March at CrossFit Optimistic was full of wins! New athletes tackled the CrossFit Open, experienced athletes completed Rx Open WODs for the first year ever, and Optimists ran a 5K to raise money for The University of Texas at San Antonio Scholarships.
Coach Mike celebrates 11 years in the CrossFit Open
“Can’t believe this is my 11th year in the Open. With the exception of maybe 2 or 3 years, I’ve never completed all the workouts for some reason or another. Also, I’ve never taken any pictures of me doing Open workouts. The only photo I found was from 2015. I was grading ‘Scoop’ aka Josh Baugh. The funny thing is, my first Open workout was with Josh, 11.1, in the back alley of Alamo CrossFit. I’m in the Open baby. I’ll complete every WOD, scale or Rx, and will snap a few pictures at each WOD. Love and Hugs.”
