[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Friday 2/15/2019 – Task List WOD aka friday Fun Day. With heavy posterior focus.
CrossFit Open
You might have heard about this thing called “The CrossFit Games”. Guess what time it is?
It’s that time to show the world what you are made of once again, if you care. The 2019 CrossFit Open competition runs for five weeks, beginning Thursday February 21st through Monday March 25th.
The Open workouts will be announced on Thursday evenings for the five weeks. We will program each week’s Open Workout as our Member WOD on each Monday following the announcement. As in years past, we will meet on Saturday at noon for members to perform the workout together in a more competitive environment. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate.
You have a few options if you are interested in participating in the Open this year.
1) You can simply perform each week’s Open Workout on Mondays to share in the Open workout experience
2) You can attend the special Noon Workouts on Saturdays and perform the Open Workouts along with other members in a more competitive environment. Yes, we’ll crown a champion at the end.
3) You can register on the CrossFit Games website and have the ability to log your workout times/scores each week to see how you compare against hundreds of thousands of other
CrossFitters around the world.
Here’s how things will work during the five weeks of the Open:
– CrossFit HQ will announce the 19.x Open workout on Thursday evening
– Our Friday and Saturday morning Member WODs will operate as usual
– Members can participate in the Open 19.x WOD on Saturday at Noon, and must RSVP using our WODhopper system
– Saturday noon Open workouts will run in heats until everyone completes the workout
– There is no cost to join in, only if you choose to officially compete on the CrossFit Games website.
– The cost to register for the Open on the CrossFit Games site is $20, payable directly to CrossFit HQ, http://games.crossfit.com/open
– Members who are registered to compete in the Open will be guaranteed a judge to score their workouts during the Saturday Noon sessions
– Monday’s member WOD will be that week’s Open Workout so everyone can share the experience scaled to their level
– Remember, if you wish to participate in the Saturday Noon sessions, you must RSVP on our WODhopper to let us know you are coming
CrossFit affiliate gyms like us do not share in any of the proceeds from the $20 registration. Keep in mind, you do not need to register and pay CrossFit HQ to participate in our Saturday noon sessions.
We strongly encourage you to either attend the Saturday noon sessions or make sure you come to the gym on Mondays to get a dose of the Open Workouts. Each year, our participating members always seem to reach a new level of performance due to the highly competitive nature of the Open season. Give it a try, you won’t be sorry. Not feeling up to the challenge this year? You can still watch. Stop in at noon on a Saturday and cheer on your fellow teammates!
If this is all news to you and you have no idea what we are talking about, please ask us at the gym. It’s often easier to explain things in person than in a message like this one. Cheers!
