THE SHOPstacle course 7.17.10

extreme heat, exhaustion, austere movements, and the inconvenience of it all being topped off with a 20lb vest...

LOCAL TALENT - 7.12.10 / OLY PICS - 7.5.10

the ability to push thru pain is something i'm obviously still working on and today's first section of swings and burpees was definitely good practice.
...finding mentors within your training partners, local community, and cyberspace is a wise place to start. it seems as though there are many knowledgable groups or individuals out there if one has the desire to learn..

FACE PLANT - 7.8.10

still working the clean. very inconsistent. this was my second time doing this set of work and i was considerably slower this time around. not the best day i've ever had but i think it's important to document the failures right along with the successes.

FOUR TIME(S) 7.4.10

we all have our strengths and weaknesses but ignoring the later by spending our time in comfortable waters will eventually catch up to us. our weaknesses may never become our strengths but it's up to us to decide how vulnerable we allow ourselves to be. what casualty level are you willing to accept?
