The team did not quite finish in the 12 minute workout, but nearly did. Fewer teams are finishing than not.

When I get any standings, I will pass them along.

Catching up?

2010-07-16T10:39:00.000-07:00

Thrusters are slow, but the pullups and carry seems faster.

Tenth to the pullups

2010-07-16T10:34:00.000-07:00

Team is ready

2010-07-16T10:25:00.001-07:00

It is hot and muggy but the clouds keep coming in and threatening to be overcast - which would cool things down.

The team is in the warm up area and are coming out in just a few minutes.

First event details (thanks Trevor)

2010-07-16T09:39:00.001-07:00

looks like the 1st event is 2 rounds of 70 thrusters (105/155), 50 pullups, carry your buddy? is that correct? 155 is nuts!

Location of the first event.

2010-07-16T09:31:00.001-07:00

It is hot here, this is going to be a factor.

10:30 pacific time is CRCF first event.

2010-07-16T09:27:00.000-07:00

I can't find a white board, but it involves thrusters and a buddy carry.

This place is crazy.

In processing into the army took less time.

2010-07-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

I hope the gate people get more efficient... This could become a major mess.

Here...we...GO!

2010-07-16T08:57:00.000-07:00

At the entrance. This place is huge.
