now Gary are you saying that the Central guys knew in advance the wods before they were released? because you know what they say about ASSuming something without having the facts.

Don't know why he would say one thing....like I'll release them one week out" and then change his mind without warning, and STILL delay the release today. But now that that's off my chest, it really doesn't matter if he releases them today or Saturday. You know what you can do, and that you can't do, probably won't change significantly in 3 days.

Even if it is what it is....it is still ridiculous and annoying. Yes, I'm being a brat, but c'mon, how hard is it to post them promptly for the people? Mental prep is huge!

Tucker - take your time. there are still 13 hours left in wednesday and since you never gave a specific time, im just going to keep millin' around all day and check ever-so-often to see if they are posted.

This is a sham! Double lock and key it all you want; however, one begs to question if 'some' people have an advantage somehow.
We wouldn't be looking for the WODs if we weren't told the WOD's were going to be posted 1) a week out or 2) on Wednesday, May 26th.
We are the only region experiencing this problem. It would be nice to know why. The unknown and unknowable is only beneficial if we know to expect that from the start. Dangling carrots doesn't help anyone's mental preparedness.
