Tribe Wars Rescheduled to Sun. Aug 23rd .

80% chance of heavy downpours and severe thunderstorms today. Doesn't make it for a nice day at the park, especially when it involves carrying 45 lbs steel bars overhead:>(

Be prepared to Bring the Glory next Sunday at same time and place. See ya then!

DETAILS!

Please view the side bar to view the Tribes... and be aware of the following:

1. Here's where we'll need you to be at 12p if you are participating. The event itself will begin at 1 and will run to about 5p. The address you'll be heading to is searchable by finding The William G. Rorher Playground at Cooper River Park. The track is right next door.

2. We'll be providing burgers and dogs and as much water as we can get...but please bring your own water and if you can - something to drink or eat in addition to what we'll have. Ideas would be - desserts, fruit, jello molds, whole antelope (dead or alive), and an irregularly large summer squash. Nothing crazy... :) just anything that's edible works for the day of!

3. After the judged event begins there will be a) FOOD, b) a second workout for those who'd like to try it (see below), and c) Ultimate Frisbee! So we hope you'll stick around!

4. We are aware that it might be rain... no matter what we'll still do the WOD (unless there is lightning in which case we'll fix the WOD so you don't get electrocuted)... We'll make it work, people!

5. Please direct any questions or comments to erinleedavidson@gmail.com or simply comment below so that others can see the answers!
