No Friday night hitouts this year?

CrossFit 42 South on January 29, 2015 at 13:05

Correct Robbie.
The Hit-out became unviable due to the growth of our fine CrossFit community.
It has always been a stretch to prepare for 100 odd athletes to do a WOD just 5 hours after its annocement. Also this year the introducion of the scaled dividion adds another logistics hurdle.

Make sense. I’ll miss the hitout.

Will there be a prize for yelling and swearing?

Rod on January 29, 2015 at 19:44

will you be able to do the workout at other times for those that cant make a saturday?

Outside of the Saturday session athletes will need to book a trainer for a one-on-one session to be offically judged.
