WHAT'S UP WITH TAL
CFS, I'm heading back to Afghanistan. Blam, how's that for getting right to the point? First things first, CROSSFIT SPARTANBURG ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE...EVER...if we can deadlift when we are 90, we will. Joel, Steve, Matt A, Steph, and Nicole have stepped up and agreed to handle classes while I am gone. They are all awesome trainers and can take you just as far (if not further) than I can with respect to your quest to become a human honey badger. No, their hair isn't as flowing and sexy as mine (which I am getting to keep, more on that later) but they'll be able to take you and CFS where it needs to go. More important than that is the fact that every athlete at CFS makes this gym what it is and you always have. Its your gym...your equipment...your facility...your people. I mean really, you pay for it...all I do is transfer the money to pay the rent and keep the water/lights on. If you want the gym to keep doing its thing, it will. Keep working hard, keep pushing each other, keep hanging out, keep drinking beer after WODs, keep throwing parties and events. You guys are some of the best friends I have and I couldn't feel more comfortable leaving the gym in your hands. Do work! Now, more on my favorite topic...me. For the next 2 weeks I'll be finishing pre-mobilization training with Fluor in Greenville so I won't be able to be there for every class (after that things will be back to normal for a little while). I don't know exactly when I will be leaving, but it will probably be sometime in November (lets hope later). I should be able to come home every now and then throughout the year long tour so keep some Stag on ice at all times. This time over I will be a civilian and thus do not have to cut my beautiful long locks of power and manliness. I hope you guys understand that this is an opportunity that I just couldn't pass up. If you have any questions or concerns please grab me in the gym, call (410-271-5910) or email (Talmadge.D.Young@gmail.com) me. OK...Serious the serious face is shut off. Nate, I figured you would like this picture from my last tour over there...how good is your botany?
Love, Tal

KELLY'S BIGGEST LOSER 5K
Kelly tackled the Biggest Loser 5k down in Myrtle Beach this morning and did awesome...it was a 5k PR for her! Kelly was one of the first CrossFit Spartanburg athletes back in the early days of CFS. Over the past few months she has really dialed in her Paleo/Zone diet and she's losing lbs and sizes like its going out of style. We're all proud of you girl!

FIGHT GONE BAD 5
Awesome event this weekend! We had 70 athletes tackle Fight Gone Bad...6 different affiliates (EdgeFit, CF Greer, CF Brevard, CF Reaction, CFS, and CF Integrity) from 2 different states...too many spectators to count...a helicopter...and raised nearly $2,000.
I want to especially thank the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Color Guard for their outstanding professionalism and the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department for the insane helicopter flyover to set the event off right.
