    Hey Kelly
    Did this one at DoubleSix beach this morning using a concrete barbell I found whilst swilling and singing with the locals a couple nights ago. No idea how much it weighed but considering the heaviest thing I've lifted for the last 4 days is a Bintang bottle, I think I did ok.
    Did the 400m run on soft sand and did the burpees and box jumps (coconut palm stump jumps) separately.
    Had to buy a watch as I left mine back at the villa so I'm blaming my slow time on the questionable quality of my "genuine Rolex".
    "Wood" 34.14 less 4 minutes rest = 30.14
    Will email photos of my barbell and palm stump

    Cheers, Annie

    Annie this would have to be the best CFD comment to date. I am loving that you did this WOD with a random object, in soft sand, using a 'Rolex…'. Very funny, very inspiring, very CrossFit!
