Hmmm... I'll have my daughter with me tomorrow night. 8 pm is past her bedtime -- can you put me in one of the early heats? Thanks!

The workout time for heats is between 8-9pm. Everyone will be finished by 9pm. I'm hoping everyone can stay for the hour to provide others for encouragement.

Felt the burn when doing BS after burpees. I was in the first heat so had close to an hour rest, but still. Glad our %'s today weren't higher.
