Overall
Moving up to 55+, the weights got lighter and the movements easier. 26.1 allowed for box step overs. 26.2 used a 35 rather than 50 pound dumbbell. 26.3 used a 75 pound rather than 95 pound opening barbell.
As far as being accessible and creating separation for the quarterfinals, the programming was excellent. As far as the spirit of the open in terms of exposing holes in athlete's training, challenging athletes with uncommon movements and retesting workouts to demonstrate fitness over time, it was a bit of disappointment. I had a great time and will continue to do the CrossFit Open when I can.
