SAND IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
We've got a few houses lined up down in Myrtle Beach (Ocean Lakes) for a little weekend getaway. We'll be leaving on August 14th (Friday) and heading back the 16th (Sunday). If you can make it, please confirm with me NO LATER THAN August 4th (Wednesday) so that we can figure out who is staying where and all that other logistical garbage. Give me a call/shoot me an email/hit me up at the gym if you have any questions. Bikini Beach Party 2010...DO WORK! UPDATE: A Beach WOD with CrossFit Myrtle Beach is in the works for Saturday morning.

EATIN' SNAKES
CF Spartanburg Workout of the Day (WOD) - WEDNESDAY:
Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3 Work up to 3RM Compare results to "CHARMIN ULTRA SOFT"
21-15-9 Row (Calories) Dumbell Thrusters (M-2 x 50# DBs/F-2 x 30# DBs)
There was a ton of cool shit going down at the gym today. Here's a recap: - Glenn's birthday is today (he's 20 something, but we did 41 burpees just to make sure we got 'em all). - Alex figured out her double unders and knocked out 15 in a row. - More than a couple of people (Nila, Graham, Austin, Roland, Joel, Watson, Glenn...if there are more of ya'll out there, post in the comments section) all came within 10# of their original Front Squat 1RM PR and/or matched their original 1RM PR. - Austin and Alonso went to war on the 21-15-9 WOD at the end of the 7PM class and put on a show...probably one of the best WODs I have watched in a while...competition brings out the Honey Badger in some people and those two monsters ate some snakes on that one (check out their times).

"A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into an exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5000m race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself." -Steve Prefontaine

Check it out, experiment on your own (or with a friend), buy some overpriced tape, and continue doing work SON.
