Alongside pain, suffering, misery and triumph (possibly), the second CrossFit Open of the year brings with it the second Trash Talk Thursday. Once again Pat Vellner, Brent Fikowski, Lukas Esslinger, Travis Williams and Lukas Esslinger will all compete against each other every week.
Trash Talk Thursday – The rules are simple
The athlete with the lowest score on their first attempt of each Open workout must complete a punishment that has been previously posted to instagram. This punishment must be uploaded onto instagram as well. Here is one of the punishments that Pat Vellner endured earlier this year.

Pat Vellner explains the first Open humiliation for 20.1:
“Sorry we don’t have any top 10 athletes this year. Just a bunch of has beens who got snipped, but I promise it’ll be fun anyways. Loser on their first attempt at 20.1 will have to eat a sandwich made up of ingredients chosen by the winners. Place your bets!”

The CrossFit Open is back in town, and so are the boys.

Pat Vellner – Addicted to travel so he can post cute travel pics on the gram and add to his fridge magnet collection. #livelovelaughtravel. And sure, he qualified for the CrossFit Games this year with 143 other dudes, but did you hear he got CUT before the competition even finished?! ✂️? .
Jason Carroll – He stays fit exclusively so he can continue to apply for jobs as a “young-looking Tom Hanks stunt double”. Oh did I mention that he got cut ✂️ from the CrossFit Games? Because he did.
Lukas Esslinger – At dinner parties he introduces himself by whipping out a little trophy. he points to it and says ? “I won the marathon row at the 2018 CrossFit games!!” ? but what he DOESN’T mention is the next year he got cut✂️ .
Travis Williams – This guy has bounced around to so many different teams he’s lost count. tbh he hasn’t really been on that many teams but his counting skills are very poor. However he can count to 1; which is the number of times he got cut at the CrossFit Games this year ✂️.
Trash Talk from Travis Williams

Anyone else ready to see how unfit Pat Vellner is this week?! Worst finish ever at the games this year. I think it’s carrying right on over into the open.
But who knows Fikowski is famous for his all or nothing ability.
(On Jason Carroll) I made fun of Tom hanks a lot last year and it never seemed to work. So this year I’m rooting for you buddy. Hope you win them all.
And as for the ? Lukas Esslinger…. i mean if it’s a marathon row ? #wubbalubbadubdub

Let’s introduce the fellas because you probably already have forgotten who they are …
Brent Fikowski – Went on a date with MARY during the games and thought he could take it slow….boy was he wrong ??♀️ #denied
Pat Vellner – He thought he could bring back the phrase “White Lightning” in the sprint event and make it relevant again….nope #cut⚡️
Travis Williams – He was doomed to begin with when #Crossfit changed the open schedule… He’s already in “stage 2” of layering on his “Winter Coat” #KeepingtheFATkidturnedCrossfitterStoryAlive
Lukas Esslinger – a poor man’s Lukas Hogberg..let the people decide though ??#theBlondeLukasOrtheBrunetteLukas
Me – Open Hero, Who is Mary? I couldn’t even get her email ?? I hope all of you enjoy the next 5 weeks! Get your group together and lets see some #Humiliation ????
