It was posted today. I think like 5pm EST.

Even thought I didn't plan on signing up, I'm still disappointed I can't go through all the WODs.

I'm looking forward to doing the Filthy Fifty though. Reminds me of the 12 Days of Christmas WOD. That one was a fun one.

Every week we've had a "benchmark" challenge that we had to do. This week it's called the "Filthy Fifty" and it's this:

50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders

I'll try it on Friday...hope I survive. Ugh!

I say skip it on Friday and try it on Monday! Register for the open ya big Panzy!!

Not looking forward to it. I suspect to see some vomit on Saturday Morning.

Again! Sign up! What do you have to lose. I think it'll be great to see just how much separates us from the very best. Not a sport I can think of where you can do that.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

I'm considering making a go for the Games in 2014. I want to give myself 2 solid years of training before I go make an ass out of myself.

Better get training! It seems that most of the top people don't have day jobs anymore. Nearly all of the top 15 from last year are affiliate owners or trainers. I think Josh Bridges is one of the few that doesn't own a box or coach. The government keeps him busy enough though.
