Who's in?

I'm registered :D and looking forward to it even though there's some stuff I won't be able to do. Interested in how the scaled category is going to work.

    I guess I miss the point on some of crossfit. At this point, I’m not going to be a top competitor, so I’d rather use my $20 toward a new pair of shoes. As a side note, I’m also not one to bother writing my results on the white board (if it matters, like max lifts, I write it in my private journal). I’m only competing against myself.

    It's not so much about competition or winning for me, but it's an opportunity to have my movements judged in a safe setting, the atmosphere is amazing, and you work much harder than you usually would.

    In our box if you don't write your score, you get extra burpees ;-)

    I’d probably do the burpees.

    I'm in. I did it last year, made it halfway, before I had to crap out because the weights were too high. This year? It's on!

    I'll give it a try again, either RX or scaled depending on the workouts.

    Im registered too! I began CF last year around the time by box was doing the Open. I was super intimidated but am really excited now! I'll probably time out on anything with T2B or C2B pull-ups, but oh well.

    I've only been doing CF since June 2014. I registered, but am a little nervous. I'm doing it to prove to myself that I can do it and I like the feel of competition; I always push myself harder. And having something to work towards makes me train harder. Super Excited!

    Haven't signed up yet but I will. I had a lot of fun with it last year even with my limitations. Will probably aim at scaled, but not sure yet.

    I'm registered too! Since I've just started, I'm interested in seeing how much I improve over time. I'll definitely be aiming for the scaled option.

    I'm signed up too, but relatively new (November) so I'm not real sure what to expect! I can lift the RX amt usually, but I can't do a lot of skills yet like HSPU or T2B or KTE, pull-ups, etc…we shall see what happens!!

    ^ that is usually what limits you in the open. The first workout last year was DUs and cleans I believe. Even though I can only do one DU at a time I went ahead and did it. The later ones include the advanced movements but usually not first, so you can almost always put up some kind of score that isn't zero.

    This.

    I didn't sign up last year but we ended up doing all the WODs at my gym anyway. I won't sign up this year but I anticipate that we'll do all the WODs at my gym again this year.

    I keep track of everything on myWOD so I can see how far I have come and how much better I am getting at everything. I don't give a crap how I measure up with anyone else at my gym, much less the region/city/state/country/world so CFHQ can take my money some other kind of way.

    There are only a few things about CF that I dislike but they way they try to pressure people of all skill levels to compete in something that is really only for the most elite of the elite is my chief gripe. It would be like MLB saying that the chance to go to the World Series is open to your beer league softball team as long as you "qualify," something which would never happen in a million years.

    The Open is a blatant cash grab and I would actually respect CFHQ a lot more if they were just upfront about it.
