Background: "Barbara," one of CrossFit's first six "Girls" WODs, was first posted (without a name) on the CrossFit Main Site as the workout of the day for Sunday, July 13, 2003 (030713). The original version allowed 5 minutes rest between sets. It wasn't until later that year (September 27 (030927)) that the workout appeared with the name "Barbara" and specified only 3 minutes rest between rounds-the standard used in future appearances of the workout.
