Who’s GETTING PUMPED for the NorCal SECTIONAL?

The 2010 CrossFit Games season is upon us. Because of the extraordinary success of the 09 Games, we have added another layer of qualifier. Last year, the Regionals were the starting point for potential competitors. This year, there will be 13 Regionals around the world that all take place in May. But unlike last year, you now have to qualify for the Regionals (with a few exceptions in continents with sparse populations of CrossFitters). Feeding these Regionals will be approximately 30 Sectional competitions, which will be open to anyone. The Sectionals will take place from mid-February to late March...FULL DETAILS

PALEO RECIPE
"Paleo Cookies"-Paleo Foods
These cookies keep almost forever in a sealed container. Over time, they become softer and chewier.
2 cups raw honey
2 cups ground walnuts
4 cups almond
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup dried fruit chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper. Warm honey in a saucepan. Let mixture cool slightly. Sift together flour and spices. Place honey in mixing bowl; gradually add flour mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in dried chopped fruit. Roll dough about 1/4-inch thick on a floured board; cut into squares and rectangles with a pastry wheel or sharp knife. (If you prefer, you can also make drop cookies, dropping the dough by teaspoonful.) Bake ten minutes. Enjoy!
