2/21 Foodie Friday

Our 2023 Intramural Open Teams were based on where we all liked to workout in the gym when it was bigger. Team North side one that year.

How to Eat for The CrossFit Open!

The CrossFit Open is just 7 days away!
The Open is a world-wide online CrossFit competition and it's SO.MUCH.FUN. We are doing an Intramural Open which means that EVERYONE in the gym is a team player.
We have 2 teams:
Early Birds - Everyone who coaches and attends 6 and 9am classes 
Night Owls - Everyone who coaches and attends noon and 5:30pm classes
The Open is a competition and we often drive just a littler harder through the Open workouts. Your nutrition over the next 3 weeks will help you perform AND recover. 
I'm sharing a great, concise guide that CrossFit published in 2022 to eating well during The Open. You can read it below. ​

Of course, you'll want a recipe to get you all ready to crush the Open. Click on the image below for a delicious recipe for caramel mocha protein shake courtesy of Working Against Gravity. You'll want to enjoy this shake as a pre or post workout source of important calories and vital macronutrients. ​
