"2014 CrossFit Opens Registration + Vagabond Community/Support"(1.7.2013)

*2014 CrossFit Opens Right Around the Corner*
Attention all Vagabonds: The 2014 CrossFit Opens are right around the corner! This year the Opens will take place February 27th  through the end of March. Each Saturday over the 5 weeks, the Vagabond community will complete the Opens workout together. This is a great time to test yourself and take on a fun challenge. All members are encouraged to participate in this worldwide competition- from beginners to advanced! Last year, more than 140,000 people took part in the opens and over 98% of those who competed were not elite level athletes!
Registration for the Opens begins on January 15th and you can sign up online here: http://games.crossfit.com. The cost is $20 and you will be judged each Saturday at Vagabond by your coaches and peers. The first Open workout will be released on Thursday, Feb. 27. The fifth and final Open workout will be released five weeks later on Thursday, March 27.
Vagabond had a strong showing last year during the Opens with close to 70 people participating! Let’s try to exceed that number this year!
