This Saturday we have a whole bunch of amazing athletes competing at the Element CrossFit Overdose Challenge. I hope that we can have a big cheering section to support us! It helps so much to have people yelling and screaming at you when you are in the middle of a hard workout. Come out and show your CrossFit Altitude spirit!
I know for many people, competing in CrossFit is not something you are interested in and that is fine! I do love that we have this option in our sport though, to push people a little more than what they would normally. Being competitive is a great trait but it is not something that "courses" through everyone's veins. Having said that, I do feel very strongly that as long as you are pushing YOUR limits each time you do a workout and "competing" with yourself over time this is truly what being the best and fittest you can be is all about.
Also along the same lines as above, The CrossFit Games OPENis almost upon us! THIS IS OPEN TO ANYONE OF ANY ABILITY LEVEL!! and I would encourage everyone to register for the experience. Last year we saw some truly inspirational accomplishments and PR's throughout the Open. People pushing themselves to levels they never though possible. Registration for the OPEN starts on February 1st. The cost to register is $20. The competition is one workout a week for 5 weeks. We will be having ONE DAY PER WEEK for those competing to get the workout done (we have to do this to arrange for judges for the day as judges must be CrossFit certified). They will be announcing workouts for the week on Wednesdays at 5 pm. Fridays will be the OPEN WOD days. So if you plan on competing please make sure you make yourself available of the following Fridays: Feb. 24, March, 2, March 9th, March 16, March 23rd.
