Cross Fit competition

I began and ended my run on Saturday to the sound of grunts and groans. No, not mine. There was a day long Cross Fit couples challenge competition right there, next to my starting point on the trail.
Kettle bells were flying. Timers shouted out commands as the participants moved through the staions. Squats, dead lifts, kettle bells and cycles. They were timed and monitored. It looked extremely... well tortuous.
