Molly enjoying herself with posting times and results at the Mid-Atlantic Qualifier.

Great job this weekend. The qualifier would not have run as smoothly without you.
The least you could have done is padded Scrappy's results a bit and deducted a few seconds from his WOD's.

NOTE:
This Saturday looks like it is going to be a rainy one, so we are looking to run 2 heats. We will run on a first come first serve basis. Due to the large numbers we have been having on Saturdays we are looking to make some changes with our Saturday schedule. We are planning on running 2 classes at 730am and 815am. Let us know by commenting here which time works best for you. We will let you know more details this Saturday depending on responses.

Womens Results

Today the guys were back at it for one final workout at the Mid-Atlantic Qualifier. They all had spectacular performances which moved them all up in overall placement! (videos to come soon). Felice earned 14th place overall in this weekend's festivities. Scrappy finished the weekend in 29th place after placing 12th in today's workout. And the highlight of today for CrossFit Apex was during the final heat which was the top 10 ten men from yesterday's wods. Josh was 5th starting over 2:30 seconds after the first place competitor. There was a staggard start to make it easier to see who the overall finishers would be. Josh pulled out a phenomenal performance of 6:49 which was the 3rd best time for that wod and secured him a place on the podium and a trip to Aromas for the 2009 CrossFit Games!!! He made the workout look like it was his playground :) Way to go Josh! We are so proud of you and will be cheering you on all the way!

Stay tuned for Josh's profile to be posted to the CrossFit Games website in the next few days!

Mid-Atlantic Qualifier DAY 1 Results

So Day 1 is complete at the Mid-Atlantic Qualifiers. Here are the results from your Apex representatives. Currently Josh is in 5th place, Felice is in contention at 14th place and Scrappy is in 46th. The boys are doing GREAT! It was one heck of a day here at Virginia Beach with scorching heat outside for wod 3 which both Scrappy and Josh had as their final wod. The competition here in the Mid-Atlantic is legit and you can see that by how close theses times are for the top 20. Josh will be competing in tomorrow's staggard start final wod which is 21-15-9 95/65 Snatch and Chest-to-Bar pull ups! It will be an exhausting workout after today's intense leg eccentric wods. Felice will be competing in the 2nd to last men's heat. So glad our Apex boys have been going C2B for a while now with thier pull-ups! Check out thier times below for all three wods. As we all know from last year's games, the top 6 spots are still anyone's for the taking...let's take em home boys! Best of luck fellas GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!! We're so proud of you!


You can also check the "Game's Site" from the mainpage http://games2009.crossfit.com/ for more tomorrow after the final wod. We will be traveling home right after the Qualifer ends.

Friday afternoon we took some shots of the Blauer Tactical Center.

Good luck at the Qualifier Josh, Felice, and Scrappy!











We are so excited to have 3 of our very own compete at this year's CrossFit Games Qualifier. Josh, Felice, and Scrappy will all be representing CrossFit Apex down at the Mid-Atlantic Qualifier in Virginia Beach. There are about 120 men competeing and only the top 6 will go to this year's 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA. It will be an intense weekend!
