I read a nice piece from the owner of Diablo CrossFit on using the Open to actually learn.  Because you didn’t get a Muscle Up or a Chest to Bar Pullup or you couldn’t Clean 185/115 when exhausted doesn’t mean you never will.  It just means that you now know what you can’t do, dosage and have the opportunity to choose.  Do you make a plan and address it?  Or do you work on it for a week or 2 and forget about the plan.  I implore you – look at what you did well and where you struggle.

I didn’t post our top scorers from 16.2, web so it’s pretty cool to tree the CrossFit Games leader board for CFO.  We are sitting in the top 100 for NorCal teams. One thing to keep in mind is how mind blowingly competitive the Open has become.  The scores across the board have not only been mindbogglingly, but they are deep.  A ton of folks got 10 plus rounds on 16.1, another ton got 4 rounds or more on 16.2 and 16.3 was an EMOM plus for many.   Coach Sarah is currently crushing the Open!  She made it in tot he third round of Cleans on 16.2 and fought for every Bar Muscle up like a warrior on 16.3.  Coach Christine made her first appearance on the CFO leader board with 16.3.  But look out for Alexis!  She took 3rd in the gym in 16.2 and 16.3. Coaches Chris...Read more
