Regionals May 24-26

The regionals season opened up this past weekend in the North East, South East, Europe, and SoCal regions. Athletes from CrossFIt Austin will be competing in the South Central Regional this weekend Friday May 24th through Sunday May 26th. The competition will be held in San Antonio at the Freeman Coliseum and we have individuals and a team competing for a chance to go to the CrossFit Games in July.  Below is the official guide for folks that want to support CFA this weekend.

Who’s Competing?
Women’s Individual Competitors

Judy McElroy

Team CrossFit Austin 1
Males: Miguel Garza, Alex Tanton, Aaron Duran
Females: Leigh Legare, Stacey Magnesio, Alex Janns
Alternates: Gilbert Perales, and Dayna Lowke

Schedule of Events
The full schedule of the weekend’s events can be seen HERE these times are of course subject to change.

Friday May 24th 
Event 1 “Jackie”
Team CFA @ 9:20 AM
Judy @ 11 AM

Event 2 & 3 “OHS & Burpee Muscle-up”
Team CFA @ 1:25 PM
Judy @ 3:30 PM

Saturday’s events start @ 8:30 AM and 3 PM exact start times are dependent upon where our athlete’s place. So we will update this page as well as Facebook and Twitter with the specific times as we find them out.

Travel and Parking

Just like last year regionals will be held just down the road in San Antonio. We have a Facebook group created to help coordinate carpooling on Friday, and Saturday  please comment below if you have not been added to the group and you are planning to come watch.

Parking is $5/day. There is no in and out, and its limited.

This year roughly twice as many spectator tickets have been sold so please account for the fact that there will be a lot of people trying to get in and park at the same time and this may create some significant delays.

What if I can’t make it?

Today’s article really resonates with me. I’ve had the same experience coaching and participating in sports, training, and fitness my entire life.  Ultimately whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete just showing up is half the battle. Add focus, a great training environment,  and  the humility to be coachable and you’ve got your magic pill. – Coach Wes

Eating veggies is something I struggle with. I’m a meat and potatoes guy and am notorious for skimping on the greens. Today’s article is a concise graph of how to best prepare veggies by different means. Print it off and put it in your kitchen so we (myself included) have one less excuse when it comes to eating our veggies! – Coach Wes
