IT'S THAT TIME!
“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents.” Horace
A unique and defining characteristic of CrossFit is that it makes fitness “measurable and repeatable”. And, the ultimate manifestation of measurable & repeatable fitness is the CrossFit Open and – for the very best athletes – the CrossFit Games!
The Open is also part of Diablo CrossFit’s legacy. A large number of our members participate every year! It is scary – for everyone, our newest members and our most experienced. Yet, more than 400,000 CrossFit enthusiasts around the world participated in the Open in 2018!
Each week for 5 weeks (Feb 21 – Mar 25), an Open workout is announced on Thursday, and has to be completed by the following Monday. The Open gives all CrossFitters (Open, Teens, Scaled & Masters) a chance to test ourselves together against each other – and especially, against our past selves.
INTRODUCING "MILLENNIALS vs MASTERS"
After the success & fun of our Diablo Intramural Open last year, we’ve decided to continue the tradition – with a twist. We’re splitting the gym in 2: Millennials and Masters. We’ll compete as teams each week with scoring opportunities based upon participation, passion & performance!
The Age Groups – As of Feb 21, 2019
Millennials: Age 16 – 34
Masters: Age 35+
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Friday night is fun night! We’ll be getting together every Friday evening to do the Open workouts together. Heats will kick off at 5:00 PM and we’ll plan to be done by 7:30-ish.
We’ll fill the coolers and pull out the chairs. So, grab your class buddies, invite your family and come throwdown and watch the fun!
19.1: Feb 22
19.2: Mar 1
19.3: Mar 8
19.4: Mar 15
19.5: Mar 22
