Coach's Notes. (Holiday hours -- warm up / set up when the Bubble opens at 0800 and shoot for "3, 2, 1...Go" at ~0830)

Main WOD.  "The Seven" is a Hero WOD created in honor of seven CIA officers that lost their lives in a suicide bomber attack at a remote base in southeastern Afghanistan on December 30, 2009.

Scale the weight of Thrusters and DL if the prescribed load is more than 65-70% of your 1RM. Remember this is 49 reps at what should be a medium weight.  Trainers can assist in scaling HSPU or Pull-ups.

To save equipment with a big group, athletes can start at different exercises or in heats. Depending on the size of the group, space out with multiple stations between athletes to prevent bottlenecks.

Optional Strength/Skill work.  We have OHS later this week. Practice just enough to be confident and familiar. Heavy enough to push yourself.
