Registration is live for the CrossFit Games 2012 Open. The first of five weekly workouts will be announced on 22 Feb 2012. This should be accessible for everyone so go on, give it a go and experience what it's like to be part of the Worldwide CrossFit community.
For an emplanation of how the Games Season works please have a look at this link and video below.
Update on the CrossFit Open
For those that still want to register please do so as soon as possible (it must be before the first workout is released, see below). Please also ensure you select 'CrossFit Harrogate' as your affiliate otherwise we wont be able to validate your score.
The first workout will be release at 0100 our time on Thursday 23 February 2012. We will programme this as the 'Workout of the day' for all classes taking place on Fri 24 Feb, that means everyone can have a go whether you're registered or not. This process will continue every Thursday and Friday for the next five weeks.
For those that are registered for the Open on the CrossFit Games website you will have until 0100 our time on Mon 27 Feb (which realistically means close of play on Sat 25 Feb) to complete the workout and have your score validated and submitted. You can complete the workout either in the classes or open gym sessions on the Thursday, Friday (with everyone else) or Saturday. You'll have to have a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer present to be able to validate it. You can repeat the workout as many times as you like.
Additionally, we will be coordinating a joint 'Open Workout' with CrossFit HG3 every Saturday for the next five weeks where those that are registered will be able complete that weeks Open workout in more of a competition, though still fun, style environment that should hopefully elicit some personal best performances. There should also hopefully be judges who will count your reps etc. This is optional and we know some of you wont be able to make it but it would be great to get as many of you to these events as possible. Also, if anyone else would like to support those competing then please come along too, the more the better!
On Sat 25 Feb the workout will start at 1200 at CrossFit HG3. The following week, Sat 3 Mar, it will be here at CrossFit Harrogate. The following Saturdays are still to be confirmed.
Hopefully that makes sense, please let us know if there are any questions.
