To help athletes prepare for the open, we will be holding a mobility session from 5:30-6:30 pm on Thursday evenings at the gym! You can either work though the recovery WOD posted for the week or participate in a guided mobility session. This is a great opportunity to do some recovery work, especially if you are competing on Friday. The first session will happen this Thursday, 2/22. Even if you are not competing in the open, feel free to join!
