step in the road to the CrossFit Games begins on Friday! Regionals is starting!! This Friday we kick off with the South Regional and the East Regional (our region!) As always Dave Castro has created a weekend to test the field and find the absolute fittest to head to the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games in Madison this August!
Of course Dave is keeping it interesting as well! For the first time ever there will be no barbell at regionals! Over Head Squats will be done with Dumbbells, Cleans will be done with Sandbags, Deadlifts will be one with KettleBells... As you know, we have always loved odd objects and using dumbbells and kettle bells in place of barbell movements. So we can't wait to see how the regional events play out! After all CrossFit is at it's very core is training for the unknown and unknowable, and Castro is just sending a reminder to the community. CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity and that is just what we will see.
There are a lot of amazing athletes from Canada East taking the floor this weekend in both the team and individual competition. In fact the East Regional might just be the most exciting region to watch this year! In my personal opinion (Jen) the individual mens division at the East Regional is going to be insane!! From Canada East alone we've got Patrick Vellner, Paul Tremblay, ADL, Alex Vigneault, Lucas Parker, Simon Paquette, (All these men have competed at the CrossFit Games), not to mention any who haven't and are ready to give these guys a run. Those are just the Canadian men, we haven't even mentioned the US men in this division, which includes the current Fittest Man on Earth, Mathew Fraser! The women's division also includes an incredible list of ladies, including the current 2x Fittest Woman on Earth Katrin Davidsdottir. It's going to be an exciting weekend for the CrossFit Community! Be sure to tune in to games.crossfit.com throughout the weekend to check out all the fitness!

Yes, it's no secret that I love the sport of CrossFit! This will be the first time I have not personally attended the Canada East / East Regional since 2012, but Emma's grade 8 trip is this week, so we will watch online and cheer from here! It's always exciting and inspiring to watch these events and see the athletes throw down!!
For those who are newer at CFI or maybe don't know, our very own Coach Brit, has been on the competition floor at both the Canada East regional and the super East regional, as well as on the competition floor at the CrossFit Games with a team. Coach Brit changed her focus this year for the open, from making it back to regionals to instead qualifying for the World Police & Fire Games. Proud to let everyone know that this summer Coach Brit will be competing in Carson California, the old home of the CrossFit Games as her open scores in the Fire division worldwide qualified her to earn a spot to compete! Congratulations Coach Brit!! Stay tuned for more details…..
