The Open is Open for Registration!

Perhaps in honor of AR doing the first repeat Open workout in 2018, CrossFit opened registration for the CrossFit Open today! CrossFit HQ's Rory McKernan does a great job explaining the Open in the video below, and for those unfamiliar with the Open this is a great way to get some of those big questions answered.

In short, the Open is the first step in qualifying for the CrossFit Games. It is also a fun opportunity to measure your fitness across a test of five workouts over five weeks. You can then see how you stack up against others at Arena Ready, others in California, and others in the world! Plus, it's a chance to be in the photos Rob will use in the blog for the rest of the year :)

Also, speaking of Rob, he's scheduled to be back tomorrow, so you can look forward to the blog returning to it's usual quality shortly!
