This year it was my goal of completing the Open Rx and making one of the teams that goes to Regionals. I can proudly say that I accomplished both goals and will be representing CrossFit 7 Mile on the 7 Milers team in Guayaquil, Ecuador!
Below is a list of 13 things (of the many) that I learned during the Open:
- Know which workouts to test out and which to do only once (hint...wall balls)
- Tape up hands or wear gloves for WODS with lots of snatches
- Never underestimate the power of yourself
- Never underestimate the power of the community around you
- Wall balls suck.
- Don't judge your significant other...under any circumstances! Its just better that way!
- Try new things - no matter what, stop making excuses
- Step ups are faster than box jumps if you can't do the rebound jump (who knew???)
- Multiple Fran's could possibly be the worst thing ever...I only know from watching, not experience
- Telling yourself "I can do this...I am going to dominate this workout" can make all the difference in the world
- Don't try to change things last minute - go with what you know and what works...just because one person says it works in a Youtube video, doesn't mean it works for everyone
- Don't "over study" online videos - trust yourself and your abilities
- A beer tastes 10 times more refreshing after you finish the Open
