My friend who does the nutrion coaching for games athletes posted a good approach to it
treat the first 12-15 rounds as an emom to set a steady pace.

Damn. That is actually something I can do

Yeah if I was doing it again I'd shoot for 1:15 a round and throw down in the end if I could. I thought I was going to get crushed so I never paid attention to the clock and just never really got gassed until the last 3 in a row of unbroken and jogging to stations. Would have helped going this afternoon with more energy and a bit more competition.

Nick Urankar posted a video on IG discussing the same idea.
He said, to help someone pace, place your rope and DBs apart from the rig to allow yourself 5-10 secs between each movement to allow for a small recovery.

I am still battling my shoulder but I think this was one I could at least fight through.
Numbers are way down for this open:
Numbers down by a third

CrossFit HQ released the numbers, which show a dramatic decline in registrations, compared to the 2019 CrossFit Open. For the previous season, 358,646 people registered for the event.

Crossfit open is dying Aside from a minority of crossfit members no one cares
Hell if it weren’t for this board I would’ve never know. The Open started
The only value is the fact that we all are doing the same workout and can discuss

We have had a group competition every year but this year one of the guys that has always been a group captain said one a year is enough. He planned on going deer hunting. I have only seen a handful of people doing the open workout while being judged by a coach.

I think it's a matter of crossfit fatigue with all of the sanctioned events & the fact that this is the 2nd Open this year. I think they should've just done the next Open next October.
That and the $20 fee. It all adds up to most people feeling like "I just want to work out"

I tweaked my calf working on DUs today.
I tore my left calf (6 years ago) and had left ankle surgery 4 years ago and it’s been sore these last 6-8 weeks from flag football and CrossFit.
I worked up to a set of 18 and was trying for more when I felt a twinge right where I tore the calf. shite has been knotted up since.

I came out way to hot and didn’t use the EMOM strategy
My first six were done in 5:30 I was flying

We had a guy go 18+5 Rx this afternoon.
He was 6 rounds in 6 minutes and then settled in to a 1:10 pace.

That plus people had aspirations of going to regionals and compete against the elite. Now that can’t happen.
Posted on 10/18/19 at 11:30 pm to tigerfoot
I agree. I’m not feeling it this year. I didn’t do 20.1 and got 4 dubs shy of 17 this year. That was a boring fricking workout.

Which makes Castro’s hint perfect.

Knee is so bad right now I didn’t sign up. Dubs are especially painful.
Doing it as an emom is a good strategy but 20 mins is a long time. We had a couple of guys who got 23+ and a couple at 22+ rounds. Unbroken reps. Crazy.

I won’t sniff being able to do it as an emom.

sick for the last 2 weeks

With my left calf all fricked up (I either tore it again or tore some scar tissue) I just did 3Rx in 20.2 with a bunch of single DUs.
I probably could have pushed 7 rounds doing it this way, but there was no reason for me to do any more.
