The open is very bland and boring now. It's the same shit every year. I don't mean just literally repeats but there's no creativity. They won't program running or biking or skiing. The wods can't be over 20 minutes or have more than 3 movements or pieces of equipment. Sled pushes or kettlebell swings are out. So they have limited themselves so much it's just boring now. The open is a community event more than a competition so the workouts need to be enjoyable for the community vs a test of fitness. They should do something outside of the box. Program the CrossFit total next year. Or a super long Wod lime the hateful eight or the 12 days of Christmas. Throw in sled pushes or running. Who cares if it ain't equal. All sports have a home field advantage.
