I wasn't too far from you during that final team event. A former coach and buddy of mine was on that ASAP team that got fifth and is heading to the Games.

Nice

! Our owner and coach was an individual competitor (Dusty Sulon). Was 2 spots out of 5th! Proud of him to say the least. Dude has been to regionals 7 years straight, and it was his best finish and almost went to the games! (After Julian Alacaraz opted out). It was great to see him in the Final heat though with the big dogs for the last event.

ASAP was killing it! Congrats to your buddy. You planning on heading to Madison to watch?

California Regionals was awesome, I've gone to spectate every regional since 2014 when NorCal was its own region and I think the crowd energy at this one was the best. Icing on the cake was seeing my good friend Chyna take first in the women's individuals!

Anyone going to be at the Portland regional this weekend?
I was at Nashville last week working. I work for the company that does all the chip timing and scoring for the Games.

Why are the crossfit finals in Wisco? Seems odd to have the games in one of americas most obese states

I think the biggest plus is that everything they need is relatively close to each other. The main venue, a water body, running/hiking trails. Everything is a walk away, which makes it easier for not just the athletes but the spectators as well.

nice man
where you there for all 3 days?
The games is a no go for me this year too. Tough for me to justify paying for the flight from cali to Wisconsin when I can go to more desirable places for the same price

Yea I believe this was the big selling point. Still could of chose many places.
I did peep tickets, just incase our friend made it, and it was crazy. I definitely would of tried to go though. Still haven't been to the games all these years.

I have a 1 and 3 year old, and leaving them with my wife for almost a week would be brutal haha
Definitely would like to go to the Games though eventually. Maybe they will bring it back to the West Coast for 2020. Or when Nike beats out Reebok and takes over in 2021 haha

Definitely man. I wish they would switch with Norcal and Socal for regionals. Its getting expensive to go to SD during memorial day weekend.

Another big reason was Stubhub center was placing a bunch of restrictions on CF and what could and could not be sold at the venue. Which is why over the past few years vendor village got smaller and smaller.

Yeah the men's division was nuts. Lucero dropping out with an injury after leading the pack for two days and with Alcaraz declining invite to the games.
The womens final was awesome too

Did not know that. That is unfortunate. I felt like the Vendors at Regionals have gotten dry too.
Would be dope to have it somewhere in the PNW too. I love going up to Oregon.

Anyone have any sizing tips on romaleos? I'm looking to get my first pair. I wear a size 8 in all 3 generations of metcons and the flyknit pair as well. Any input is appreciated!

Several things hereWhy are the crossfit finals in Wisco? Seems odd to have the games in one of americas most obese states
awareness
obese states are good as the broader (midwest) audience will help grow the "sport"
money
its way cheaper to transfer product/items from SC and OH to WI than it is to CA
money
majority of things are cheaper in WI than in CA
money
im sure there were some sort of tax breaks associated with this as well
overall i would say to grow the sport from an awareness standpoint and to make more money.

For the regionals, it's not too bad. One day setup tops. But the Games...that's a whole other story haha.
