Quote of the day: “Effort only releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”

This WOD was all about getting work done. Given a task, a set of rules, and a device to transport it, it was up to you to strategize how to complete it with as few of trips and as fast as possible. After the morning class served as guinea pigs for the WOD, we tinkered with it to make it a little harder, adding more reps to the burpee box jumps and requiring at least one overhead barbell carry among other things. This final version was quickly tested by a group of us and deemed worthy of a good WOD. Cathy however is my new official WOD helper as she constantly recommended things to make it harder (like wearing a weight vest)!

Hope you liked it, the Week of the Games continues tomorrow…
