THE GARAGE GAMES 2010
Glenn, AJ, Mookie, Steph, Rachel, Alexandra, Leslie, Becky...all doin' WORK this weekend. Wish 'em luck!
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Strength sessions prior to WODs are going to become more common. GET A NOTEBOOK AND START DOCUMENTING WODS, TIMES/SCORES, WEIGHT USED, ETC. This allows you to quickly thumb through your notebook and figure out what weight to use on these strength sets...if not, you're just guessing and that's lame-o.
Steve completed his CrossFit Level I Trainer Certification this weekend at CrossFit Charlotte. He'll be heading up some classes starting this week so now you guys will get to experience his "hope you have thick skin" style (back row, 7th from right).

He'll take you through the basics of the Zone Diet, how it works, why it works, and how to set it up to work for you. This class is FREE and open to the public, local affiliates, and of course all CFS athletes. Leave a message in the comments section if you are going to attend.

Huge thanks to all of you guys that showed up. Joel threw together some serious shrimp and sausage, Beth put me over the edge with the "One Eyed Green Monster Everclear Drink Thing", Alex cooked up some serious Puerto Rico deliciousness, and we all put together a pretty good AMRAP WOD for our livers. CF Greer rolled in deep and crushed the Deadlift/Burpee WOD, Big D from CF OKC hammered "Cindy", and Todd from Blue Ridge CF had a little fun with the heavy thrusters.
(Scores: Right to Left, Top to Bottom)
