Congrats to Ryan Hill for lifting a shit tonne today at the Welsh Champs today! Congratulations, more impressively, for eating as much as you did this evening! Reebok CrossFit Cardiff WoD

Note to self...don't smash yourself in the face with a spanner! I may get out in time to watch 14.3. Reebok CrossFit Cardiff WoD
"14.3"
Who knows what it is yet
Please post whatever it is to comments...
The open is nearly upon us guys! Only a day left to sign up, now SIGN UP!! You'll probably do the workouts anyway so you may as well! Be sure to join Reebok CrossFit Cardiff as an affiliate and team!
We shall look at getting the WODs done on Friday nights. Either that or Saturday mornings. There will obviously be folk (like me) who can't perform them on the Friday every week, but the atmosphere is so much better when we all do it together; watch each other smash out PBs in everything!
Finally, that's what the open is awesome for! So many people push themselves during the workouts to getting lifts and movements that they have never been able to before! Repping out personal best lifts and flying through muscle ups when they previously haven't been able to!
You might say the open give you wings!
