Festivus Games all day. Good luck to all the athletes competing. Doors open at 8am, workout 1 briefing at 0830 and 1st heat at 0900.
NO CLASSES TODAY. Back to regular hours Sunday.
If you’re not competing, we’ll need some help with judging, score keeping and moving the equipment so if you’re free, don’t hesitate to come over.
Festivus Games is tomorrow!!
For all the athletes competing, take it easy today. It doesn’t mean to do absolutely nothing. By all means, come to the gym, use the rowers, the air bike, set yourself up on the side, do your things. You could go through the wod but keep it light. Moving around is good, active recovery style. Also, rolling and stretching is a good idea, just saying.
The Battle Royale is Sunday October 22nd (35 combatants in so far, only one champion). Not sure you guys realized how awesome that’s going to be!
