The CrossFit Games Open registration is live. Everybody should sign up for this. The Open starts Thursday February 22nd and goes for 5 weeks. Each week, a workout will be announced online and you’ll have 5 days to do it. We’ll watch the live announcement every Thursday nights at 6pm and then some athletes from Pyro will go head to head. We’ll be running heats on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings. Each athlete will be able to sign up for heat times and will have an assigned judge. There is a judge course you can take online, this is highly recommend if you want to judge but not necessary. On a side note, we recommend the judge course to everyone, there’s extremely valuable knowledge there that will make you a better athlete. Every single affiliate in the world is doing the Open, 450 000 athletes competing, there are Rx and scaled divisions, online leaderboard, custom leaderboard, affiliate leaderboard, you name it, you can even track down your performance agains your age group, firefighters, police, military, this is simply the biggest community event in the world period. But what if you don’t like to compete? Don’t compete then but still sign up for you, to be better, to push yourself, to be part of it, it’s you against you, nothing more, you won’t regret it. We get that some of you might be away or will find some reason not to participate but seriously, everybody should do this, this is what bring us all together, as a community. If you’re not sure what this is about, please ask any coach, other members and go to the link below for more info. What about the workouts? Well, they’re no different than any other workouts at Pyro, the difference is in the setting, the fact that everyone is doing it, you have a judge counting your reps and making sure you hit the standards, everybody will be there supporting you and cheering you, in the end it is so rewarding. The 2018 Open at Pyro is going to be EPIC!!

This is not about going to the games, it’s about getting together, pushing ourselves, doing things you never thought possible, cheering each other, it’s about having fun. The only athletes advancing to the next level are professional athletes, that has been doing this already for years, dedicating their lives to the sport, average 3-4 hours of hard training daily, schedule, nutrition, rest, everything is calculated to make sure they perform at the highest level everyday. Couple years ago, good overall athletes pushing hard could make it, even the 1st year the regional registration was open to anyone. Now, only the top 5 in Canada West will advance to Regionals. Also, the team format has been revamped and now is harder than ever to have team qualifying.
The Open and competing is not about winning or your rank on the leaderboard, it’s about doing it, it’s about pushing yourself, it’s about the accomplishment, it’s about you getting better.
