TOO FAST...OCCASIONALLY TOO FURIOUS
Marty did awesome this weekend out at the Big Sur Marathon in California. She finished up 83rd overall (out of 1500 women) and 14th in her age group (out of 251). Word on the street is that she even pulled up and took some pictures throughout the marathon. It took her 3 hours and 46 seconds to crush 26.2 miles...thats only one minute off pace to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Solid WORK girl, see you later this week! (Check out her results HERE.)
Now here is where it gets a little ridiculous... I get a txt msg from my favorite cursing machine today with her picture beside a WOD results board. Evidently the marathon wasn't enough and she headed over to CF Monterey for a WOD today. Two words...Honey Badger.

PALEO CHALLENGE
Want a little extra cash for those new Nike kicks you've been checking out? Don't like paying the gym dues every month? Need to attract members of the opposite sex in order to procreate? Want to routinely dominate workouts? Want to recover from WODs faster? Dare I say it... Want to look good naked?
If you thought to yourself, "Self, yes...why, yes I WOULD like to buy a pair of overpriced Nikes, no I don't like paying dues, procreation is good, dominating workouts is almost as good as procreation, recovery means walking down stairs like a normal person, and nakedness is next to godliness", well then dadgumit sign on up for the Paleo Challenge. Winner takes the money pot and a free month at CFS. 2nd place pulls a little extra cash and a free month at CFS. Some random participant will take home a prize as well.
So here is your kick in the ass to dial your diet in. FEED THE BEAST...DO WORK...and don't mess with Honey Badgers.
If you want to participate here is your list of stuff to do before Saturday (For more details click HERE): 1. Take a "BEFORE" picture (NO, these will NOT be posted on the site or available for public viewing) 2. Find your score on the 2 performance criteria: "Nicole" and 1RM Deadlift 3. Record your bodyweight, waist size, and body fat %. 4. Start a food log. 5. Place $20 in the shoe box marked "CFS Paleo Challenge". Make sure you write your name on the lid so that we know that your in it to win it.

TIGER IN A TANK
CF Spartanburg Workout of the Day (WOD) - FRIDAY:
Team WOD Teams are composed of 2 athletes. Only 1 athlete is working at a time. Athlete #1 starts on the pull up bar while athlete #2 locks a plate (M-45#/F-35#) overhead. For every 5 pull ups #1 completes, #2 can take 1 lunge step...this continues until #2 covers 30ft. If the plate is dropped, #2 must complete 5 push ups before the team can continue. Once 30ft is covered, the athletes switch roles in order to cover an additional 30ft. When the second 30ft is completed, #1 must knock out 10 burpees in order for #2 to start a 15ft rope climb...this is repeated until 3 rope climbs are completed. The athletes then switch roles and repeat.
