2014 CrossFit Open

"Motivation will ALWAYS beat mere talent" -Norman Augustine

2014 CrossFit Open is HERE!

What is the CrossFit Open?  It is when the CrossFit community worldwide does 1 WOD per week for 5 weeks, logs their results on line so they can see how they compare to their peers world wide and within their designated region.  Bottom line...its a world wide CrossFit competition and 100% of CrossFit athletes are encouraged to attend.  No matter if you are new to the sport or a 5 year veteran....you should be competing.  http://games.crossfit.com/about-the-games/the-open


We will start doing the Open WODs from last year (2013) soon, so we can be ready for the 2014 season.  Regardless if you sign up or not, we will be doing the Open WODs here at the box, so why not participate and have fun. 


How do you participate?  If you participated last year, you can simply use that login.  If you are new to CrossFit as most of you are, then you need to create an account.  New registration begins January 15th.  Here is the link  https://games.crossfit.com/cf/login?returnTo=2Fcompetition&flow=games .   In the past, the registration had a $20 fee.  No big deal right? 


As I mentioned above, all the WOD's will be don't at the box and judges by your coaches.  If you wish to be a judge, you will need to take the "Judges Course" on line and bring the completion certificate to me (D. Mac).  https://oc.crossfit.com/
