Article: Great article on why everyone should do the CrossFit Open!






Great article JJ. I hope EVERYONE joins the open. The vast majority of us won’t ‘win’ anything but the experience we gain from competing. It’s a whole new ballgame when you are being judged and the energy around you has been cranked up 10X. If you enjoy doing Crossfit then you will LOVE the open! And I can’t think of a better place to put yourself ‘out there’ than DCF. You are amongst friends
Why must we be judged on something we’ve never done before?
