The 2026 CrossFit Games season is officially here.

In this ultra-special edition of The Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige go live for the 26.1 Open announcement and break down everything you need to know — stimulus, strategy, pacing mistakes, movement efficiency, warm-up flow, priming, transitions, and post-workout recovery.

This episode is more than a workout recap. It’s a masterclass in athlete IQ.

They dig into:
• Why simple couplets expose real fitness
• How to choose “forever” wall ball sets
• Managing the push-pull between cadence and gas tank
• Box jump vs. step-over decision making
• Body language, mindset, and competing head-to-head
• Why GPP always wins in the Open

Whether you're chasing quarterfinals or just want to execute your best possible 12 minutes, this conversation will help you approach 26.1 with intention.

Add the hashtag #RainOrShine to your Games profile and get on the Misfit leaderboard for 2026.

Now it’s time to test it.

Program for the best. Scale for the rest.
Let’s get to work.
