FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS WAS AMAZING! More than 150 Diablo members have registered for the Open. That’s 25% more than February. And Friday night lights was crazy. Thank you to everyone who came, did the workout, helped with set-up and take-down and especially judges! We could not have finished by 8 without all of the amazing judges.
Check out some of the pics:
And did you see Stephen’s cool 20.1 video?

CRAIG’S LIST (stuff I’m reading or listening to)
I got to spend the day at CrossFit HQ today listening to an amazing group of presenters on the subjects of Ketogenic Diet, the influence of the sugar lobby, and the Monsanto Herbacide Story. I’ll publish a summary of the presentations later this week. However, here are some links to their impressive work:
