After 17 years of CrossFit I still haven’t learnt. On the weekend, it happened to me again, I massively underestimated a workout and it completely ruined me.

21 - 18 - 15 - 12 - 9 - 6 - 3 reps for time of:
Knees to elbows
Double dumbbell thrusters (15/10kg)

Now a caveat and so maybe it was my fault. I did 150 KTE on Friday night and so changed the workout to be Chest to bar pull ups…
Holy burning lunging Batman! Absolutely awful and the special feeling was long lasting.

A very gassy and cheeky sprint awaits you, do not do a me…

CrossFit Cardiff WoD
3 Rounds for time of:
10 Push press (60/40kg)
20 Calorie row
40 Double unders

WoD - Bank Holiday Monday, 25th August, 2025

Dry those tears, I know it’s hard. The last bank holiday of the year.

Which by the way begs the questions, why can’t the shellfish buggers give us another one to enjoy when we desperately need it most… in the depths of winter. Some companies genuinely call it a duvet day.

What a weekend. Kerri and team AOD put on a show! Savage performances throughout and the team will be holding their heads high, and so they should!
