These pics by Rob really sum up the Open for me. Coaching, cheering, working your butt off, and then partying is what makes our “Friday Night Lights” so fun. This week stick around after 17.5 on Friday night; bring drinks, grub and just hang out to close out the Open. We will have “Fittest On Earth: A Decade of Fitness” playing on the TV in the lobby and the “Fittest On Earth: *Only In SnoRidge CrossFit” playing out in the gym.
Join us in the lobby Thursday afternoon at 4:45pm for the 17.5 announcement. Pray for no thrusters!

Tomorrow is Open Workout 17.4 (below). The WOD formerly known as 16.4 is back! It’s time for the annual Open repeat. It is also St. Patrick’s Day! So wear green, bring your best handstand push-up and deadlift face, and get ready to party after Friday Night Lights tomorrow night.
Come to any class and you will get the WOD done. When you arrive please check in with the coach to be assigned a wave. Start warming up in time for your wave.
This will be an “engine” and shoulder test as well as ability to transition quickly between movements without wasting time. Expect to break up your deadlifts and wall balls into small, manageable sets with minimal rest rather than larger sets that require standing around. Use a belt if you are used to one. Alternate your grip on the barbell. If you are able to reach the wall then ensure your hips are off the wall and heels are over the line for each rep. Have your judge communicate the count when the rep is clean before you kick down or start the next one. Fast singles can save your shoulders rather than wasting reps and balancing on your head inverted.
Note: RX Smartgear HSPU mats under your head are NOT RX for this workout. Your hands and head must be at the same height on the ground.
Workout 17.4/16.4
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 13 minutes of:
55 deadlifts (use mats)
