Well, week 2 of the Open is now wrapped.  20.2 was a repeat from 2017.  A great and soul destroying WOD.  There was triumph and heartbreak aplenty as some triumphed and others fell short.  And there were aching muscles for all.
My body still hates me and I am deeply grateful that this year the Open is only 3 weeks long.  I’m not sure how we ever survived 5 weeks of this.  Here’s our athlete scores so far:

As we all await the announcement of some combo of thrusters and pull ups I find myself in a week 3 grudge match against two challenging adversaries.  I didn’t come into this Open with any competitive aspirations.  Just content to participate I didn’t call out Sprite or Sandman as in previous years.  But unfortunately in week one I made the mistake of finishing a few modest reps ahead of Empower gym alphas Hard Rock and Fierce and apparently in doing so I painted a target on my back.  In week two they both made a point of crushing my score in order to put me back in my place.  Of course, that will not be enough for them, as they will need a win in week 3 to satisfy their appetite for dominance so I guess ladies, this is game on.  I’m creating my victory soundtrack right now.  Shall we add stakes to this one to make it official?
