We are making the trip down to Belton, TX early tomorrow morning for our first competition. Six different athletes from ED*CF will be competing and putting all that hard training to work. Good luck Mason, Adam, Ben O., Zach, Emily and Kimberly! You guys are going to kill it!
Here are the WODs they will be competing in over the course of the day:

2. Running Grace
Explanation – We have taken the workout “Grace” and broken it down into:
- 5 rounds of the following:
- 6 Ground to Overhead followed by 1 down and back arena sprint
- The sprint consist of running the length of the arena and touching the gaurd gate and returning to your bar to start the next round
- Your time ends at the end of your arena run when you touch your bar at the end of the 5th round
