Continued our visits to London CF boxes by going to the first European CF gym I ever visited, CrossFit London. As usual, an outstanding drill and skill day and probably the most thorough review of overhead squats and kipping drills that I’ve ever seen. The unusually sunny day for London drew us out to the Olympic Park after the WOD for a morning coffee and watching the swelling work crews as they prepared the final touches for the onslaught of athletes and fans. After work, in the evening hours London was run over by Italians celebrating their victory over Germany in the football semi-finals to the locals’ chagrin who got eliminated a round ago… Piccadilli Circus has never seen this many red, white and green flags…
