The Open will consist of workouts posted February 22-March 25. We will all be doing the Open WODS in group classes, but if you would like to participate you can sign up here: http://games.crossfit.com/. Make sure you join Team CFG. If we have enough boys and girls sign up and kick ass we might even qualify a team for regionals which would be amazing. Don’t be intimidated they are just workouts like the ones we do here at CFG every day.
Hint… today is not a day to be “that guy”. That being said you guys will love/crush this wod. And sign up for this open thing
.
i’m curious… how exactly does one become ‘that guy’?
too much weight not enough go.
If i were to grab the 2 pood and do 30 swings the first 2 rounds, and then 15, 10, and 10.. then i would be that guy. Or to clarify, i was that guy! ha
ahhhhhhhh.
OMG — definitely want to get 30 KBS every time with 1000 m row penalty! Maybe I will make this up tomorrow…sounds fun!
Pappas is totally right, I went at 1.5 pd last time and still had penalties.
5,000m row FTW
1 pood KBS FTW
How do you join the team when you register for the open?
still trying to figure it out as well. i will let you know asap.
Conflicted. The ticking time bomb in my abs exploded…but deadlifts! And kettlebell swings! I think I’m masochistic enough to show up anyway.
You could not have described how my abs feel any better. Laughter, coughing, sneezing all hurt. On the workout; 1000 meter row is an EVIL penalty.
Pretty much everything this week has been a little evil. I think Nick is trying to make us cry. (deloading the deadlifts alone is sufficient for that…)
daaaaang. i’m bummed i’m missing this. DEFINITELY going to have to make it up sometime later in the week…
