Here is the latest from Aromas California, site of the 2009 NorCal Qualifier for the CrossFit Games, 2009.

Going into day two, CFEB athlete Apollonia Helm is in a three-way tie for third place. First place is tied, and there is no second place awarded. Local prodigy Candace Hamiliton of CrossFit Oakland is tied for first.

Apollonia scored 82 points in workout "A" (clean/muscle-up) with a five muscle-ups including a crowd-pleasing "extra" M-U during one of her rest breaks that really got the energy in the house up!

Apollonia crushed workout "B" in 5:02:32 with fantastic form (burpee pics tomorrow) and only one missed rep.

If she can hold on to her standing in the top five, she will qualify for the CrossFit Games 2009.

Great work by Apolloinia and thanks to Gita for his efforts in prepping her for the event.
