This is a For Time, so it is up to you to manage and organize your time to achieve the best possible time.
The origin of 'Deligiannis'
Many crossfit WODs are named after missing persons. This one as well, although it was not named after a military officer or a firefighter who did something heroic. The 'Deligiannis' is named after Kirk Deligiannis, one of the founders of an association that was facing challenges in raising funds.
On September 25th, 2016, after completing the SEALFIT Kokoro, a challenge of about 50 hours, Kirk lost his life. To pay tribute to him, his relatives created a WOD that corresponded to him, both brutal and very long.
