Crossfit North Atlanta Drop Big Clues about 14.1

Ever since Crossfit started the live announcements of the Open WODs I've gotten even more
enjoyment out of trying to guess/determine what the WODs will be by searching Facebook and Twitter for photos and hints of the site of each live announcement. There is some logic to this after all, equipment and an "arena" must set up ahead of time and it's only logical that each home gym and their members will be excited about the unveiling. So far this has led to plenty of pics regarding each setup and Crossfit North Atlanta did not disappoint today. They've posted quite few pics from before any set up started and all the way through final construction. Here's what we know:

An arena was constructed and nothing was inside that arena while it was built. Once the arena was complete, a small, two person rig was added to one side of the arena. The rig was very simple with one pull-up bar on each side. There was no J-hooks for squats or targets for wall balls, this rig will used for pull-ups, T2B or perhaps my favorite idea, burpee pull-ups. There is a small chance that wall balls could be a part of this but as of right now there are no targets on the rig. That would be an easy add at the last minute so don't totally rule them out.

Of course just knowing that the WOD will involve a rig doesn't tell us even close to the entire picture but it is pretty interesting considering that the none of 11.1, 12.1 or 13.1 used a rig at all. Perhaps 2014 will be quite a surprise form Dave Castro after all.

And yes, that's Mr Bob Harper, from the Biggest Loser, in the brown jacket. That guy loves him some Crossfit.
