Going To The Games
“There’s a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of tired.”

Deep Squats (Thoughts)
The 2026 CrossFit Open is complete. Congratulations to everyone that participated. It’s a big deal to arrange your schedule for an extra workout for 3 weekends.
There are a bunch of announcements in this email so I hope you read all the way through.
The next stage of the CrossFit Games competition is the Online Quarterfinals – March 26th through the 30th. In 2026, the top 25% of Individual and Age-Group athletes worldwide advance from the Open to Quarterfinals.
Typically, CrossFit releases 4 workouts that must be completed between Thursday at noon and Monday at 5PM. There is rarely an opportunity to repeat any of the workouts. All athletes must use a registered CrossFit Judge (CF Judges Course). Please read the rulebook if you plan to participate. I can’t judge everyone, so everyone doing Quarterfinals will need to complete the Judges Course.
Those that wish to compete need to talk to me in advance so we can coordinate times for Quarterfinal workouts throughout the weekend.
Wondering if you qualified? Download the CrossFit app on your phone and login with your CrossFit ID! You’ll get instant notification of your ranking. It’s an awesome app for all things CrossFit.

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography.
Tim’s Takeaway: A long read/listen, but worth it. I learned so much about Agassi. He really lays himself bare. The whole time I listened I thought of the quote, “Victory goes to the vulnerable,” from Graham Betchart. Agassi becomes the winner in the end because he is willing to put it all out there. Sharing his story, undoubtedly, liberates him from the burdens and baggage of his experiences. I believe it also serves a great purpose in helping others manage their own lives. Another option is the “Jerry Springer Effect” where you can watch someone else’s trainwreck of a life and be thankful your life isn’t near as bad.
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
