I have written several times about the difference between training, practice and competition. In our group classes and personal training sessions our program focuses on training and practice. However, there is a place and time for competition.
Everyone can benefit from competition. Some people think that competition develops character. I disagree, competition reveals character. We are fully into the CrossFit competition season with The 2024 CrossFit Open. As we have done since 2015, we are hosting a FUN and FRIENDLY Intramural In-Gym Open Competition. Everyone has been divided up into 2 teams, Team DC and Team Marvel, as we battle it out over 3 weeks to see which team has the strongest and fittest heroes and heroines. How did we do with the first week of the Intramural Open? Read below... Intramural Open Week 1
What a great start of the 2024 CrossFit Open! We had 40 people complete the first workout. WOW! What a fantastic turn out!
Team DC had a 17 point pre-season lead. They have 8 people officially registered for the Open (1 point each) and had 8 people complete the Judges Course (5 points each) for a total of 48 Pre-Season Points. Team Marvel has 6 people officially registered and only 5 people complete the Judges course for a total of 31 Pre-Season Points. Those pre-season points really add up! Here are your top finishers for each workout division. Rx Top 3 FinishersScaled and Masters 55+ Top 3 FinishersScaled Masters Top 3 FinishersFoundations FinishersSpirit of The Open - 5 Points
John E. and Missey are sharing the Spirit of the Open points for 24.1. Both of these fantastic masters athletes are recovering from surgeries and are using CrossFit as part of their recovery program.
John did an adaptive version of 24.1 (there are many adaptive versions) to accommodate shoulder surgery. Missey is recovering from major abdominal surgery and did the Foundations version of the workout. The 5 Spirit of the Open Points are split between them and they are both on Team DC. Week 1 Team Points
Both teams were nearly equally represented in the first week of the Open. Team DC has only a 1 point lead for the workout. However, their Pre-Season point lead puts them well ahead of Team Marvel. Will they maintain their lead this week? We shall see!
Remember to represent your team Friday in class! There are 5 Spirit of the Open Points available to whomever has the best spirit! Here is Dave Castro's hint for 24.2.
