3 Days….

By Iain Barbour|2012-02-19T07:45:57+00:00February 19th, 2012|Information, WOD|

The CrossFit Games Open begins on Wednesday with the first workout being released at 5pm Pacific Time. If you haven't done so already, register and take part, it's $10. You all do CrossFit and this is it's only competition where we are all invited to take part, it's the biggest WOD you will ever do! Format for us is going to run like this, due to the time difference the WOD will come out around midnight or later, so it will be the WOD for Thursday. If you are planning on competing, please take Wednesday off or even better, attend Jonny's mobility class on Wednesday night. The latest the scores can be posted are Sunday so we will host a competition day on Saturday or Sunday for a chance to better your score. Every WOD must be judged and you must enter your score so Gavin and I can validate it. So it's important you make it in on the Thursday or Sat/Sun when there are more coaches present to judge you. If you can not make either of those days or want judged on another day then it will be £5 and must be arranged prior to the time. CrossFit Fife are visiting on the 25th so we should have a good competitive atmosphere and the following weekend I hope we will visit their gym. If you have any questions please ask a member of staff.
