6 posted for JesusWOD in honor of the greatest sacrifice.
The day prior, YHC was running with Juggernaut when he suggested that we do the JesusWOD at Red Friday in honor of Easter. I missed the running of this WOD the previous year and after hearing all the hype surrounding it, was excited to get the chance to do it this year. So this is what happened……..
Conditions: 62F and a perfect starry night that was finishing up for the night as we got started.
Disclaimer: Given briefly before the WOD directions.
The THANG:
14 Rds of the following:

Naked Man Moleskin:
- Sunshine took off and left everyone completing a full 8 Rds. The rest of us completed at least 6 Rds.
- Waiting until 0515 before heading to the coupon cage created a few minutes that weren’t devoted to working through the rounds. MeterMaid realizing this decided after I called out the 3 min left mark that we should tack on an additional 5 minutes to compensate. Without another thought, I barked out “Only 8 minutes left!” No one objected to the additional time and so we stayed the course. It was noted that one terrifically stiffed spined soul stayed an additional 45 minutes to complete the WOD in its entirety last year. We had no such rambunctious rebel this year.
We had a great conversation about Easter, growing older and sorer, and valuing the time we have with family each day. It was a pleasure to start such a joyous holiday weekend off with men of such strong will and character.
Until Next Time,
