Today was a choice of metabolic conditioning workouts. You could go with the classic CrossFit benchmark “Diane” (one of the Girls), or complete the same amount of work but in a different rep scheme of 15-12-9-6-3 of each.  Why?  Because “Diane” can be a huge challenge for many when the initial set of 21 is completed. With the handstand push-ups suddenly exhausted, the WOD transitions suddenly drag out and you find yourself standing there shaking out your arms wondering how you will get another one. By splitting the reps into sets with a more manageable scheme, it keeps you moving.

The Open announcement match-ups and locations have been announced (see below link). While none will be here in the Puget Sound this year, the match-ups are intriguing and the first week kicks it off with Froning vs. Fraser.
