With the 2018 CrossFit Open right around the corner, we have setup another year of our Preseason Open workouts with CrossFit Walnut Creek. This is just a fun way to get in some of the past CrossFit Open workouts, in preparation for the upcoming Open. Just like the past few years, we’ll alternate weeks between […]
