NorCal Classic & CrossFit Open
Test Week - The NorCal Classic
This week will be a lot of fun, we are all going to trial the NorCal Classic. Our favorite fit friends Coach Dan Mast and Dan Holmes have signed up for the RX division of the NorCal Classic, programmed by the infamous Dave Castro. Their name… CrossFit Gold, I know blasphemy but we will allow it. Coach Brian is working on some badass artwork to go along with their efforts.
This 5 workout “qualifier” gives us an opportunity to test run CrossFit Open like workouts in the environment of our classroom. The workouts are difficult, do not get us wrong, but for us it is about learning how to navigate scale options and learning more about our abilities going into the CrossFit Open 2023. Treat this week like a test kitchen. A place where you try your best to see where you are, a snapshot of your fitness.
This leaves us with the question, what is the CrossFit Open? The CrossFit Open is our yearly physical, it is the first of a multi-tier competition system that allows the best of the best to attend the CrossFit Games (which I believe some of us will attend this year, wanna come too?). The CrossFit Open is for everyone. You pay $20 directly to CrossFit and they put you into a tier system 1-10. The top 10% of all CrossFitters move onto an additional online pre-qualifier, several athletes in our gym will try their hardest to make this tier. By bringing the right mindset and energy to this week and our Friday Night Lights we will be able to see where we are at this moment, have a tangible number associated with it and have goals to achieve when next year rolls around.
Team Gold and Team Blue are again activated and the team you were on for the MidState Lift Off is the same team you are on for the CrossFit Open 2023. More details to come!
So enjoy this week! Learn from the coaches, ask lots of questions about the NorCal Classic and The CrossFit Open. Cheer on your friends and bring the energy!
