It's possible that Sarah will be gaming at Regionals...even through all her desires to birth another radical child...keep an eye on her;)

5 Strikes Your're Out!

Please don't judge us if we're crude sometimes. It's all about comfort and trust. If we laugh when you screw up, or curse when we're frustrated, or spit when we're wodding- it's because we feel you're family. It is all out of comfort and trust of the people around us. Give us 5 strikes- Tell us when it bothers you, be transparent, be real, be truthful. We can take it like it is and we know we only grow with a little help from some criticism. They say you can tell a real friend when you let them know they suck, and things improve. Just do it with a little love and let us do the same;)

9am- "Share The Pain" 
Warm up: DYMO 

15 Minute AMRAP Team Row/Thruster
With a team of 2 to 4
*One Person Rows, Another person Thrusters- other teammate/s does burpees

*15 minute amrap- rotate teammates every 10 reps- any burpee done adds an extra rep to score. Add meters rowed + thrusters and burpees completed. Then divide by number of teammates= score. ie: 3 teammates/ 780 reps total divided by 3= 260.

Cold Stone Chillin

When we work our Crossfit Kids, they stay chilled out for days. This is one of our CF students after a WOD. Harding knew he was feeling tired after that Saturday, but he had no idea he would wake up so sore.

Warm Up: Coaches Choice

WOD
"Annie"
50,40,30,20,10
Double Unders
ABMAT Sit Ups

Finish:
Wait 5-10 minutes after the WOD and then time your 1 mile run. Practice your pose running or just stay forward the balls of your feet.

Mobility: Band work off the bar and trigger point

As you prepare for the competition WOD for Saturday, please keep in mind a good rest day with plenty of mobility work. A 20 minute AMRAP sucks no matter what it is, but throw in that combo and life is painful for at least half of it. Eat light, drink tea, sleep big and spark up in the morning. See you all soon.
