Team, in a few weeks some of our best will be heading to Chicago for the 2012 Regionals in the CrossFit Games.

This is a big deal.  There were a LOT of teams that were competing this year(130 in our region), and only 30 qualified.  Over three days we will be doing a total of at least 5 wods... maybe 6 if we make the cut.  Here is the first....

Notice in the vid how Sage really does 'split' her feet apart down the middle.  So many of our athletes favor the incorrect 'step back' split jerk, which can be passable under light weight with strength reserves, but begins to fail as the load increases our muscles fatigue.
