The dumbbell made it's first-ever appearance in the CrossFit Open a year ago in 17.1. One year later, it makes its return--along with some toes to bar and rowing--for 18.1. Are you registered for the Open yet? You have until Monday at 5:00 to get signed up and submit scores for 18.1!

All Friday classes (except QuickFit at 9 AM) will be performing 18.1 today. It's a 20-minute AMRAP, so everyone is highly encouraged to arrive early for some extra warm-up time.

We'll also run 18.1 Open heats on Saturday at 10:00 AM. CFV members, garage-CrossFitters, travelers, all are welcome to attend and there is no drop-in fee for the Open! See you in the gym!
