TAKE YOUR REST DAY!!!
I know you all are excited to test out the newly announced events, but give yourself a day to recover and approach them with a plan. This weekend will be an opportunity to simulate several of the events – at least partial versions of the events. It will be important that you are rested, that you prepare the exact foods you plan to eat over the course of the regionals weekend, and that you warm-up exactly how you will warm-up for the events at regionals.
A.
Mobility and Maintenance
* Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

Mental Restoration
* Different for everyone – could be meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.
