Sunday Painstorm

A few people will be doing a Painstorm Sunday morning at 8:30.  Come out and join in.

History of the Painstorm

The first Painstorm was a gathering of some of the UK CrossFitters.  Given that some of them traveled up to 6 hours (by bus) for the meeting, no one felt like doing "Fran" and calling it a day.  So the first Painstorm was something like warm up one round of Helen, followed by a typical CF WOD, followed by Secret Service Snatch test, and of course partying afterward.

The Painstorm soon evolved into a monthly competition between CrossFit London, CrossFit Central Scotland, some displaced US military, and the group from Brand X.  They take turns creating the Painstorms.  They tend to be long efforts (as you are well aware).  Weights and reps can always be scaled, so everyone can join in on the fun.
