Open Recap!
Well first off I want to say how incredibly proud I am of every one of you! We had 20 people sign up for the Open this year, and you all did so good! The Open is about so much more than just the first step to qualify for Regionals. It is about that, but it is also about pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone a little bit more. It’s about trying things you normally wouldn’t try, getting PR’s on your lifts mid workout, pushing harder than you’ve pushed before, and finding things you need to work on. It’s about community and cheering on your fellow boxmates to pick up that bar in 3, 2, 1… high fives, smiles, and pats on the backs. I’m really proud of everything you guys accomplished and I hope you all had as much fun as I did! I know I’m going to miss so many, but I wanted to highlight a few of our accomplishments. We had lots of first timers to the Open (Jackson, Naomi, Junior, Stacey T, Bonnie, Lori, Krish) who showed us how determined and strong they are. We had multiple people PR their Squat Clean during 16.2 (Ashton, Krish, Julie, Naomi), Stacey T PR’d her Power Snatch (then did 9 more!) in 16.3. We also had PR’s on the dreaded 16.5 repeat workout (Jordan -0:40, Kendl -0:59, Jenny -0:04). In addition to these accomplishments, I know we had big wins in our mental game and effort given to each workout, you guys are all so inspiring!

Coach Kendl finished out the Open in 10th place in our Region, and is headed to Dallas in May!! Kendl showed us how consistent she is, moving up the leaderboard after each Open workout. Great job Kendl! We can’t wait to cheer you on!

Now it’s your turn… share your favorite moment(s) of the 2016 Open with us in the comments below or on FB, we want to hear them!

Awesome job everyone, way to push through all 5 workouts! Now it’s time to set some goals we want to accomplish and get back to work! πŸ™‚
