Remember this little gem of a workout?  How could you forget?  Or maybe you made every effort to forget.  So simple, yet so CrossFit!

This was the first workout of the 2012 CrossFit Open.  Next year’s Open is just three months away.  Over the coming weeks you’ll start to see Open workouts from 2011 and 2012 at the shop.  So, hop online to the CrossFit Games site to compare you scores and see if you improved today.

One of the staples of our CrossFit program is to test our fitness.  This helps us determine whether this black box style of fitness is working as well as helps to identify areas we need to improve.  We do this through the benchmark Girls and Heroes and, more recently now, the CrossFit Open workouts from past years.  After doing these workouts at the shop we flag them for a one, three, six, or one year retest to make sure we don’t lose site of it all.  Keep logging your workouts so you have this information.

What is The Open, you ask?  It’s CrossFit’s annual worldwide online community event and competition.  Be sure to learn more about this annual funfest as the date approaches.  You won’t want to miss the international action as well as the crazy fun nights at Roots.  Read all about it here.
