The Open – Logistics and stuff
Today is the first Open WOD of 2016 and irrespective of what it is, everyone will be able to participate in some way. Here’s roughly how it will run:
You come in at the normal WOD times and a warm up and brief will be given as normal. Depending on numbers and the nature of the workout you may be allocated to a heat.
Half of the people participating will be carrying out the workout; the other half will be judging (counting reps and checking standards). Once you have finished judging your buddy, return your clipboard etc to the board area and then go get set up for your heat. If you have just finished a heat, be prepared to return the favour of judging your buddy.
You may complete the WOD outside of the normal times but please be aware that there might be nobody available to judge you at that time – bring a buddy. Better yet, make it in for one of the scheduled classes and soak up the atmosphere.
There will be scheduled sessions on the weekend from 0800-10.30 on Saturday (last heats at 10.10) and Sunday from 10.00-13.00 (last heats at 12.40). Sessions will also run on Monday during the WOD sessions and an alternative WOD will be posted for those who have already completed the Open workout.
You are welcome to bring cakes, sweets, balloons, fancy dress, a strong sense of irony, sparkling wines etc. Be on time, be patient and give it your best shot.
Turn up, throw down, have fun: don’t be a d**k.
