Area 51

So there are 13 Regional Qualifiers around the world providing the top 2 or 3 male and female participants for the 2010 CrossFit Games Finals. In total, only the top 50 men and top 50 women make it - including provisions for past winners and the top five finishers from the previous year. With that being said, had each Regional provided the top 7 athletes of each gender, the top 91 females from the regional qualifiers would be competing against the top five from the previous year and the past champions from 2007 and 2008. In total, there would be 98 female competitors. Folks, if the latter scenario was the case, our very own Karianne Dickson, who finished in 7th place in the Northeast Regional this past weekend, would be going to LA for the games. Even though she didn't make the official cut, I think its very safe to say that our Coach is easily one of the top 100 female athletes IN THE WORLD!

Great job Karianne - you're an inspiration to us all!

And a Happy Birthday today to my sister Angelica - who for the past year thought she was already 26...
