Competition Season Kickoff
Here we go, Athletes! Our competition season is officially about to kickoff with the start of the CrossFit Open this coming week. Regardless of where you are and what your goals for this first stage look like, we’re excited to see you express your fitness after months of hard work in the gym. You’re fit, you’re trained and you’re ready - now its time to show the world.
What to Expect
The Open lasts 3 weeks, starting with initial release of 25.1 this Thursday Feb.27 thru the Monday deadlines for 25.3 on Mar.17.
Here’s what to expect:
We’ll perform each Open test twice
First go - Friday
Last one - Monday
Every Thursday night, we’ll update your app with a brief on the test that contains everything you need to be successful for your Friday effort including, strategy, warm-up, primer, and cooldown.
Expect some light programming over the weekend we advise doing by feel with the expectation that we want you recovered and hungry to tackle Monday’s retest and avoiding overtraining on Sat/Sun.
By Sunday night, we’ll populate the week ahead, including any updated tips/tricks for your Monday retest to set you up for maximum success.
During the week, expect programming that gives athletes choice, all focused around keeping the axe sharp. Remember, the work is done and you’re as fit as you’re going to get for the Open tests. While we test, the best we can do is keep your strength maintained, your skills sharp, and your ability to perform at high intensity given a brief reminder here and there.
