The Plan for the Open: The CrossFit Open starts this week which involves completing one workout per week for five weeks. Unlike normal workouts, these workouts need to be judged to competition standard and validated by Coastal CrossFit in order for them to count towards your score.
At this stage (and this may change) our main session for the workouts to be validated will be Saturday morning starting at 7.30am as well as Friday during open gym time. The Saturday morning session will vary in duration depending on the time domain of the workout and the number of athletes and judges we have on hand. We are also extending the Open Gym time for the next five weeks to alleviate some congestion on Saturday mornings. Open gym will now run between 3.30-5.15pm.
We do ask for your patience during this process as we have a rather large job to do on top of our normal operations. If you have a legitimate reason that you cannot attend either the Open Gym or Saturday morning, please let us know and we will do our best to get your workout validated. Second chance efforts at a workout will only be given if time permits and once all first time efforts have been through.
If you are not competing, please still feel free to attend the Saturday morning session as a normal workout. You will complete the competition workout as your WOD as per normal (without a judge).
Finally, please feel free to bring your friends and family along to cheer you on. This is a great event and having a good support crew on hand can make a real difference to your result.
