The Open is inching closer, and you know what that means: it’s time for Dave Castro to terrify us a little bit more. In a new video on Facebook, he casually discusses how we think we’ve figured out what we’ll possibly see this year, referencing an “imaginary perimeter” that holds everything from previous Opens. He then explains that for this year, they’ve demolished said “imaginary perimeter.” In other words, the “imaginary perimeter” does not exist. There are no rules. We have no idea what’s going to happen. Muahahahah! Help me.

Castro’s wise words of advice? You’ve heard it before: prepare yourself for the unknown and unexpected. My money’s on thrusters and kipping walking lunge burpee pull-ups with a 50# dumbbell balanced on your face. You know, something simple.

#tbt to going head to head with @holtekristin for the @crossfitgames open 17.1 … what will @thedavecastro throw at us for 18.1 ? #crossfit #crossfitgames #InTheOpen #reebokathlete #masters35 #allthesweat #alltheengines

We’ve made our predictions for the Open, but let’s be honest: we won’t know anything until the live announcements. But isn’t that part of the fun? Isn’t it? Guys? …Hello?
