The idea: Athletes from around the world would each complete the workouts from the comfort of their own city or town and submit their scores on the CrossFit Games website.
What's more is that the Open has been a way to track the collective progress of the community. From first pull-ups and muscle-ups to an increase in max loadings, the Open has shown that the community is getting fitter together.
Structurally, the Open is a series of workouts spaced across three weeks. Individuals can do the workouts from anywhere: their affiliates, at home, in a park, or even on a beach.
What is this app?
Other than logging your scores on games.crossfit.com, this is your one stop view for The Open at Timberhead CrossFit.
Under Leaderboard you will see a ranking of all Timberhead athletes registered for the Open through games.crossfit.com.
You can see all registerd users at the moment, but when registration closes, you will see a summary and ranking of athletes on each respective team.
