Monday, September 6th, in honor of the holiday, and because as CrossFitters we just need another excuse to run an “event” WOD, we have a new Hero WOD (new to you!).
On Monday, 9/6, we will start heats (set up) at 7:15 am and kick off heat 1 at 7:30 am. We’ll run heats every 45 minutes for four heats. We’ll be signing up for our heats with our partner at the box.
Our Hero for Labor Day is a version of “Bert”.
