My buddy, Ron Ortiz, on his way to winning the 45-49 year old age category in the Masters Division of the 2013 CrossFit Games. In the last three years that the Games have had Open qualifiers for masters age groups, the top 20 in each age/gender go directly to the Games.
This year, the top 200 men and women in each age group now have to do 4 more workouts (in four days) and submit online (just like the Open). The athlete gets their standing in the Open as one score, and each subsequent workout counts as another individual score. After that, the top 20 go to the Games.
Ron is in the mix AGAIN! I know the Champ will be a contender. Also in the mix for 2014 Games? Our own Diane Urban! Diane finished the Open in 34th place, so she has a good shot if she kicks ass in the last four workouts.
The last four workouts are to be released on 4/17 at 5pm, and all four scores must be submitted by 4/21 at 5pm. I'm not sure what Diane's schedule is to do the workouts, but I also qualified and will be doing the workouts likely on Sunday and Monday. If you aren't out and about celebrating Easter that weekend, I'd like to invite all you One World folks to do the workouts with either (or both) Diane and I. It's SOOOOOO much better for us to have people doing the workouts with us and others cheering us on.
I'll keep you all posted on dates and times.
