So I wish I could tell you about all the amazing PR's from yesterday, because it was single rep max day for the Push Jerk. Want to know why I CAN'T tell you who set new PR's? Because I'm dumb and forgot to take a picture of the whiteboard. There are two things about yesterday that I know for sure:
1. Stacy set a new PR, and jerked 70kg's!
2. I tried to jerk as much as Stacy and hit myself in the chin with 70kg's.
Oops. Sorry guys. How about this...if you set a new single rep max yesterday post to the comments, and we'll all give you a big internet high-five. Sound like a good plan?
We had some visitors yesterday morning. Kathy Slowinski and Jessica Hellyer stopped in for a visit! For those of you who don't remember, Kathy placed first at our sectionals (because she's a super star), and Jessica qualified at Regionals for the Games! Needless to say, it was a pleasure having them join us for a WOD.
The WOD was ring dips and pull-ups, and it left everyone feeling the burn. When I saw the evening classes finishing their workout, they all looked like they had some SEXY arms and shoulders!
I wish all of you could have the opportunity to see what we coaches see every day. With the help of our spiffy new camera, I have been trying to capture through the lens what I see every day....what makes my job the best job in the world. Here is one of my new favorite pictures:
Know what I see? Well, yes, Zach has his shirt off, but that's not the POINT! FOCUS! I see two people with completely different levels of conditioning giving it 100% of everything THEY HAVE. Dad is more than twice as old as Zach, and yet there they are working out together. Isn't that a beautiful thing?

I totally would have set a new PR! If I could've made it in. Really. I think... maybe... honest.
