Veteran's Day

VETERAN’S DAY

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

We recognize this holiday today (although technically the 11th is Saturday). But today, tomorrow or ANY day…let’s recognize all American servicemen and servicewomen and especially thank our MANY Cove athletes who have served (and are currently serving) this country. We are forever grateful for what you do.

BURPEES FOR BROS!

We are just a few days away for our big fundraiser, BURPEES FOR BROS!

In an effort to help in the battle against prostate and testicular cancer we are going to be doing a “Burpees for Bros” event at the Cove on Saturday November 12th and 11 AM. It is an hour of burpees in an effort to raise money for the Movember Foundation. If you are interested in participating you can sign up for the event on the Movember team web site (moteam.co/burpeesforbros). If you have not received sponsors, you can still come and participate — we just ask that you make a small personal donation (there is no amount too small!).

Here is a link to our Facebook event page at the Cove HERE

Let’s make burpees fun AND meaningful.

PARTNER WOD

8 Deadlifts ____ Double Unders 10/7 Cals on Assault Bike 16 Rounds Fitness: 185/125 (80 Singles) Performance: 205/135 (40 Doubles) Open: 245/165 (50 Doubles) Coach’s Tip: This is a fun partner workout that is a sprint/rest format and should move fast. The assault bike should be an all out sprint. The doubles and deads should take a little longer, but still 30-60 seconds. Focus on good form and core positioning for the deads!

Welcome our newest Covie! Congrats to Jesse and Elizabeth S. on welcoming the adorable Ziggy Francis to the world!
