Open Time!!

Its open time and everyone who is gonna compete is sitting on pins and needles waiting for tomorrow when the first open WOD is released at 5:00 pm.

Its an exciting time!

For those of you who don't do CrossFit, the open is a chance for you to compete against every other cross fitter around the world. You get to see where you stack up against the best athletes in the world.

Its exciting and humbling at the same time. For those of you who have watched The CrossFit Games on ESPN and never done a CrossFit workout... you have no clue.....

I remember Rich and I watching The Games before we ever did CrossFit and we were like "yea, that looks hard...." We had no clue just how intense the whole thing was until we did CrossFit ourselves. 

To be able to watch these amazing athletes on TV doing the same WOD's you have done yourself and they are crushing your time ....is unbelievable! You know how crushed you feel with the time you got and you cant imagine how they could of gone any faster and looked flawless doing it!

Iv been asked a few times in the last few weeks why I'm competing.... Well, most of you know how competitive I am. So that's the first reason. The second is and I just said this to Aggie last week, that last year I learned so much by being a part of the open. Every day we go to our box and do the daily WOD.  We put what we think is everything we've got.... But I have to say, when you are competing in the open and you know you are posting your score on the crossfit.com website, you seem to dig a little deeper and push past what you thought was your threshold. It made me a better competitor this whole last year.

For those of you on the fence about signing up, here are a few photos from last year!!

We had a blast!
