Hell Week, Pre-TI edition

O HOORAY! It's that time again!

HELL WEEK

Two weeks until our season ender in San Francisco. Let's end it on a high note! We've experienced a resurgence of participation through the Weekly Boosts, and near-full team participation in Land and Core workouts following practice.  Ride this momentum and don't let your hard work to waste.  Use this week to continue to BUILD. Do your Boosts and your Hell Week assignments.  Monday is a federal holiday.  But it's not a Space Dragons holiday! Hell Week is a FULL WEEK.

Always warm-up.  No injuries!

You know the drill - these are in addition to, and not a replacement for, your normal weekly off-water workouts.  And then post on Spacebook to let us know you've done it!
