UPDATE:
Information for this upcoming event on Saturday January 5th:

The WOD: Partner WOD
10 minute AMRAP
10 Thrusters
6 Burpees
10 Kettlebell Swings
Only one partner will be moving at a time and cannot advance to the next movement until both partners have completed the movement. For example Partner A does their 10 Thrusters then partner B does their 10 thruster, then they move on. It does not matter who does the movement first so if partner A starts the thrusters it does not mean they need to start for the burpees.

Thrusters= 95 pounds for men/ 65 pounds for women
Burpees= Chest must make contact with the floor and the way down and feet must leave the ground at top position with hands above head

Burpees= Same as RX
Kettlebell swings= 35 for men/ 26 for women

The books will be distributed to libraries, schools, child care facilities and community centers that were damaged during Hurricane Sandy. The books can be new or gently used. The book drive is in honor of "Dawn Hochsprung", the principal who lost her life during the Sandy Hook shootings protecting her school children.
