Just did 24.2. Gave it my all. Doing crossfit for 6 months. Did scaled.

@user911 This is my 9th open I think, and I didn’t do as well as some others in the gym or as well as I wanted to, either. But i showed up, and gave 100% of what i had today. That’s all we can ever do, right? You vs the workout! Consistency is key, keep showing up.

 

[user911]

@leemills Yeah I will, I'm not letting it break me!

@user911 You’ve probably heard this before but maybe you need to hear it one more time: don’t compare yourself! It’s your fitness journey and yours alone.

 

[user911]

@timberwolf1984 Yes, competing with myself only!

 

[chevyguy89]

@user911 Youve got a few days left to redo it. Rest and try again in a few days.

 

[user911]

@chevyguy89 Yeah might do, thanks!

 

[qutcut]

@user911 Great job

 

[user911]

@qutcut Thanks so much!

 

[lighthouse247]

@user911 I mean, you worked out harder than probably 98% of the population, be proud and happy.

 

[user911]

@lighthouse247 Yeah I am now. All the comments really helped too!

 

[rfhthepoet]

@user911 I’m happy you tried!

 

[user911]

@rfhthepoet Thanks!

@user911 I think I'm just going to do half a round of RX. Cannot do double unders. And scaled is too easy for me.

 

[user911]

@beabee Best of luck!

 

[mcleanch1]

@user911 Feeling inspired

The comments on here are lovely! I did the scaled version too yesterday in the CrossFit gym, however as part of the usual WOD (so not judged)
I was so scared to go to the actual open sessions in the evening that I just decided not to for fear of looking like an idiot!

I’ve only been doing CrossFit since October and managed 7 rounds (however previously have done a lot of cardio and I felt this one leant into that a lot more)

You guys have inspired me to give a proper judged session a go - so true that ‘average’ is people sitting on the couch and not trying!

 

[user911]

@mcleanch1 Yeah it's been very kind on here. Definitely go for it. Glad this helped and best of luck!

 

[mysonsmysons]

@user911 You didn’t sign up for the Open to go to the Games, right?!

If I had to guess, you are doing it for baseline fitness and the thrill of doing something hard on purpose.

Learn from it and forget about it! Next week will be here soon enough!

 

[user911]

@mysonsmysons Haha yeah not aiming for the games. True true!

 

[rebecca16]

@user911 I did it RX and I still don’t have good double unders and I struggled through it. I ended up with a total score of 310. I’m probably gonna redo it Sunday because during the wod my jump rope broke at the handle and I had to go find another one really quick and of course it was too short, Shit happens. You should be quite proud of six rounds and like everybody said, you showed up. You gave Your best effort. One of the things that I’ve learned to be proud of is the effort that I put in I don’t necessarily care about the end result as long as I put forth my best effort and gave it what I had to give on any given day. Be proud of the effort and work ethic.

 

[user911]

@rebecca16 Yeah true, all we can do is our best!
