I did it. I registered for the CrossFit Games Open. I read what the 1st WOD was last night, and then I had dreams that I owned those burpees. So naturally, when I woke up I felt an overhwhelming sense of urgency to register. Like it had to be done – like there was no other option. I know (this time, anyway) I won’t make it to Regionals, and that’s okay, because I’m doing this to challenge myself. There are also a handful of people from my box that are doing it too, and I feel an even deeper connection to those people for having signed up. I don’t know how it will play out, and I don’t care. I just want to see what I’m really made of, because I know it’s more than just tears and red hair. Let’s dooooooo this!

The 2012 CrossFit Open starts soon. Do you want to see how you stack up against some of the world’s most elite CrossFit athletes? Participate. The first workout will be released on the 22nd of February . . . . but you have to register first and create an Athlete Profile, so get on it now! What do have to lose? In CrossFit . . . . nothing.  Good luck!
