I totally get the 5K, 10K, Marathon thing. Those can be individual goals that someone wants to be part of. Sometimes someone wants to say they ran the NY Marathon and to do that you need to pay to be a part of it. Same thing could be said for the CrossFit Open. However, when you perform at the open, you're still working out at home or at your box (gym) with the same people you always have. Nothing is really that different. So this is where I feel the disconnect is. If its a goal, then hell, spend $20 and do it. But if its not a goal, then why pay $20? I don't get it either.
