Week two of the 2018 CrossFit Open is over; our lungs have stopped burning, we can finally sit down properly and now we’re getting ready to go back to battle. While you wait for 18.3 to drop like a scorching hammer, here are 6 things that were pretty special about 18.2.


1. When this little boy — AKA Coach Charlie — cheered on his mom crushing those burpees.

2. When Brooke, who’s only been doing CrossFit for three months at CrossFit Devils Backbone, said NBD to dumbbell front squats and jumped right into the Open.

3. When Cerebral Palsy told Janet “aint gonna happen”, then Janet showed CP what’s up.

4. When Brooke, who is visually impaired, came back for week 2 and JUMPED over the bar on every rep.

5. When Rory McKernan withdrew his own score cause he didn’t like some of his (no) reps.

6. When Misty stepped up and tackled her fear of burpees.

***BONUS: When Kaleb Miller, WHO ONLY HAS ONE ARM PEOPLE, said F-YOU Dave and did 18.2 RX. He held the dumbbell with his neck — WITH HIS NECK PEOPLE! Oh and he wasn’t happy with his score so he redid it Monday and got 12 reps more. Total BAMF. Be more like Kaleb.
