Week 1 and 21.1: The Prototype Open #Recap

The Prototype Open has officially begun and we are through our first week of action! 

First off, we have some really amazing stats that we wanted to share with you as we kicked off week 1 of The Prototype Open!

The CAPTAINS have put together TWO AMAZING TEAMS that are going to be battling it out each and every week! With that said I do have to give a special shout-out to Nicole St.Pierre (Captain of The Dark Side) and Dan McCarthy (Captain of The Light Side or The Rebellion). They have been INCREDIBLE thus far going above and beyond and have made The 2021 Prototype Open SO AWESOME, so we want to thank both of you very much!!!!

Shout out to THE CAPTAINS!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!

To give you the breakdown and overview of Week 1, you will want to check that out below as we have all the scores, highlights, and stats that will certainly blow your mind! So scroll down and check it out!

This challenge wasn’t easy BUT there was an option for every athlete who signed up to attempt for their team!

Here are some pics from Challenge 1.1:

And here were the results!

The Prototype Open follows the CrossFit Games Open workouts as they are announced every Thursday night at 8 pm ET. The difference is we have created an Intramural style event which is now going on for the past 7 years that allow all of our members to participate and contribute to a team to crown The Prototype Open Champion!

21.1 was super sneaky AND a lot harder than many predicted it to be after it was announced by Dave Castro of CrossFit HQ.

The great thing about this year’s CrossFit Open is that they have multiple versions of the workout that have made it incredibly more inclusive to people, especially since we have been living in a year where many people couldn’t come into a gym.

Here was the workout in case you missed it:

After the announcement of 21.1, our captains had already chosen TWO members from their teams to go head to head to get The Prototype Open kicked off on the right foot and they did not disappoint! They went LIVE in our Members Only Group on Facebook and got after it!!

Shout out to Heather and Jay Clancy of The Light Side and Scott and Vangie Cleversey of The Light Side going head to head to earn some extra points for their team!

After the head-to-head battle royale, everyone got a little less sleep due to the stress that the Open creates. But it’s ok because the house was PACKED at every class on Friday (packed for COVID…) and nearly EVERYONE got this workout in! And if they didn’t do it on Friday, they got it in at open gym on Sunday (10am-12pm during the Open) OR at the 8am or 9am THRIVE class on Monday!

Now, the part you’ve all been waiting for or scrolling for…the results of Week 1! Before you scroll down and check the score, we have to give a HUGE shout-out to a few people who earned some extra points for their team. We call these our PASSION POINTS.

Each week, the team at Prototype selects 1 INDIVIDUAL to receive 5 additional points for their efforts during that week. The passion points are:

Shout out to the folks below for earning these points for their team this week!

Additionally, the Top 20 scores for both Men and Women gain an additional 3 points for their teams. These individuals are below! It was pretty balanced between both teams (10/10 for the men) however, the women of The Dark Side took a slight edge this week over The Light Side ladies!

Again, it was a battle this week as we had over 98% of the 196 people who signed up for The Prototype Open participate in 21.1!!! But, this week The Dark Side took both 21.1 and Challenge 1.1 and sits on top of the leaderboard!

We do have a lot of time left to earn some points back for The Light Side and it’s still anyone’s game!
