OPEN GYM 9A TO NOON
(and 8:30a ROMWOD!)
Huge congrats to everyone who’s conquered 17.5! If you have done it already, please submit your score to games.crossfit.com. We will then have to “validate” your times, so PLEASE LEAVE THE TOP PORTION OF YOUR SCORESHEET by the Wodify station. Remember, you take the bottom strip (below the dotted line) and the top stays with us!
If you are working on barbell skills at Open Gym, be warned that Monday’s workout will include Snatches/Overhead (so maybe rethink things if that was on your to-do list!). Oh, and if you didn’t notice, some new assault bikes arrived. Just sayin’…
Perfectly ridiculous…
Open 2017 is a wrap!
We’ll have so much to reflect on now that the Open is ending but we couldn’t be more proud of each and every athlete that participated. For so many, it was stretching far outside your comfort zone, whether it was the whole “competition” or choosing to do RX vs Scaled week over week.
400m Run
21 Kettlebell Swings, 53# / 35#
12 Pull-ups
17.5 and Intramural Team Updates!
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS OF THE OPEN!
INTRAMURAL TEAM WINNERS!
This is getting ridiculous people, but the hands-down 17.4 winners this week are…
“Covies Never Say Die”
Mighty Murphin Power Lifters – 26 pts total
Covies Never Say Die – 56 pts total
Rusty Thrusters – 19 pts total
#RespectYourElders – 30 pts total
Here’s is the breakdown for each category measured:
PARTICIPATION POINTS: 25 TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS PER TEAM
Mighty Murphin’ Power Lifters: 20 pts
Covies Never Say Die: 20 pts
Rusty Thrusters: 21 pts
#RespectYourElders: 19 pts
5 POINTS BEST TEAM SELFIE: Covies Never Say Die
Two great submissions from “Covies Never Say Die” this week. One, for it’s artistic composition, the other for the ridiculous factor. AND the fact that Angie wore that thing DURING her workout. THAT’S commitment.
5 POINTS BEST THEMED BEVERAGE: # RespectYourElders
Equipped with a variety of jello shots and a full jello fruit mold, the old people got everyone ready for life in the home. JELLO FOR EVERYONE!
5 POINTS BEST THEMED FOOD ITEM: Covies Never Say Die
Yum.
5 POINTS BEST SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE: Covies Never Say Die
This is getting exhausting. BUT, it was nice to see that Chelsea had some help from her teammates. Memes all around for that team!
5 POINTS BEST SPIRIT OF THE OPEN: #Respect Your Elders
Yes, the Open is about working hard, but it’s also about the fun factor. This guy comes in at 5:30am, does the workout, drinks a beer, comes back for Friday night lights and leads an EMOM at midnight. A CAKE EATING EMOM. Yes, every minute on the minute you eat a piece of cake (last week he led us in brownies). Mike’s not even officially registered for the Open but did every WOD and clearly is an MVP of Friday Night Lights. Oh, and he’s old, so #RespectYourElders drafted him.
5 POINTS MOST INSPRING PERFORMANCE BY AN INDIVIDUAL:
Covies Never Say Die
Robyn Z. destroyed this workout! She went scaled on Friday night and was the only person to get through all 55 reps of every movement AND get back to the deadlifts. AMAZING! Then, after talking to her coaches, gave the RX version a try on Sunday and crushed that too! She was one of the few women who made it off the rower to get to the wall for handstand push ups! So inspiring!
