CrossFit Open and Team Building


Here we are one week into the 2012 CrossFit Games Open. Damn it came fast this year. I know people are pumped, nervous, excited, and about 10 other emotions. I love listening to people and reading on FaceBook what everyone says about the WOD, how they are going to attack it or even the excuses. I think its amazing all the new people that are doing the Open for the first time. Congrats to all of you!
We had over 50 people at Bayou City CrossFit to compete this past Saturday. We had peeps from Pin Up CF, CF West Houston (Aja, Aryan, Leah), and all our home field CrossFiters. What an amazing atmosphere, vibe, and energy. It made everyone feel like they where the main attraction. All I can say is Amazing. To all the judges, thank you for all the help. WOD comes out tomorrow tonight, and Saturday is Game day.



My training, I am still following Military Athlete. I finished almost all of the Ruck program and have started the Ranger program for the last 3 weeks. I have also been doing part of my workouts at 5am with Charles Johnston. Let me tell you he is loving getting up that early.
I am curious to see how I do in the open with a completely different workout program. I truly feel like this first WOD was made so that everyone no matter your skill, could do it. I am actually hoping for a higher skill set in the next WOD, and not a 6 min AMRAP of Wall Balls, LOL. That would suck. That's one thing I love about the CrossFit Games and CrossFit in general, The Unknown.

I am always looking for ways to build our Staff's camaraderie. Katie was able to set up a team building with Mattison Grey. For yall that don't know Mattison or what she does click Here and find out. She put on a great workshop for us, and she made it a lot of fun.
Below are a couple pics.
