CrossFit Competition

I know we have all wondered how we would fare against our CF'ing peers, now here's your chance. For the next 6 weeks the CrossFit Games "Opens" are being held. All Proving Grounds athletes are encouraged to compete (unofficially, of course) in these "Opens".
Here are the rules: After CFHQ posts the "Open" WOD each Tuesday night, we will then post it on the Thursday blog with the normal PG WOD. You (the athlete) will have from Thurs until Saturday to complete this workout. You will have a choice (during the usual 6:30pm WOD time) to do the PG WOD, or the CFHQ WOD. We will then compare our times to the times of the official "Open" participants. Your WOD does not count unless it is completed at the warehouse during regular workout times!! The workouts will be done at or near Rx, and modified accordingly (when needed, i.e., muscle ups, HSPU).
There is no athlete amoung us that should not compete---no one is too new to guage themselves against the "pros", especially if its done amoung the PG athletes. Also, with 3 days to complete these WOD's, we should all be able to complete them relatively injury free (barring current serious injury, of course)---in other words, you have time to heal before competing.
This is a great way to gauge where each athlete struggles, and where each is strong.
