If you are a crossfitter, the mention of these words probably makes you feel a combination of excited, nervous and antsy. Tonight the first Open Workout will be announced to the world for a chance to compete, see how far you can push and show off what you can do.
If you aren't familiar with the Open, it is a five week competition where 1 workout is announced each week for people to do and submit there score. The workout must be performed an a crossfit affiliate (ie Crossfit New Albany) or video taped and submitted. These workouts are judged for range of motion and total reps completed and an official score is given to each athlete. This is the first step toward making it to the Crossfit Games in California in July for the title of "Fittest Man or Woman on Earth". From the Open, the top 60 males and Females and top 30 teams will advance to the Regional Competition in May. Last year Regionals were right here in Columbus at the Celeste Center.
Competing in the Open is a chance for everyone to compete. It is the equivalent of playing in a game with Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, or Tom Brady. Everyone does the same workout and scores are compared. Rich Froning will do the same workout as you and I.
We will be doing this workout as our Workout of the Day on Fridays for the next 5 weeks. Feel free to come check out a workout as our guest to any of the available class times listed on our website (crossfitnewalbany.com). Friday before our Kid Fit class would be a great opportunity. We have a class right before at 4:30 or you can stay for Kid Fit and watch the 5:30 group get after it.
