Choose your own WOD-Venture!

WOD 1 or WOD 2? Which will you choose today? This may be the first time in Vic City history that we have given a choice between two separate workouts. We have had double WODs before, but not a choice between one or the other.

We are revisiting CrossFit Open WOD 12.5 which is an escalating version of Fran, but with chest-to-bar pull-ups. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then perhaps we can interest you in what is behind door number 2: a 2000m row for time!

Both workouts will be roughly the same duration, but will elicit significantly different sensations. If you are planning on doing the Open this year, I highly recommend doing as many of the upcoming revisited Open WODs that you can in order to prepare you for the challenges ahead. If you want to set an important benchmark row time, then the 2k row is an excellent metric to have in your back pocket. It will give you quite a bit of valuable data for future rowing workouts.

Whatever you choose, fitness will be done, sweat will be shed, and good times shall be had!

Oh ya, MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL! Coach Caleb
