27.3


     I cannot explain how glad I am that they are releasing the Regional Events this way. I bet that the athletes in Europe, the North East, the South East and SoCal are even more excited than I am (no one is more excited than I am).
     The WODs this week...and some next week...are data points...or learning tools. They will point out places that need improvement. Do not be nervous about them, or disappointed with the outcome. Embrace them. Regionals do not start tomorrow...or next week...or the week after. Your finish on these WODs is to be used as a learning opportunity... a stepping staone, and nothing more. Be diligent about keeping track of how you do these, look for ways to improve your performance. These WODs are Knowable.
     With that said...If you KNOW that 100 pull ups are going to wreck your grip or rhabdo your arms...scale the WOD. This is training. If you rip now, your training WILL suffer. Recovery is going to be HUGE during the next few weeks. Take proper precautions to recover from these WODs. After the WOD today, ice your Cubital Fossa.
  On call tonight, so that's all you get...

  3. So no one else is trying to wrap their head around the logistics of G.I. Joe and Ken being able to have a baby together?

    What's that now...Oh. So it is just me.

    Awesome.
