26.2 was another incredible Saturday at CrossFit Indestri

If you haven’t already, please make sure you get your score for 26.2 submitted ASAP.

26.2 is in the books, and what a morning it was.

A huge congratulations to every single athlete who stepped onto the floor and took on the workout. The CrossFit Open asks us to test ourselves in ways that regular training sometimes doesn’t. It brings nerves, excitement, and that moment before the clock starts when you wonder just how the next few minutes are going to unfold. And once again, our community showed exactly what it looks like to rise to that challenge.

To everyone who competed, well done. You guys should all be very proud of your efforts.

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered to judge. Judging is not the easy job. It requires focus, integrity, and the willingness to hold the standard rep after rep. We are incredibly grateful to everyone in this community who steps up and takes that responsibility on. We couldn’t do it without you.

A big thank you to everyone who came out simply to spectate and cheer as well. The energy in the gym was incredible. When the music is up, athletes are pushing through, and the room is filled with people clapping, cheering and encouraging one another, it creates something truly magical. That energy matters more than you might realize.

We also want to take a moment celebrate all the firsts that happened on the floor.

First reps with that dumbbell weight.
First pull ups.
First chest to bar pull ups.

These moments are what the Open is about. They’re what the magic of the open is. That’s not to take away from anyone’s hard work on the workouts that give them good scores. It’s just that these are the moments that everyone will remember. These are the moments that inspire someone on the sidelines cheering to decide to join the gym, or sign up for the open next year.

More than any score on the leaderboard, the thing we take the greatest pride in as an affiliate is seeing our community respect the movements, respect the standards, and respect the process. That integrity is what CrossFit was founded on. When the standard is upheld, every rep counts and every score means that much more.

Steph and I also want to say thank you for the patience and understanding on these busy Open mornings. We truly try our best to get around the gym, connect with everyone, and share in the excitement of the day. But with heats running, judging happening, and so many athletes moving through the floor, it’s not always possible for us to get to everyone. So if we didn’t get a chance to connect with you personally, please know how much we appreciate you being there.

Whether you were competing, judging, or cheering. Simply bringing great energy into the room, you helped make the morning incredible.

We also loved seeing so many people lean into this week’s monochrome theme. It’s always fun when everyone gets involved with the weekly themes, and it added another great layer of energy to the morning.

Looking ahead to next week, the theme is Rep CrossFit Indestri. Pull out your CFI gear and wear it proudly. We’re hoping we might even see some of the old vintage CrossFit Indestri gear make an appearance too. And if you don’t have any CFI gear, you’re in luck. We have plenty in stock in the Indestri Retail shop.

We’ve also asked Season and the team at Culinary Designs about catering some food for us for 26.3. We’ll share more details in another blog later this week once everything is finalized, but the goal is to make 26.3 a celebration to wrap up the 2026 CrossFit Open. We do need an idea of numbers to give Season and the team so they know how much food we need, so if you’re planning on attending to compete, judge or spectate next Saturday, I’ll be adding a couple polls to our instagram page over the next couple days. PLEASE take the poll if you’re going to attend so we can ensure we have enough food for everyone please.

That means, we would love to see even more of you come out to experience the Open. Come cheer on your fellow athletes, stay for the morning, and enjoy the energy that fills the gym during these workouts.

Emma will also once again be capturing content of our facility for CrossFit HQ, so we would love to fill the space and show the global CrossFit community just how special the CrossFit Indestri community truly is.

One workout left. Last one, best one.
