AL/TN/MS Sectional WODs Announced
Final preparations are under way in Huntsville for the AL/TN/MS sectionals. With 82 athletes signed up so far from all over the Tri-State area, the competition promises to be fierce. So fierce, in fact, that we had to call in the Marines (as a sponsor for our third event "The Corps"). Also on the sponsor list is Chuck Rumbley of Hi-temp, who donated over 3000 pounds of bumper plates to the cause of finding the deep South's fittest men and women!
Here are the events these athletes will be tackling on Saturday. Sunday's event will be unveiled Saturday night:
WOD 1
3 Rounds for time of:
25m Down-and-Back sprint (50m total)
10 Burpees
7 Ground-to-shoulder - 155/105lbs

Kevin, did you steal Larry's shorts?

Just for you, Josh, I'm breaking out the short shorts for the competition!

Josh,
Those shorts have been handed down from generation to generation in the Lowe family. They have the power of making a slow runner just a tad bit less slow. Larry and I actually share the short shorts....they just look shorter on him because he is taller. It is going to be akward sharing the shorts this weekend...but I'm pretty sure we can both fit in there at the same time.

@ McGoldrick,
Couldn't be any happier. "The corps" is the best wod of all time, I think.

K. Lowe you should crush the 1st WOD. It is perfect for you. I think Forrest will do really well on the 2nd WOD. Tra and Richard M. should fair pretty good on the Run/PU WOD. We did the 3rd WOD today at ITF & the best time was Forrest w/ a 16:17 doing Chest 2 Bar. Is the PU's going to be C2B?

Nice work, we'll do WODs 1 & 2 Friday to see how we stack up. Other than the fact that high-rep wallballs spontaneously strip of my manhood I'll be looking forward to these. Good luck with your event!
