The Open is upon us at 5:00pm tonight… What do you think the first workout will be? Let`s here your ideas in the comments. Here are some answers to questions that may come up over the five weeks. Feel free to ask any Coach if you need clarification.
Should I re-do my WOD?
Is getting a couple more reps going to really help your placement or the team? It also depends on how your body is feeling, if re-doing the workout will make it hard for you to continue training through the week and get ready for the next workout, don’t do it! Remember to keep up your regular training schedule during the Open, you don’t want it to be doing the Open workout 3 times a week.
What if I cannot complete the Open Workout as prescribed?
Unfortunately, if you cannot do one rep of the workout it is a disqualification in the competition 
When can I do my Open Workout?
You can complete the Open workout on Friday 10:30am or 6:30pm downtown or during class time on Thursday in the Westshore. There will also be other chances on the weekend to do the workout or retest. The times will be posted on the blog. Keep your eyes on the website, coaches may post a time they are in the gym outside of these times.
Can I do the workout when it is posted for the Workout of the Day?
Yes, you are welcome to do the workout during class as long as you have your own judge present and it is not disrupting the agenda of the class, for example running heats if it is not feasible. Coaches are not judging athletes during their class.
I can’t do the workout during the posted time, can I another time during the week?
You are welcome to come in while the gym is open, as long as you are not disrupting anything that is going on currently in the gym. You will have to arrange your own judge and get the approval from the coach on site. Available judge contact info will be emailed to you.
Where do I put my score sheet when I have completed my workout?
Give the coach on site your score sheet to place in the Admin folder by the front desk.
When do I have to submit my score by?
You have until the Sunday at 5pm after the Open workout is released. You will not be able to post the score after that time, thus not continuing in the competition.
How does my score get Validated?
Once you submit your score online, it will be sent to Deanna to validate. We will require a copy of your score sheet to confirm for validation, so make sure to leave it at the gym.
Can I judge a workout?
If you are wanting to judge, you need to make sure to watch the workout video requirements and be comfortable with sticking to those standards and calling reps if they are not completed correctly. Talk to Billie Jane or Deanna.
What if I am not a member at the Zone, can I complete the Open workout at the gym?
Yes, you are welcome to complete the Open workout with the Zoners. The cost to Non-Members is $20+HST each workout.
Good luck Zoners!
