What are the CrossFit Games?

“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.

The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”

Greg Glassman, CrossFit Co-Founder & CEO
3, 2, 1 — GO!

TexasPatrick,
Wasatch Crossfit in Kaysville is probably 10 minutes from Bountiful. Check out there site at www.wasatchcrossfit.com and get in touch with Damon. Great people up there at WasatchCF, they'll take care of you.

Hooyah Utah! TP, you're welcome to come on down. We've got some monsters in Utah (Speal) and some new ones coming out of the woodworks. Good luck to our CF Games crew, I can't make it this year but we'll be sending a monster team down in 2009.

Will try and do. It'll be nice to get some high altitude training . . . gasp gasp . . .
