Today is rest day flying home from Brazil and a perfect time for reflection on programming. I tried all varieties of combining personal programming with WODs created by my coaches. The drop-ins also had me learn the same important lesson: no matter how hard we try, our own programming will always be biased towards things we like and against things we don’t.
I would have never programmed the all-snatch day for myself like they did at CF SP.
Or heavy endurance / lifting day combos some boxes in Europe like dishing out.
All in all the lesson is that to keep this game constantly varied the core WOD ought to be designed by someone else. Afterwards we can always add our own cashout of something we really love, or more likely at this stage: something we really fear.
And that’s one more thing that makes this sport so magical.
