Competing in
the CrossFit
Open, which
is the annual start to
the Reebok CrossFit
Games in August, is
tough and exhausting.
The Open started in late
February and has five
workouts that anyone
above the age of 14 can
attempt — just log your
score on gamescross
fit.com (with video
proof), or go to a local
box — that’s CF slang
for “gym” — with an
offi cial judge.
But it’s a humbling
experience to check
online after a brutal
workout you thought
you smoked and
realize you placed only
43,438 out of 150,000-
plus people. Gaining
ground against the
“Fittest on Earth” won’t
be easy, but these tips
from Ron Mathews, the
2016 CrossFit Games
Master’s champion, will
prep you for next year’s
Open and blast your
wayintoregionals.
