A few items of note:

* Our new T-shirts have arrived.  These are higher quality soft cotton shirts with 2 new designs.  They will be priced at $28.75 + tax, which still comes in under $30 all told.  We are going to be trying out a new system where you can order merchandise online and charge it to your account and pick it up at the gym.  We will get a few samples out for you to try on as well.  We’ll send out an email once this system is ready to go.

* We have a price for our gymnastics workshop.  Each person must pay a $20 fee to the MGA to for insurance and we expect that if we get 10 people the use of the facilities and coaching will cost another $30 so we are looking at about $50 per person for several hours of coaching and use of equipment.  I believe the $20 fee is yearly as well so if you do any more workshops in the future, they will be cheaper.  We should have the online registration set for this event by Thursday or Friday at the latest.  Also, if you have any special requests for material you want to cover, post to comments.

    LOL – they do disappear with time!

    23:30 – double unders really did me in today, had trouble stringing more than 2 or 3 together. Did OHS at 50#, 35#, 25#

    I got my butt whipped today…literally..my poor legs!! :(

    Took it easy on the OHS b/c of my hip flexor..DU’s were terrible-the most I could string together was 15 in the first round…it all went downhill from there…I tried not to get too frustrated and keep my focus(easier said then done)…

    I hear you – my hands are bruised from the rope. I had the same experience, I could hardly string 2 or 3 together and then the last 10 would come but I had to get to 30 first!

    I actually had a pretty good DU day. I tried doing 30 and then 10 but I actually felt stronger breaking them up in 20s. OHS was 80#, 60# and 45#. Wrists pretty sore after this.

    Brendan gave me a good taping tip, so can’t wait to try that next time.

    Well in case I haven’t mentioned this before…hahaha…- I LOVE TO SQUAT!

    I’ve considered a license plate that says LV2SQT…

    16:20 RX’d

    I must note that I gave myself one small advantage – without realizing – I had a second bar pre loaded for round 2…BUT round 3 I reset the bar during the wod…so my time would have been slightly longer. Regardless…I was just very happy to RX this puppy!
