It was by no means about being first or final. It was in regards to the choice to strive. To place your self on the market.

Through the years, The Open simply grew to become a part of what we do at CrossFit Roots. Sure, it’s difficult. However each individual right here selected CrossFit as a result of they have been keen to take possession of their well being and efficiency. The willingness to do laborious issues—publicly, imperfectly, and collectively—is the tradition inside these partitions.

Consolation in some ways has change into the basis of a lot evil – from the digital pacifier that’s our telephones to the power to eat processed meals whereas standing in line at Dwelling Depot, to the consolation of staying inside what we’re good at, consolation is throughout us.
And the Open is looking your identify.
With a lot love and admiration for the work you every put in each day at Roots,
Nicole and Eric
