—Well Ragers, the 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games Open has finally ended today. First of all, I just wanted to thank all the volunteers who helped judge (Ross, E Hill, Shayne, Jeff, Dan, Stacey C, Kyle, Rich, Shayne #2, Eric Noonan), print out scorecards (Joan), Matt Basilio (photography), and everyone else for showing their support during the Open. I hope all of you can take away something positive through this experience that will fuel your desire to become fitter each day. This will help you be better prepared for the 2014 Open as well as everyday life. These workouts tested you both physically as well as mentally (maybe not as much as the Rage WOD’s, haha). I was so proud of how everyone stepped out of their comfort zone and gave it all they had. I would like all of you to think about what you learned from this Open and what you all accomplished. Examples include: Snatch PR, Clean n Jerk PR, a first Chest/Bar Pull-up, Toe/Bar, Double Under, or Muscle-Up. Or it could be as simple as I pushed myself to the best of my ability.
—Moving forward, Rage will be hosting an In-House competition in the near future where we will crown a King & Queen of Rage. The workouts will be similar to the Open, where it will be inclusive for everyone to compete and it will be a lot of fun! I hope this will motivate you even more to push yourself during every WOD. I look forward to everyone accomplishing whatever goals they listed on the whiteboard at Rage for 2013!
—The 2013 Mid Atlantic Regional (June 7-9) is a great opportunity to see some of the best CrossFitters on the East Coast throwdown for a chance to make the CrossFit Games in July (Top 3 only qualify). If you are free that weekend, I would recommend you making the trip down to Landover, MD to spectate. Tickets will go on sale soon. Let me know if you have questions.
