Week 1 of the CrossFit OPEN off to a GREAT START!
Aloha gang!
The CrossFit OPEN is off to a great start and were just over mid-way through the first 3 weeks! SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLETED THE WORKOUTS we have piles and piles of scorecards! Nice job I couldn't be prouder of all of you and our gym community!
This is our largest group of Open athletes from CrossFit AllStar EVER, even though we're in a Pandemic, which tells me a couple things:
- CFAS Athletes WANT to do EVENTS again and be part of a TEAM
- CFAS Athletes enjoy BEING with OTHER PEOPLE giving and receiving support, encouragement, and motivation
- CFAS Athletes are READY for CHALLENGE and want to improve themselves
- CFAS Athletes WANT to have FUN!
RIGHT ON! I am with YOU!

WEEK 1 SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD (drum roll please.............) GOES TO:
ARIEL LAPILIO!
Right out of the gate, Ariel showed up at 5am just to support, watch, and help judge even though she wasn't doing the workout at that time. Her support continued all day long on the Open Workout, she was present for as many of the workouts as she could be (I think it was almost all of them in Week 1. Despite being a full time student in college, having a full time job, and recovering from an injury....she showed up to support ALL teams not just Blue. She had stickers made for ALL TEAMS and you can pick yours up on the judges table MAHALO COACH, CAPTAIN, AND WEEK 1 SPORTSMANSHIP WINNER ARIEL!

Judges course?
If you haven't taken it, but your interest is now peaked, please do so! You still can!
If you HAVE taken the course i'd like your certificate to put on the board. This lets everyone know who our certified judges are so they can help answer questions the most accurately and offer assistance to those who need it. And some folks just LIKE having a certified judge, but again unless you're trying to qualify to move forward passed the 3 weeks, having a certified judge is not mandatory.
Remember to submit your score by MONDAY 2pm at the latest
Sometimes the website will jam up by official deadline of around 3pm!
DO NOT WAIT TO SUBMIT YOUR SCORE! Do it as soon as you get done with your workout so you don't forget!
It's EASY you can do it right from your phone:)
KEEP ROCKING EVERYBODY!
With appreciation for each one of you,
Coach KC
