Good morning CFTP!
The Open begins in a week and a half!
Here is an overview of how The Open will run. Some of this is new, some of this is the same, and we are excited to get it started!
Like previous years, we will be having an in-house competition. We have divided you into teams, which are the following:
Red Team: 5:30 am
Blue Team 6:30 am, 7:30 am, 8:30 am
Yellow Team: 9:30 am and Noon
Green Team: All Night Classes
You will be competing as a team and will have the chance to earn your spot as the Fittest Team in the gym, and add your name to the board that is hanging on our wall. Along with that competition, we will be doing a weekly raffle for those who are participating. The chart below is a way for you to earn tickets.
Each week the card is wiped clean, and you can earn tickets for the next week. You will keep track of what you earn, and at FNL you will have that many tickets thrown into the raffle. You must be present to win. FNL’s this year are on February 28th, March 7th, 14th and 21st. Doors will open for this at 6 pm, and we will be beginning the workouts at 6:30. When you come you will sign up for a heat to do the workout in, and hopefully you stick around to judge and cheer on the athletes who are still going. If you’ve never been to an Open workout, you need to. It’s an environment you can’t recreate. Pr’s and memories you’ll never forget. Notice there are 4 FNL’s, but only 3 Open Workouts. The final week will be our in house competition final. It’s a special night for our gym. Places are awarded, but so are other awards like “Spirit of the Games” and “Rookie of the Year”. Adding this year “Comeback Season” award. It’s fun, we have food, we take our gym family photo, please put it on your calendars we would love to see you all there.
If you haven’t signed up you still can! Sign up with games.crossfit.com or with CrossFit The Point.
# 2: T-Shirts.
Completely optional this year. We will be able to print these on the team color if you desire as well or really any color of shirt you choose. Some of us love them, some of us say we have enough (is that possible?!), so they are being sold separately for $25. We have extended these orders until the start of the Open! Here is the link to order your T-shirt!
*CrossFit is doing something new this year: The Community Cup. It is taking place after the Open, and you will be competing against athletes that placed similar to you in the open. If you are interested in this, you need to sign up online through games.crossfit.com.
Level Method Testing
I have placed the Level Method workouts for the week in Saturday on the Chalk it app. This week we have the Squat Endurance Assessment and the Running Assessment! You can do these at any time through the week!
Final Thoughts
I really hope you all are getting excited for the open. If you haven't signed up on the games site or through the gym, do it now. I know you won't regret it. It's an amazing experience no matter what level athlete you are. We have lots planned and it's going to be a blast. Let's see if we can beat last year's participation where we have 18 on each team! Let's get that to 20!
If you have any questions, let me know!
