Well that’s a wrap folks! The 2022 CrossFit Open has come and gone. We will be totaling all the scores and let the teams know who won once all the scores are in later this week. Thanks for a great and memorable Open CFD!
You all did very well and it’s time for my final thoughts for this Open season. So, without further ado… I can tell you from experience that there are exactly two types of people looking at the open scores right now. Type 1 is a little bit disheartened. They are looking at the scores and something like this is going through their heads, “Oh boy! 43,568th place… I suck at this stuff!” I’m also willing to bet that this is their first open and they have been doing CF for somewhere around a year plus or minus six months. Type 2 is roughly the opposite of that. This is their second or third open and they are looking at their place saying something like “43,568th WOW! I can’t believe that I improved by so much in one year!”
If you’re something like type 1, please hold your head up high. You are right on track! Fitness like anything else worth having, takes time to build, grow, and mature. You may be a phenomenal runner or tri-athlete but CrossFit and overall health and wellness, is much more encompassing. Think about how much stronger you are since you started by us. Think about how much more resilient to injury you are. How much better you feel throughout the day. We are moving the needle on your health and the open is simply a marker showing where you are on that day. Just like the reason why I love a barbell… it’s always the same. The weight never changes. Either you become stronger or weaker and it will feel lighter or heavier. The open is like that. It just shows you where you are at that time. So hold your head up high, take it a face value, this is where you are. Right now. Right here. You wanna do better….? Let’s get to work! Let’s build from here! You’ve got this and we’re here to help!
Oh, and if you’re a Type 2… I’m proud of you! 😉 Be ever proud of how far you have come and yet never satisfied with it. Let’s keep moving that needed higher. Also, let’s help others along the journey to become the best possible version of ourselves we can be.
Here is a great discussion on the Sickness Wellness continuum from CrossFit Head Trainer Jenn Hunter-Marshall:
This is what matters. In the long run. Not some “score” in an online competition. I know you get it. 😁
