On the surface, Dave Castro is talking about the cut schedule of the CrossFit Games. The competition starts with 150 athletes and dwindles down in the order he mentions. Seems pretty straightforward, right?
However, it is what else he could be talking about, which is attracting questions. Some fans have pondered that Castro could maybe be talking about the first workout of the CrossFit Open. Their theory is that it could be referring to the rep count of the 20.1, the first event of the season.
What do you think of this post from Dave Castro? Is he implying something about the CrossFit Open?
