December 11
You wonder why I ended the Challenge during the first week of March? Well, the rumors have come to fruition: Ohio's Sectional [for qualifiers wanting to compete in the 2010 CrossFit Games] will be held at this year's Arnold Classic in Columbus. If you don't already know, this is a big freakin' deal...
What would you do with an extra $25,000 next year? That's the purse for next year's Games champions. Holy Harden The F Up! If that doesn't motivate folks to exceed their own and other's limits, then I don't know what will.
CrossFit CLE wants to train you for Sectionals [and Regionals and The Games]! We already have a couple individuals taking the next step in their training. If you have an interest, shoot me an email at travis@crossfitcle.com. Coach Travis and I will be meeting this week to discuss these individuals and get the Atlas Stones rollin'...
If you didn't complete the CrossFit CLE Total last month or simply want to redo the workout, today is the day. Also, if you missed DT or either of the other challenges, do it today.
If you're one of the athletes who wanted an extension on the workouts, you still need to send your BEFORE pics by midnight Friday along with your $5 ante. (And you have until the 18th to complete the challenges AT THE GYM with either Coach Travis. Get it done... Yeah, I'm talking to you. Ehhemmm...)

This has been a week with some grueling workouts. [This one is definitely no different.] I'm really proud of all of you! Many of you -- long-time and new CLE athletes -- have taken the bull by the horns with this challenge, and have shown a great deal of excitement. Now, don't let it end here. Hell, this is really only the beginning.
You will be challenged, pushed and pulled in my directions, and asked to move beyond many of your own comfort levels... Do this now and be rewarded for years to come. You all have it within you...
UNLEASH YOUR INNER BEAST!


Looks like Regionals are going to be in Ohio too! Might conflict with finals, but I have a feeling my grandpa might die at around that time...again....
For all the Beyond The Whiteboard user:
I've updated/created many of the WOD's that have been ran at CLE lately. I'm sure I missed a couple.
I will try to keep it updated, but like everyone else, life is extremely busy.
If anyone else wants to tackle keeping it up to date let me or Carl know.
Be good boys & girls, Santa is watching.
