1 More Day Left to Register!

Just a quick reminder to everyone out there who like to wait until the last minute: Registration for the NorCal Qualifiers closes tomorrow night (Friday 4/17) at midnight. That gives you about 18 hours to get to it!

Spread the word and let anyone who's on the fence know that they need to get on it.

Look for posts in the next week or so concerning workout details, when competitors need to show up to sign in at the Ranch, and a ton of other FAQ topics.

It's getting close. May 2-3 is just around the corner!

Cubby is getting "Fit as F**k!" He is just about ready to "Bring the Ruckus" come May 2-3rd. Everyone at Crossfit Redding is looking forward to see how he matches up against the big dogs. Cubby is 19 years old and has gained about 20 lbs in one year of doing CrossFit at CrossFit Redding and has been ramping it up the past few months. He is highly self motivated to train hard as well as help others become better at CrossFit. He is a former high school wrestler and was on the swim team. Currently he is going to school and is a Level 1 certified trainer as well as part owner of CrossFit Redding. He is really looking forward to mixing-it-up with the big dogs in Northern California and really wants one of those 5 slots available!

Favorite WOD - Mr. Joshua and 5 Rds 10 Squat Cleans (135#) + 3 Legless Rope Climbs, not for how much they kick my @$$!

Favorite Activities: Making his daughter laugh, whitewater rafting, being a goof with his family & friends around the fire pit enjoying stories and wine (and maybe a s'more or two).

Will was born in San Jose and moved to Fremont when he was 9 (has been there ever since). He was very ill as a baby and stopped breathing several times but now, hasn't been sick since he was 16 (17 years)! Will married his high school sweetheart. They have been together for 16 years and have a 17 month old daughter. Will used to think he was the Incredible Hulk and moved around the furniture pretending they were cars while watching the old Hulk show with Lou Ferigno. Currently trying to figure out how to masquerade as Jolie Gentry's boyfriend just once to see what it's like to take her out for some ICE CREAM. (Just foolin' guys...maybe :))

T-Shirts!

Look for an email within the next couple of day asking you for your shirt size. The email will go out to everyone who has registered to date. Also, if you have not yet registered, make sure to include your t-shirt size when registering for the Qualifiers.

If we don't receive an email response from you, you'll get the following t-shirt:

• If you're male, you'll get a men's large.
• If you're female, you'll get a women's medium.
  

Also, there are only 8 days left until the price for competing in the NorCal Qualifiers goes up to $100. It will change to $100 on April 1.

And congratulations to Ly Terrado of CrossFit Vallejo for designing the winning t-shirt logo.
