Sunday CFers: Badger








Sorry no pics of the AM group....word, or course, is that you blew it out!

3 rds.: 30 Squat Cleans, 30 PullUps, 800m Run




Several shout-outs today: To everyone who pulled through ripped up hands (is that a theme for the entire week?). To Chris for kranking 26 miles....and to Gretch for swimming 1 mile at the Steelman Triathlon for the IM ABLE team (on little to no swim training)! Which harkens a classic Coach G quote, "We do your stuff nearly as well as you do, you can't do ours very well at all, and we do everything that we both don't do much better than you can. Not very humble, I know, but true." Be a better, truer athlete!

Tomorrow: McGhee (530A, 930A, 530P)
