Last year Team CFLA had an incredible year. We made it to Regionals by the slightest of margins (last place in the Open)... and then took Regionals by storm, finishing in 3rd place and earning a spot to the 2011 CrossFit Games. None of that would have been possible without the amazing support of our community... including participation in the Open WODS. Well, IT'S THAT TIME!

TODAY (and Saturday at 3pm) is YOUR CHANCE to join us. There are almost 60,000 people world-wide registered for the 2012 Open. 60,000! Guess how many have a shot at going to Regionals... about 3%. So this is NOT about entering to win. It's about putting yourself on the playing field, at risk, for 5 weeks. Seeing how you stack up on a world-wide playing field. It's the BEST $20 you can spend this week.

But to participate, you have to do it now. They won't take entries after this week. So go to http://games.crossfit.com/, click the red "register" button on the right. Sign up, then join Team CrossFit LA. If you're coming to the gym today, you're going to do the WOD anyway... might as well make it count!
