CrossFit WOD from hell
I did’nt expect to encounter the CrossFit WOD from hell this morning when I rolled in to the box for a 5.30am start. Tradition dictates that Thursday is a little gentler on the body, enabling the Manchester CrossFit community to take it a little easier midway through the week.
A brutal combination of sit-ups, pull-ups, wall balls and running were a tough way to start the morning.
