Open Workout 12.3 

The CrossFit Games Open continues to bring the CrossFit community closer and closer together, as all CrossFitters around the WORLD perform the workouts week after week as they are announced. This event is AWESOME!

We have had some great visitors come into our box so far during this years open. Canadians for week 1, Texans for week 2, and Arizonans came today for week 3! So great to connect and be able to help these athletes get their Games Open workouts done and validated. Here's a re-cap of 12.3. Workout description at bottom of post.

Matt & Audrey from Free Range CrossFit in Arizona bring in the whole family for 12.3!

All Non-registered Athletes did 12.3 at CrossFit AllStar! Here's Monica going for it!

Even Keanan 13 yrs. old does 12.3! Awesome!

Coach Don does 12.3 and curls up in a heap after, he truly gave it all he had!

 My experience with 12.3

I had walking pneumonia for the past week and could barely get out of bed all week right in the middle of the CF OPEN! 12.3 was the first wod I did in 6 days with a score of 302. It felt awful to be sick and do that wod. Horrible. Thought there was no way I would try again, but Se Famy from CrossFit Ewa Beach told me she did it twice, so I thought I CAN TO! Well I did 12.3 again for the second day in a row today and impr...oved my score to 335! The power of friendship, her encouragement, some antibiotics and the desire to climb the leaderboard had me going off today. Thanks Se! Appreciation to Tammie Akau for coming in with her whole family to judge & count reps for me. What a day! I went straight for a celebratory Kombucha and popsicles for the kids.
