Last week we kicked off the 2024 Prototype Open with our first challenge, as well as our head to head battle! The 2024 Open will be an exciting one, with new challenges and workouts that will have the athletes of all teams pushing their limits! 

The first head-to-head challenge took place Friday night. Each team picked one person to compete in the challenge. Damon Walsh (Team Blue), Nicole Croteau (Yellow Team), Tommy Flynn (Green Team), and Nunu Phan (Red Team). Where Tommy finished first!  It was a showdown of epic proportions, the four competitors took on WOD 24.1 to gain the most points for their team. This week we will be announcing the next four competitors that will face each other for the next head to head!

The first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Open was a challenge, testing athletes’ strength, endurance and mental toughness. WOD 24.1 was for time with a 15 minute time cap, consisting of 21, 15, 9 DB snatches and burpees. But it wasn’t that simple, having to complete all 21 DB snatches on one arm, following a set of 21 burpees, back to 21 DB snatches on the opposite arm and another set of 21 burpees, and so on. 

For the duration of the Open, all classes on Friday will be the workout for the open. New for this year we will be having our head-to-heads every Friday during the 5:30pm class. Come to the gym to cheer your team on! 

The first challenge of the open was 1 min max double unders. The top three men and women each earned 5 points for their team, while each participant earned one. More challenges to come this week.

Kathy has been an amazing member of the PTS community for 12 years and an incredible part of our community. Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our July POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I love Prototype. I knew Mike and Brian from BSC and Mike approached me one day, saying that he thought I would really love a crossfit workout. Naturally, I thought he was out of his mind. I have loved every minute of my time for the past 12 years. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community. No matter what class I take, everyone is warm and welcoming. It isn’t always easy to walk into a new class, at Prototype that is never an issue for me. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love to travel. I enjoy hiking, walking, tennis and swimming. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? When I am at Prototype, I can block out the noise of the world around me and just breathe. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My dad lived until 101.5 years old. He always did some form of exercise and it paid off for him. My goals are to continue to be active, get on the floor with my grandchildren and be able to get up. I really feel that exercising is akin to making a deposit for the future. There will come a time when I will have to make some withdrawals, and I want to have enough deposits to cover those withdrawals. 6.) Favorite Quote In a world where you can choose to be anything, choose to be kind
