Dear Mr. Castro,
I have an idea for 18.1. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. I was wondering if you’d consider running a contest to let CrossFitters submit ideas for Open workouts and then choose one. What better way to promote the sport of CrossFit, generate more interest in the Open, and get everyone excited, involved, and have ownership in the sport.
Picture it now: You do the Open announcement at the box of the winner. You choose one athlete from the box to go against a Games athlete. What a dream come true for us average CrossFitters who will never get a chance to compete in the Games! It would be something I know I’d never forget. What a cherished memory!
This could be huge! I know, it’s more work. I get that. Still, what do you think? Could we give it a go? After all, you’ll never know unless you try. And not knowing is worse than failing.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jen Dionne
