We've mentioned that we're doing a special WOD on May 28th (Memorial Day).  We will be spilling some blood, sweat and maybe a few tears to honor Michael Murphy and all of the other Service men and women who have given their lives for our country. Please follow the link below to sign-up (and get a sweet Forged t-shirt!) or you can donate on the day we do the workout.

Here are the results of both the regular class and intermediate classes.  Just noting that the regular class was not very well attended.  Come on now, don't be that way.  If Wednesday wasn't a rest day, you should've done it. You missed out on some good times.  Well maybe not, but still....

Gotta give some shout outs to folks who kicked butt.  Renee, the birthday girl, rolled her ankle and kept on going.  Happy Birthday, Renee! You are an inspiration to us all! Kyla did burpee pull ups, not a 6 inch jump but didn't have to go to a band.  Yayahh! Allison Kern did them all Rxed.  Pretty cool that we have four Kern family members working out at STCF.

Brandon had the fastest time for the day for someone doing real burpee pull ups.  He didn't get caught up with Rx by having to jump a higher bar.  He knew that it would still be a great workout.  That's good thinking. Rx isn't always best-even for beasts! Cory crushed it Rx. And both Bobby, and Tim.  Please help cheer for Tim every chance you get. He gets to compete in the games down in Carson in July, and a little nervous about it.   Also FYI, Friday is his birthday.  I'm not saying what age he is, but I hope I'm in half as good of shape as he is when many moons from now I get to be his age.

And nice job by Chris for doing his burpee pull ups to the highest possible bar.  No easy task! Especially knowing he has to spar MMA later in the eve.  He has an upcoming fight in July.  Good luck!

Nice job by intermediate Wodders on getting a taste of Fight Gone Bad.  Way to push yourselves!
