Your hands are not the only thing that need “TLC”
You may take really good care of your hands, but that’s no guarantee that you won’t end up with ripped calluses. Rips on your hands can make a WOD quite a miserable experience, especially if it calls for pull-ups or a decent grip on your barbell. Torn up hands can be painful and annoying, and may even affect your WOD finish times: just ask “Spidey”! (a.k.a. Sean F) Here is a video from CrossFit LA that will teach you how to tape your hands in order to effectively cover up your wounds.

What the hell happened to those feet?!!!! that has to hurt like a mofo
I believe those are Rob Mackay’s feet. Ask him!
The pic of the foot looks beyond painful!
The foot pic is a shot from the ‘Marathon des Sable’ that Rob ran in 2005, it’s not his foot but another competitor. I believe it was taken on day 2 or 3 (7 day, 250km race) and the guy pushed through to the finish.
We’ll have to to a slide show at the gym, we’ve got a ton of beat up feet shots ; )
I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth…. Can’t believe he finished and didn’t get some sort of a horrible staphylococcus infection!
If that’s day 2 or 3 I’m wondering what day 7 looked like.
