An Event: The CrossFit Open



The CrossFit Games have been held every summer since 2007. The Games are styled as a venue for determining the "Fittest on Earth," where competitors should be "ready for anything."

Well, this year I was peer pressured into registering for the CrossFit Open.  During the CrossFit Open, a new workout is released each week. Athletes have several days to complete the workout and submit their scores online.The top CrossFit Open performers in each region advance to the regional events, held over the following two months.The top athletes (up to 3 of each gender) from each region are eligible to compete in the CrossFit Games.


The first workout was released today… and here it is. 


AMRAP = As Many Reps As Possible 


GULP.

Obviously I will not be joining the amazing athletes that will make it to the CrossFit Games… but CrossFit is unique in that it welcomes everyone. Anyone can participate! 

You can even follow the leaderboard and see where people are ranking, check it out here: The Leaderboard 

I be will attempting this brutal workout on Friday. Ugh…. I hate burpees.
