  1. I think this is my new favorite CF WOD! Unreal. The spread between what I thought I would do and what I actually did has never been so large. By the 60’s it was taking everything I had to get sets of 3 thrusters each minute and I really wondered if I would ever finish. Happy birthday John, I will be sure to make your “birthday WOD” every year.
