WOD Guidance:
Today we have a the second CrossFit benchmark to come out of combat sports. First, we had Fight Gone Bad, whose three 5 minute rounds were meant to simulate an MMA fight. The six 3 minute rounds of The Ghost are meant to simulate a boxing match. This workout was originally programmed with a row, so as much as possible we should shoot to make our machine a row today. With an interval like this, the one minute of rest is not enough time to fully recover. Therefore, we should try to pace ourselves out the first round and establish baselines for each of the three stations. From there, we can try to improve slightly, but those baselines should represent a contract with ourselves that we don’t violate or go underneath.

QOD:
