The Colorado Open Shout-Out
What a great weekend. One of the coolest things about the Open is the fact that you don’t have to be a fire-breather to compete. Yes, some of the best CrossFitters in the area compete. But for many of the athletes, the Open is the first time that they have experienced the rigors of CrossFit outside their home gym. And for most of them, it is both exhilarating and terrifying.
It is always fun to watch Jasmine, KO, Nate and Matt push the envelope of what is possible. But for me, some of the most intense moments take place in the earlier heats, when a newer athlete is trying to beat the cut-off time. It is in that moment, when the athlete is straining with every fiber of their being to finish the task at hand, that some of the most powerful moments of CrossFit occur. We had many of those moments happen this weekend.
None of these memorable moments could happen without the passion and energy that the volunteers pour into the event. Without their commitment, none of it is possible.
I would like to mention some of them now. If any of the competitors would like to call-out anyone in particular, this post is the one to do that.
Karen D did the signs, stickers, awards, hang-out space and data entry for the scoring system.
Ron W, from CrossFit HQ, allowed us to use his awesome scoring system and oversaw its use all weekend.
Molly (Brad and Skip’s Mom) helped with registration Friday night, did all of Sunday’s heat cards and ran the Heat Check-in booth with Melissa and Mick.
Karen K did all of the heat cards for Saturday.
Bradley led the set-up and tear-down crew and did untold jobs during the event, all while competing as an athlete.
The T-Shirt Booth Girls: Yorkie, Dre, Shaira and Lulu.
The Registration Team of: Gayle, Amanda, Melissa, Rachel, Stephanie, Dana, Julie and many more.
Big Jon wrote two awesome articles.
JT and Wenke shot over 2500 pictures.
Betsy ran around like crazy keeping the recovery tent stocked with ice and water.
Scott and Jake kept the warm-up room under control.
Roeper ran Operations.
Mark B led the parking crew.
Ryan S led the pit crew team of: Burns, Larry, Tom T, Davis and Tim J. This group did an awesome job all weekend making sure each athlete had the correct equipment for each workout.
Cori led an unbelievable Judging Team of: Cho, Roberto, John M, Dan, Patrick, Scuba, Tao, Kevin O, Stacy, Lynn Z, Nate W, Powell, Chris, Amanda, Whitney and Roeper.
And everyone who stayed after the event was over and helped put the gym back together. That was much appreciated.
Jodi and I would like to thank everyone that volunteered. Every one of you did an amazing job this weekend. It was an incredible team effort. By how many appreciative emails we have received, the entire Colorado CrossFit Community agrees.
We will see you all next year.
Thanks to all who contributed behind the scenes to a phenomenal weekend. You are truly the ones who made it possible for the athletes (and I use that term lightly in my case) to compete. FRCF is first-class and the core of an amazing community in Colorado.
Wu - you are the man. I will never scale another WOD again.

Special thank you to Betsy Auth who not only did water, but also did trash pick up and kept bathrooms tidy on Sunday! You were amazing this weekend!
Posted by: Gayle | August 31, 2010 at 08:43 AM
Great job everyone!
2500 pics.... wow
Will any be posted?

Thanks to everyone who cheered me on when I wasn't sure if I could finish. Your encouragement helped me keep moving through the pain!

Thank you for all the support this past weekend! I had a ton of fun, and thank you for pushing me through all the workouts!

As one of those athletes who was just trying to beat the cut off times, I wanted to say I had such a great time participating in this event. The support from fellow FRCFs was amazing- From Roeper talking me through the tire flips, Jodi making sure I was warmed up, Bradley telling me I could do it, to all the judges wishing me good luck at the start of all my heats, to all the cheers during the event. And Mo for keeping me laughing and smiling. Oh, and Katie--you got me through those ball slams! ;)
I felt so lucky to be a part of our team. THANKS!

Couldn't agree more. Excellent weekend put together, and thanks to everyone who had a part in that. My first exposure to competition and some movements that I cannot do at the house (tire flips, rowing, etc), and had a great time. Will definately be back next year. Always nice to see the top folks push the limits of possible. BTW, awesome programming!!

Thanks to all the FRCF crew for making this happen. I would like to put a specific shout out to all the judges. Mine were excellent and really helped to motivate me and seemed to do a good job with the difficult task of maintaining standards. Thank God I didn't drop the kettlebell.

I want to give a special shout-out to the judges...weighing in at 145 pounds I saw the 42 reps of 165 lb power cleans and was pretty concerned. My judge literally wouldn't let me quit or slow down. There was no way I would have done well on that workout without them..let alone finish in under 8 min. Great programming--it definitely helped to bring out my weaknesses so I can work on them over the next few months...I haven't really "competed" competitively since high school and it was great!

We are so lucky to have the support of so many. A huge thanks to all. I agree with Karen on Katie (and Lambo) - for some reason they were the ones that I could hear the most to pick up the slam ball. Dave and Dan for pressing me as a judge. Being a judge is stressful and wears you out so to all of them thank you so much. All judging was so even - great to see.
Looking forward to next year, I think.

It was awesome to be a part of Saturday. It's cool to see the looks on people's faces as they show up to FRCF and see the facility we're lucky enough to train at and the caliber of people who call it home.

15:10, which makes me all the more inspired by K Wuuuuu's performance on this WOD.

Hey FRCF gang,
I just wanted you to know that our athletes and spectators really had a great experience. We brought a couple of first time competitors and your fantastic event lit a fire for them. In fact, one of them was so excited she talked a coworker into attending her first skills session at our box yesterday.
I can't imagine how an event could be run any more professionally. Dan's right, your facility rocks, but it is the community of folks who make up FRCF that are so impressive.
Cheers,

Great job to all of the athletes this weekend! It takes courage to physically perform while your range of motion is dissected by a judge. Big props to my fellow judges for remaining vigilant throughout the weekend. The unsung hereos, the countless volunteers, made the it all run seamlessly.
A special thank you to Jodi, Skip and Bradley for all their hardwork. This event and the many like them would not be possible without their efforts.
The countless hours of planning, setting up, breaking down, judging, coaching, running the event, maintaining the premises, dividing the help, briefing the help, briefing all the judges .. etc .. etc ... does not accurately gauge how much heart and effort they put into an event. Thank you guys, you put on a great show.
