I'm doing the open


I'm doing the 2015 Crossfit Open
  • Because I've worked hard this year.

  • Because I want to see where I stack up at my gym, in my friend groups, in my county, in my state, in my country, and in the world. 
  • Because my coaches and friends have spent time and effort on me to make me better and I owe it to them to test my fitness.

  • Because I want to be a part of the larger crossfit community.

  • Because years later when I look back at this year's score I will be proud of how far I've come. 
  • Because I want to push myself. 
  • Because I want to get real comfortable with being uncomfortable. 
  • Because my hands will heal as well as my muscles.

  • Because I look forward to this all damn year.
  • Because I want to do the same workouts as the big boys.
  • Because my body is capable. 
  • Because I owe it to my gym.
    • anyone's score can be helpful for the team's score.
    • any average joe can contribute to sending a team to regionals. 

  • Because it's only $20.

  • Because I'm doing the workouts anyway.
  • Because no repping keeps me honest.
  • Because I want an excuse to take my shirt off in public. 

  • Because I don't want to explain to people why im not doing the open.
  • Because saying "I'm the 70,000th fittest in the world" sounds better than "I exercise in my spare time."
  • Because every crossfit athlete should do the open. 
  • Because I'm going to surprise myself. 
  • Because my all is good enough.
  • Because no matter how far down the leaderboard I am I'm still lapping the people on the coach. 
  • Because crossfit makes my heart sing. 
  • Because the open season is my favorite season. 

  • Because I cant wait to cheer and be cheered for. 
  • Because I won't even have to count my own reps.
  • Because Samantha and I need another post-open picture.

  • Because your body was meant to move and your heart was meant to race. 

So, 3-2-1-GO sign up for the 2015 Crossfit Open.
