Didn’t sign up this year because of a shoulder injury, and not disappointed. What kind of lazy programming is it when you only have 3 Wods and the first one is a repeat?

I like it. I mean most people haven’t been doing the open since 2014 but for those who have, it’s a nice benchmark for how much you’ve improved since 2014. It’s also a pretty cool workout. It’s got strength, endurance and gymnastics. What’s not to like?

It’s a good chipper, can def see how you stack up with people that may have better skill or engines

Idiot staff loaded the barbell incorrectly for girls yesterday. The weight should have been 43kg and they loaded 38kg. I mean, even in Europe, they frick up using the metric system.

All 3 female athletes have to redo the workout.

Has there ever been a hot CrossFit chick? Did the chicks look like shrek before CrossFit or was it the CrossFit that turned them into ogres?

If it’s CrossFit making them look like Roseanne Barr the founders should be in prison imo

Repeats make sure you work on skills presented in past opens. It’s not lazy. Crossfit is all about measured progress over time. The open is no different

ETA rings also weed out all the “this is dumb” people and all the people that actual worked on them are rewarded.

I didn't sign up for the open but did the workout today in open gym.

Finished the cleans at 13:39 and laughed at the rings as if they were a possibility for me.

Was purposefully slow on the row as I had seen too many people get off in the 2:20 range and then just die. Wall balls were what slowed me down. Kept it at 5 rounds of 8 but that let me get right on the cleans and work through them with singles.
