First Announced CF Games WOD

Director of the CrossFit Games Dave Castro just recently announced one of the first workouts for the 2017 Games and it gave me flashbacks to the Open announcements and his terrible handwriting. The workout itself isn't really that clear; all that has been shown is that it is a Run-Swim-Run WOD. Distances and duration has not been revealed to us but you can bet it will be challenging. This year is the first year that every division will do the same workout. The teens, masters and individuals will take this workout on together! It will be interesting to see how many (if any) teens and masters beat some of the individuals!

Have a watch at Dave's oddly irritating handwriting skills and dramatic reveal of the first WOD below:
