“We all have our weaknesses. We’re all exposed at some point.” — Stacie Tovar
Eight-time CrossFit Games athlete Stacie Tovar and Games athlete, coach, and CrossFit analyst Adrian Conway join host Chase Ingraham on the podcast to recap Open Test 23.3 and look ahead to Quarterfinals.
In today’s episode, Ingraham, Tovar, and Conway give their initial reactions to the final Open test. They offer their perspectives about the six-minute time cap, including the value of a short time domain, and discuss different varieties of intensity levels. The crew also discusses the coach’s role in athletes’ growth from failure and/or challenges.
The group reflects on the Open as a whole, sharing their opinions on the balance of the tests and lessons they’ve learned as coaches and athletes. They also highlight surprising performances and moments from the three-week competition.
With the Open behind us and Quarterfinals up next, Ingraham and the crew throw around possible movement combinations and workout structures they'd like to see in the next stage of competition with Tovar recognizing, "anything is possible with Boz at this point."
