I had jambalaya for lunch today... anyone ever have jumbalaya? It was pretty good but I had it around 11:15 and was starving by 12:00. Anyway, nice way to end the week. The clusters were very fun / the funnest / more funner than anything else we have done this week (I did mean to say funner... it should be a word by now). Here are everyone's times so you can see how you stack up. Let me know if I got your weights wrong. Everyone did cleans except for Jack and Thomas (dead lifts @135) and I did power snatches @115. We seriously need to be looking for no-reps. I know you don't want to be a jerk but everyone needs be doing these things correctly and safely. Getting no-repped is part of getting better at this stuff.  Also, would have been nice to get our own boxes for the jumps. Anyway... this time for sure. 

Joy @ 45: 6:27 Nice job Joy. Your clean has really improved. Good luck in college!
Abbi Mac @ 75: 3:57
Benton @ 115: 3:58 I don't like loosing...
Powers @ 95: 4:34
Stanich @ 95: 5:04
Jack @ 135 DL: 4:08 
Hamza @ 95: 4:08 You owe us a few good box jumps... should have been no reps on a few
Bell @ 95: 4:23 
Taegan @ 45: 3:32 Did Taegan really beat all of us???
Arnold G @ 95: 4:38 
Hickey??? Anyone see Hickey? 

The highlight of the morning was without a doubt the "beat down" Taegan threw on Hamza at Cardinal Shooting. I have seen some pretty exciting things this summer, but all fall in comparison to the electrifying defeat of a cocky and mouthy Hamza. With the swishing of her slightly smaller basketball, the gym erupted in cries and cheers. We all stormed the court, frantically looking for someone to hug. Matt Powers cried tears of joy. Hamza, tears of agony. All the while Thomas Furlong performed cart-wheel after delicious cart-wheel upon  the very hardwood Hamza was mopped. When asked how she felt, Taegan responded with little to no inflection "... I don't know... Good I guess."  Yes Taegan. Good I guess indeed.
