Hey Team,
Looks like it will be the end of April for us opening now and the Open will definitely be online. We’re disappointed of course. But let’s pick it apart:
Week 1 –
this week (almost over) Colette’s coaching challenge is underway and the kids are back at nursery
Week 2 –
next week. Another Coach challenge from Ryan, who just signed up to the Open.
Week 3- The Open starts
Workout 21.1 with a historic first of being almost entirely online
Week 4 –
Workout 21.2 – second week of the Open – we’ll have a good idea of the ones to watch in house and see where the Games athletes really stack up now that Matt Fraser is out of the equation. Could Rich Froning be back to clinch a 5th title . . . thus forcing Fraser out of retirement for 2022 .. . .
This is also a potential return to outdoor training for the Kids and Teens. Maybe more for us but no promises.
Week 5 –
Workout 21.3 – final week of the Open and we’ll see who from CFG will be getting sweet prizes for smashing their category.
Those from CFG who have access to fully loaded home gyms could potentially book their spots to the quarter finals.
Week 6 –
Start of April and end of full lockdown. We start the countdown to our glorious return.
Once we’re back in the gym we ‘should’ stay there and conditions ‘should’ improve over the rest of the year with more vaccines and a lessening of restrictions. We are all desperate to see you all again and to start making plans for our 10th Affiliate anniversary – a perfect end to this mess, a line under the hardship and look to a bright future.
Finally, we just overtook CrossFit Witham in Lincoln to retake our rightful place at the U.K. top spot. They only have about 150 members and they will fight hard to keep it from us but we believe in you and believe we can not only keep our clean sheet but also set an example worldwide that CFG doesn’t mess about.
