The 2011 CrossFit Games Open found so many athletes competing in their first-ever CrossFit Competition! And whether you’ll admit it or not, you had an AMAZING time!

Good news, the next Colorado Event is here!!! The 2011 Colorado Open will be on August 27th and 28th at Front Range CrossFit. I am pasting their blog announcement below so you can read about the event.

The 2011 Colorado Open, August 27-28th
The Colorado Open is now in it’s fourth year. We are extremely excited to host it again in 2011.

We are holding the 2011 Colorado Open on August 27th and 28th. Individual entries will be $85 per athlete. There are 180 individual spots.

Last year, we started with 125 individual spots. Due to the demand, we then upped it to 150 and then again to 180. That number, 180 athletes, is how many spots we will have again this year. We cannot increase that number without cutting down the number of workouts per athlete. Cutting the volume down is not something that we are willing to do. I believe doing that many workouts in one weekend is a big part of the challange of the event.

So please do not procrastinate this year. If this is an event that you really want to do, please register early.

Any CrossFitter can register as an individual, be scored as an individual, and compete for the individual title. That CrossFitter can be a member of an Affiliate, workout in their garage, at 24-Hour Fitness, etc. There will be a total of 5 workouts over the 2 days. For those of you that competed at the 2010 Colorado Open, the individual competition will be very similar to last year’s Open.

The individual workouts will be able to be scaled for anyone’s ability level.

These are the MAX weights we will use for the listed exercises. We may use lighter weights.
