Last week we kicked off the 2024 Prototype Open with our first challenge, as well as our head to head battle! The 2024 Open will be an exciting one, with new challenges and workouts that will have the athletes of all teams pushing their limits! 

The first head-to-head challenge took place Friday night. Each team picked one person to compete in the challenge. Damon Walsh (Team Blue), Nicole Croteau (Yellow Team), Tommy Flynn (Green Team), and Nunu Phan (Red Team). Where Tommy finished first!  It was a showdown of epic proportions, the four competitors took on WOD 24.1 to gain the most points for their team. This week we will be announcing the next four competitors that will face each other for the next head to head!

The first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Open was a challenge, testing athletes’ strength, endurance and mental toughness. WOD 24.1 was for time with a 15 minute time cap, consisting of 21, 15, 9 DB snatches and burpees. But it wasn’t that simple, having to complete all 21 DB snatches on one arm, following a set of 21 burpees, back to 21 DB snatches on the opposite arm and another set of 21 burpees, and so on. 

For the duration of the Open, all classes on Friday will be the workout for the open. New for this year we will be having our head-to-heads every Friday during the 5:30pm class. Come to the gym to cheer your team on! 

The first challenge of the open was 1 min max double unders. The top three men and women each earned 5 points for their team, while each participant earned one. More challenges to come this week.

Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
