A couple of CrossFit Affiliates in the region have organized two separate events. As a disclaimer, neither is sponsored by CrossFit HQ. If you have any interest in either one, email Bill and he will forward you additional information. Here is an email for the first event:

Dear Fellow Crossfitter;

On January 9th, 2010 at the Kentucky International Convention Center (Louisville, Ky), individuals from all over the region will converge to test their fitness against others in a competitive fitness venue, “The Kentucky Fitness Challenge.”

Contestants will participate in several fitness challenges to determine who is the
fittest in each age/gender group. The top over all male and female will be crowned “Kentucky’s Fittest Man and Woman.”

We are asking for the Crossfit community to come and participate in this first time event. This will give your staff and clients a chance to meet and compete with other members of the community, in a positive event while supporting health and fitness.

Crossfit practitioners receive a “special registration” price of $25 (regularly $45). This offer expires December 31st, 2009. Could you please inform your staff and clients of this event? We would appreciate your support.
We look forward to meeting you at this years event. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Kelly Cable

The following is an email from CrossFit MadTown. They are hosting a competition for CrossFitters this February. It is the same weekend as the 2010 Affiliate Gathering in Miami and also around the time of sectionals, so CrossFit Fire will not be attempting to organize a trip to Wisconsin for this competition. However, I wanted to pass this along anyways just in case any of you are interested. Here it is:

CrossFit MadTown of Middleton, WI is hosting a CrossFit Decathlon to find the fittest and best athlete of the Upper-Mid West. We have a one of a kind CrossFit facility to host this competition and if you are curious to see the facility check it out at www.hitterssports.com . This will be a 10 event 2 day completion with scoring by place in each event making each event equal in scoring. The event is set for February 20 and 21st, 2010 running all day each day. Attached are the event list and also the flyer. Because of logistics for this first year of competition we have to limit the competition to the first 50 who sign up. So sign up quickly to ensure your chance to show your best. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Keysha or Skipp at the following:
