The Moment You've Have Been Waiting For...

First, I'd like to apologize for the hang cleans and push presses yesterday. Whoops!


This final workout brings the 2013 Open to a close. Good times, you guys showed a lot of heart and plenty of physical and mental strength. We've got one more WOD to hit.

This week's Throwdown will occur at our CrossFit SLU facility beginning at 5pm. Pizza and beer after.

Onward to more!

For those who like the reminders, I present the following.

Here's the deal: trust your training. By now, you've got what you've got and you'll do how you were always meant to do. I know that sometimes we get excited by seeing all these cool strategies pop up, but if you haven't practiced those particulars, you probably won't have it come Go Time.

Trust your training.

That said, enjoy!
