Coach Jeremy competing at the 2008 CrossFit Games in Aromas. Today is the first day of the 2020 Games final stage which will also happen back at “The Ranch” in Aromas.
Back in 2008, in order to qualify for the CrossFit games you just needed the guts to register and show up. Much different than today’s multiple stages of qualification. Below is a section from a 2014 interview with Coach Jeremy about his experience.
The games were different then—much smaller, no stadium. It was at Dave Castro’s family ranch in Aromas. There were no qualifiers of any kind. You just signed up and competed. I had thought about doing the first games in 2007 but the timing wasn’t right. So when the opportunity came around again, I didn’t really think about it, I just signed up. I was pretty much alone the whole weekend. I hung out with a few of the CrossFit NYC crew, but I didn’t know them real well. So mostly I just hit my workouts, ate some food, and napped in-between. It was three workouts on Saturday: deadlift and burpees, chest-to-bar “Fran,” and that fucking hill run. Sunday was a heavy squat clean “Grace.” I did alright. I think I placed 33rd out of almost 200. It was a fun experience, I’m glad I competed.
The final stage of the 2020 CrossFit Games start today. Due to COVID, this year’s season looked a lot different and this weekend’s events feature the top 5 men and women competing back in Aromas where it all started. The full schedule and how to watch can be found here.
