Don’t by fooled by all of the rain this evening…temps are supposed to reach 93 degrees by 1pm tomorrow! Make sure you drink plenty of water tonight, and have a plan for hydration tomorrow. Many of you have asked me about how you should prepare for tomorrow, or have expressed concern with what to eat or drink prior to the workout. My honest opinion would be that it is NOT ideal to try something new or experiment with any new food or drink before tomorrow. Just do what you would normally do prior to working out, but come prepared with “just in case” items…extra water, maybe a snack for during or after, or some cash to run over to 7-11 for whatever else you might need! Tonight and tomorrow is not the time to try and do anything that your body is not used to! I will be at the gym tomorrow by 830 so yall can start shortly after! Like I said, show and go style! Warm up on your own, map out a course if you want, and kick it! Remember, even though we talk about how hard and miserable workouts like this may be, it is still a hero workout, and it represents an individual who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country. That is predominantly what this workout is for tomorrow. Come into it with a positive attitude, and challenge yourself to do something you have never done before! 

Flashback Friday!
Today is a more low key day at the gym, and of course there is a method to that madness. Consider it the calm before the Saturday storm! Tomorrow (Saturday) we are throwing down the hero WOD “Clovis”. Last year we did it per Michael Horner‘s request, and this year I offered to do it again as a belated birthday workout/re-test! There was a great turnout last year, and even though it looks daunting, there will be plenty of scaling options! I am planning on showing up to the gym a bit earlier in the morning if anyone wants to get started before the outside temps get too hot! The class times will blend together, and you can plan on showing up, warming up on your own, and starting your workout on your own accord. If you have a GPS device, you can map your own run courses, if not, I would advise using our 1 mile course as it will allow you to stay close to the gym if you need to pit stop. Wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water for yourself. The earliest start time for people can be 845am, but I do not want anyone to start any later than 1045am! Of course, every party has a pooper, so if you would rather come and treat the morning as open gym and do something different, I will allow that too! I am planning on everyone being finished by 1245pm or 1pm at the latest.
