I’ve been doing the CrossFit Open since the very first one back in 2011. Every year, I show up, I push hard, and I test myself—just like all of you. But over time, my perspective on the Open has changed. It’s no longer about feeling like there’s something forcing me to compete or prove something. Instead, I look at it the same way I would for any everyday CrossFitter: What can I learn from this—and how do I use it to get better? Because that’s what the Open really is. It’s not just a competition. It’s feedback.
Every year when the CrossFit Games Open rolls around, something special happens inside a CrossFit gym. You can feel it in the air. The nerves are a little higher. The cheering is a little louder. Athletes push a little harder than they normally would on an everyday workout. Something about the Open brings out a level of effort and excitement that is hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it. And after participating in every single Open workout since the beginning, I can confidently say this: there is nothing else like it in the entire fitness world.
