2018 CrossFit Open Summary

Well, my first CrossFit Open was definitely a lot of fun and hard work! It is fun to be one of thousands waiting anxiously to find out what kind of crazy workout CrossFit Games Director Dave Castro will throw at us. He has such a great imagination when it comes to pain and physical work!

And then discussing it with family, friends, and gym mates both as it is announced and then after doing the workout is great.  For 5 weeks out of the year all of us are doing the same workout at least once a week! So much fun in that painful sort of way!

I was able to complete 4 of the workouts with my normal 5:30am Crew and that was a lot of fun – pushing each other and celebrating each other’s successes and new achievements. The 5th workout I was able to get done during Friday Night Lights at Solcana and that was a different level of energy.  I didn’t know a ton of people, but that didn’t stop everyone from cheering each other on and judging others!

18.1 = Done.

My first CrossFit Open workout is complete. The Open is the annual chance for anyone around the world to compete against themselves and each other on some really hard workouts!

18.1 is the first of 5 workouts. You can find more info about 18.1 here.

I was able to complete it scaled as written:

20 Minute AMRAP:

8 Hanging Knee Raises

10 Dumbbell Hang Clean and Jerk (5 on each side) 35#

14 Calorie Row

I was able to complete 290 reps or 9 rounds plus 2 reps. The dumbbell was definitely the hardest part for me.
