Open starts in a couple of weeks.

2016 CrossFit Games Open starts at the end of the month. It is a 5 week world wide online fitness competition. I predict about half a million people participate this year. It's a great way to compete and work hard. Top athletes and teams move on to Super Regionals which is the last qualifying step in the process of making it to the CrossFit Games. Pretty fun process, I've done it since 2010. Here's the week's worth of training despite being in a Firefighter class for 20 hours and studying for my National EMT test which is coming up next week. Life is busy! I miss elk hunting. Monday 2.1.16 1. Snatch A. 3×1 Squat Snatch at 85% | #185 no missed B. 3×1 Snatch Pull at 115% | #245 C. 3×1 Snatch Grip Jerk + Pause OHS | #255 2.
