CGO 14.1

The 2018 Foundation CrossFit Intramural Open (FCFio) is upon us! If you need a TL;DR essentially we are following along with the CrossFit Games Open (CGO) so we can all push each other to do our best with a friendly intragym competition. The CrossFit Games Open is an official CrossFit HQ event where CrossFitters all around the world compete in an online competition (1 workout a week for 5 weeks) and put themselves out there competing in a handful of divisions: Teens, Open Rx, Open Scaled, and multiple Masters groups.

I would love for you to sign up for the actual CrossFit Games Open. It’s $20+tax, but if you register and have a valid score for all five workouts, complete the Online Judges Course (and send in the PDF to info@), then I’ll credit your April dues $20. This way you’ve improved your knowledge base and performance as an athlete.

We have three teams in the FCFio this year:

– TEAM BE EPIC
– TEAM HURTS SO GOOD
– TEAM HELLABUFF

Unlike the past couple of years, instead of a Captain/Co-captain I’ve decided Leadership Groups would be a better alternative. There are many roles & responsibilities involved in inspiring and elevating your fellow swolemates and I think multiple leaders enforce better turnout and results while keeping all of us accountable. I’ve chosen a handful of athletes that exemplify the spirit of Foundation for these rolees and they will be announced soon.

Next week these teams will run a draft for all athletes currently signed up for the 2018 CrossFit Games Open. Today we will also put up a signup sheet for those who want to play in the FCFio, but not officially in the CGO. From there Teams will be set before the first event on Sunday 2/25. VERSUS XI will conclude the entire event (first event will be CGO 18.5).

Why You Sucked At the Open

ATTN: All athletes who a.) Registered for the CGO and joined Team Foundation CrossFit, b.) Sent in your 2017 Online Judges Course Certificate to info@fcf, and c.) Completed all 5 workouts and submitted scores online on time will receive a $20 credit to your April membership if all conditions were met.


Jacki’s last couple of reps at CGO 17.3

Staying on the subject of the 2017 CrossFit Games Open we know that each of you found something you sucked at- not necessarily movement, but maybe preparation (nutrition, sleep) or consistent training (are you cherry-picking workouts? hitting the intended stimulus) are also big factors into your performance this year. Holding onto standards and actually practicing them (I’m talking to you taped-wall-HSPU folk) throughout the year is something you KNOW you need to do, but don’t, then throw a fit when they show up. Same with rowers. Same with double unders. Same with thrusters.

Fortunately we have a full year until it shows up again. Be a more intelligent athlete and game plan! We’ll be providing you some avenues in the coming weeks. Keep your eyes here for details.
