CrossFit Thursday:

On Friday the Academy will be hosting the 30th anniversary reunion for the Iranian Hostages, 52 of whom spent 444 days in captivity. West Point was the first place in the United States where these hostages were taken after their release in 1981. A ceremony will be held mid-morning on Friday to honor the strength, resolve and spirit which they all displayed throughout their captivity. As such, classes on Friday will begin an hour early. Because of this, CrossFit Friday is temporarily CrossFit Thursday. So, get your weight vests (IBA with some plates) on and get ready for an early Thursday morning escape planned by our very own Justin Weeks.

5 wall climbs?

kseki - check the link for a video of a WOD including wall climbs.

I was curious how many per round... I did them during the WOD in the video and it was pretty miserable doing 10 per round. I saw the draft of this WOD and just confirming that it's 5.

Good WOD and great group in there this morning. It is always more motivating to have other people there sucking with you.

Bobby, you smoked me.

JWM said...

By the way...great work for those of you rocking through that WOD with a vest and weight! It beat my down something fierce with no added weight so it was motivating to see some of you out there pushing through with the extra weight!
