It’s a bittersweet time. For the last month we have been enjoying the worldwide competition of the 2012 CrossFit Games Open. Every Friday at CrossFit Merge, we’ve all gathered and pondered on the best techniques to tackle each WOD. We’ve all shared in the burpees, push presses, box jumps, snatches, wall balls and oh so many more. We’ve all grown closer together because of it, we’ve all become better athletes because of it. As we approach the end of this awesome, competitive time, we all get to share in one more killer workout. Come join us this Friday at 6:30 pm for the last and final WOD of the 2012 CrossFit Games Open. And 12.5 is:
