We will run it as the regular WOD all day Friday and those that cannot make it can come in on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday to get judged. In order to accommodate so many people and for judging to go smoothly please bear in mind the following: - weekend hours are as normal. Saturday 9-12. Sunday 10-1. - you must enter your score onto the games website for us to validate it. - please go to the toilet, put on lifting shoes, tape up etc prior to the WOD starting. - be on time, be considerate of others, do not try and foam roll under someone lifting. - on weekends write your name into a heat slot and stick to it. - keep yourself warm or warm up by yourself. There will be warm up ideas posted on the walls, it will all be stuff you have done before, don't wait for us to tell you. - tidy up your station after you finish.
