Folks.  These are the facts of the case.
1)  Games WOD 12.4 will be performed at Metropolis during regular KHours (9,10,11am) on Saturday.  For most of you, its business as usual.  Everyone will be encouraged to attempt RX’d, but scaling options abound.

2)  Games WOD 12.4 will also be performed at CrossFit Virtuosity in Williamsburg on Saturday.  People planning on being competitive need to go there to take advantage of high rings for MUs.  I need a headcount of who is planning on doing this.  Please post/email me to confirm.  Let’s represent ourselves.

3)  Metropolis needs to send several volunteers to serve as judges and support our athletes at CrossFit Virtuosity.  Ideally we send 5+ volunteers/cheerleaders.  Please post/email me if you can do this.  Let’s support our athletes.

4)  ”insert inspirational quote here”

Folks – Games Season officially begins today.  The first of 5 Open workouts will be announced this evening.  We had great success last year having all members of the gym experience the Open workouts and get dosed with some good old fashioned competition; so we’ll be doing much the same this Season.

The current plan(as always subject to change):
a) Each Saturday the gym WOD will be the Open WOD.  Everybody gets to participate.  Sign up HERE at the CrossFit Games site and be a part of the worldwide leaderboard.  When you sign up be sure to register yourself under Team Metropolis!  We have a decent chance of sending a team to Regionals with our top guys and gals.  Scores will be validated by your Coaches here at Metropolis.  If you cannot make the Saturday WOD and wish to participate, Sunday Open Gym is the next best time.  After that, we’ll work with you to keep you involved.

b) Ok, thats easy.  Now the plot thickens.  Brooke and EJ are putting together an in-house Metropolis Leaderboard which will take into account scaling/non-RX’d scoring.  So if you want to participate in the Games and have your results tracked, but RX’d is not in your wheelhouse (yet); put your details into HERE, and B and EJ will be tracking your non-rx’d scores for you and creating an in-house leaderboard so that you can all talk trash to each-other.

c)  More plot thickening.  In addition to our weekly opportunity to participate in the Open WOD on Saturday here at Metropolis (RX’d or otherwise), Metropolis and several other area affiliates (Virtuosity, South Brooklyn, LIC, Queens), will be hosting on a rotating Saturday schedule an RX’d, strict judging Event, during which the best of the best from each gym will throw down against each-other for spots at the Regional.  Look for more details on this coming soon.  Many of you should have received an invite for these Events all ready.  Sign-up.

So, in review.  1)  Go to the CrossFit Games site and sign yourself up and put yourself on Team Metropolis.  2)  Get ready to throw-down for the next 5 Saturdays.  As RX’d folks are encouraged (but not required) to throw-down via the rotational events we are jointly hosting with the area affiliates.  You will probably be forced to raise your game if you are competing against the best athletes around.  Anyone not RX’d, sign up with EJ and Brooke for an in-house smack down.

Any questions?  Ask somebody.  EJ, did I miss anything here??

Happy and healthy New Years to you and yours.  We will all do big things in 2012!  Set some goals/priorities, personal and professional.  Write them down.  Make them happen.  Be a better you.

Sunday 1st: Closed
Monday:  AM Closed, PM Normal

As of Monday PM we’ll be all back to normal.  All WODs are now in our new spot at 156 East 100th.
