CrossFit Games OPEN 20.1: We Are #LisaStrong

Salus • Oct 16, 2019

What a great start to the (new) competition season! The CrossFit Games OPEN 20.1 was a huge success and the energy at the box was OFF THE CHARTS…proving that we are #LisaStrong!

#lisastrong Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to everyone who came out to judge and cheer on all the athletes.

Spirit of the Games

As you’re aware, we’re doing things a little differently this year.

Just a couple months ago, CrossFit Salus Coach Lisa was diagnosed with cancer. This will be the first Open she’s missed in 8 years and so we decided to do things a little differently this year for the 2020 CrossFit Games Open. Instead of intramural teams, we will rally together as ONE.

One strong, amazing community here to support our friend and coach ?.

So, when the workouts get tough (and they will) and you feel like quitting, remember this: Together, we are #lisastrong

CrossFit Games OPEN Spirit of the Games Nominations

  • The Ricker family- Lisa for taking necessary precautions in order to show up and judge before undergoing chemo treatment the same day. She sported her purple, wore her best smile, and judged like only she can. Then her two kids AND husband who (admittedly) might be out of practice with CrossFit showing up and doing 20.1 in her mom’s honor. The definition of working as a team to show support. ~Erin
  • I nominate Angela W. for not only crushing the workout RX’d but also offering to judge and encourage other athletes. ~Angela S.
  • I also nominate Stella for attacking her first Open WOD RX! ~Angela S.
  • I nominate The Swifts (both big and small) for simply always showing up. Day or night, working out or not, they’re always cheering! ~Megan
  • My vote is for Kirstin! She did her first RX open workout and killed it ???? ~Eva
  • I am nominating Scott! It’s amazing how he just had surgery and was there with us with his presence and energy! ~Angela W.
  • My nomination for the 1st WOD is Angie S and also TQ. ~Lili
  • My votes are for Hardie, he’s such a competitive, hard worker, he redid the workout to beat his score! Very inspiring! And Kirstin who did the workout (which looked effortless!), and always pushes herself without complaining, always trying to improve.  ~Cherie

CrossFit Games OPEN TEENS & Kids

Don’t let the fun stop in the adult classes. Remember, Fridays at 4:30pm, the CrossFit Salus Teens will be attacking the OPEN.

Saturdays at 10:15, the CrossFit Salus Kids will also be participating. These kids are our future fittest! If you’re around, stop by and cheer them on (even if just for part of the class). The support would mean a lot to them.

A few reminders for the CrossFit Games OPEN:
