Broomstick Mile


-News-

Due to the fact that I believe today is the hottest day in 70 years, Im not expecting any crazy times to come out of the workout and will scale it fairly heavily for those that don't deal well with the heat but still want to train. Going to be mainly practicing skills tonight, first by playing around with l-sits and a few other moves on the parallettes. Then the WOD is going to be a modified version of the 'broomstick mile' a deceptively hard workout involving practising barbell lifts with the broomstick and running 400's. The video above has Randal Setzler busting out some very tidy hand balancing on the parallettes at CrossFit Central.

Just for the record, the temperature yesterday in Adelaide at 7pm was 43.4 degrees.

It was savagely hot last night, I believe it was the hottest day in 70 years? More unbelievable was the amount of people out and training, awesome stuff - especially Mat coming back for his first session of '09.
