120826 Mountain Biking

Active recovery day

Spent about 1 hr mountain biking in the Core Creek trails.

120825 Choose Your Girl

Pick one of the CF benchmark girls. When you come in to the gym, simply tell your coach which girl you’re going to take on, warmup, and get to work. This is your opportunity to pick your poison (or pleasure if you’re into that), and have no one to blame but yourself if you end up in a heaving pile of sweaty goo after your first “Barbara” or “Eva” (try that one, I dare you).
