Why you should participate in the crossfit open

First let me preface with why I am would otherwise be participating in the CrossFit Open:

-to prove I am stronger than you,
-to prove I am faster than you,
-to prove I am overall better at life than you.

Here's why you should do it:

-to prove me wrong.

But for real though, if anyone gives you a reason outside of the above, they're 1) bullshitting you, 2) wasting 20 dollars OR 3) part of the <1% that actual is a regional/games level athlete. For everyone else, the opens are an opportunity to 'prove your fitness' relative to your box nemesis. What is a box nemesis? Webster defines a nemesis as a formidable and usually victorious opponent. I define it as that dude at the gym you high-five after they hit PR and chase during met cons, while thinking 'pfft lucky', 'did he do all his reps, OR 'ROM'. You could be the best of friends in real life, but when the clock reads '3. 2. 1...'

Everyone has one, but if you don't, survey yesterday's white board and find one.

The bottom line is not only should everyone participate in the CrossFit open, everyone should compete in it.
