Today’s workout is a chance to retest your 18.1 score or get introduced to a CrossFit open workout.

Retesting is can be a challenge as there are several factors that can make or break your workout or posting a better score…

  • Sleep: did you have a good night sleep? Did you sleep well the week and weeks leading up to your event?
  • Stress levels: If your stress levels are high (mentally, physically, emotionally) that’s extra baggage that could affect your performance.
  • Nutrition: Event day nutrition and nutrition leading up to event day can play a big role in how well you do
  • Hydration Levels: A dehydrated body can give up, up to 30% of your physical performance with a fluid loss of between 2-5%. In a person weighing 130lbs that could be a loss of 2.6lbs – 6.5lbs. Yes, hydration is that important…
  • Attitude: If you have a positive attitude going into your event it makes all the difference. What you tell yourself between the ears in any situation can change the outcome.
