Are Wet Wipes Wrecking the Worlds Sewers? from The Atlantic.  Actions have consequences.  Even wiping your nether regions so they feel nice and fresh has unforeseen results.  Like making a man made meteorite of poo, # buy wipes and whatever else globs together, floating around our sewers like a fecal Death Star.  What is one to do?  Go back to John Wayne TP?  The kind that’s rough, tough and doesn’t take $#!? off anybody?  Is there a better, more biodegradable wipe?

Similar to week to last week – Milo on Monday, medical Hand stand work on Tuesday, a heavy Clean workout on Wednesday (similar to Friday’s OTM work), and Push/Pull OTM on Thursday.

Every Second Counts, buy the documentary about the 2008 CrossFit Games is on Netflix.This was the second iteration of the CrossFit Games.  I had just moved to California the month before, and I wanted to do it, but like a dummy, I didn’t.  As a CrossFitter, we didn’t really recognize CrossFit the training methodology as a sport.  I’m not sure the people involved int he Games at the time did.  They knew they had interesting people, and the event itself lent to some drama. As far as the Games itself, no one knew what to expect.  The events were not announced and there wasn’t a slew of past Games events to draw on.  Dave Castro and his crew used 4 sprint events, all timed together, to determine the fittest person on earth.  Even then, I think they did a pretty good job and got it right.
