CrossFit is a sport. It is the sport of fitness. Some of you got a taste of this at Barbells & Handlebars last month. Every year CrossFit headquarters puts on the CrossFit Games in order to determine who the fittest male and female in the world are. We are now entering the season leading up to the Games which will go down mid to late summer. In order for Games athletes to make it to the actual Games, they must qualify in the Open and then get through Regionals.
The Open is a series of 5 different workouts starting March 6th. Anyone can register for the Open. There will be one workout announced each week and competitors will have four days to score the highest they can on each workout. Your scores will be tallied at the end of the five weeks and compared to others in our region. The top 48 males and females in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana will move on to regionals.
I am encouraging those who are advanced enough to sign up and compete along with me. Last year we had four from our gym, including myself, compete in the open. This year I would like to at least double that number. If you are on the fence about joining in, just do it. It will be a fun experience for everyone and you are encouraged to only do what you can do. Still don’t think this is for you? We plan to make an event out of it for our competitors and need the support of the EDCF community.
