Week 1 of the 2022 Open is done. Woot!! Congratulations and good job to everyone who participated. Whether it was your first competition or 100th competition, there is a special vibe to the CrossFit Open.
I was so nervous before the WOD. Which seems kinda silly. I mean, how was this WOD any different from what I normally do? But it was different somehow.
I think just knowing that crossfitters across the country were all doing the same workout that day. It makes me feel like I’m part of something.
There was definitely a sense of pride when putting on the team shirt. I may never get podium points, but I can certainly show up and complete the WOD to the best of my ability and support the other athletes in my sphere.
I still can’t believe there’s a whole sport that feels tailor made for me. Unbelievably grateful for this crazy thing we do.
