This weekend is‘Roodharigendag’ inTilburg, Netherlands. For more than a decade, it’s held the record of housing the largest number of natural redheads in one place.
We’re fortunate enough to have not one, but two natural redheads on our team. So, in the spirit of fiery and friendly competition, we did what any good amateur athlete does: We challenged ourselves to a WOD for time. And because this ain’t our first rodeo, we promised everyone who participated donuts at the end of it.
Sara Jester, AKA The Barbell Kitchen, and I met at the BUBS Naturals HQ in Leucadia on a sweltering summer day in July (you know, excellent weather for pasty, freckle-faced redheads) and went toe-to-toe on a little jammer for time.
The workout was:
"I Love Those Redheads, Man"
For time:
One of us came in at 3:58 and the other came in just behind at 4:07.
Our cameraman, J.D. and not a redhead, had so much fun watching us do it that he wanted in on the fitness, too. I hopped in for round two, still freaking heaving from the first WOD, and while I did not beat him, I definitely beat my first time by 42 seconds.
Afterward, we went inside where there is air conditioning, and we helped ourselves to donuts fromJD Flannel Donuts and Coffee, a Veteran owned business based out of San Juan Capistrano, CA. They’re good people, and their donuts are perfect for redheads and other good people.
Here arefive fun facts about redheads:
