Erida: The Goddess Hate

The wearisome goddess, Erida, or Hate, can best be invoked by reading the opening lines of Book 11 of The Iliad. After Dawn sheds her gentle light on mortals and immortals alike, Zeus sends Hate to the encampment of the Akhaians (Achaians). She stands on the centermost of the beached vessels and SCREAMS!!! The hearts of the soldiers are hardened as they awaken. They no longer remember their fathers or their wives and children. They rise from their beds with Hate ringing in their ears. In their hearts, they long for the sweetness of battle. Only blood will dispel the sanguine thrust of Hate.

Hate entered into the battle, small at first, but as she strode forward, she grew and grew, until her head reached the heavens. She cast down bitterness and vile hatred on both armies as she moved through the fighting. Sister and companion of the brutal war god, Ares, her wrath is unyielding (Iliad, book 4, line 440).

"Goat Day" ...

"Goat Day"

Goats are weaknesses, and you are only as fit as your weakest link. On "Goat Days" we create individual workouts for each athlete to improve their weakest link. The easiest way to decide what your goats are is to figure out what you would hate to see programmed in a competition. Think about two movements that give you trouble and we'll help you create a WOD. Most will be in the form of an "AMRAP 15"

For example, If you have trouble with Handstand Push ups and Double unders your WOD may be AMRAP 15 of: 4 HSPU and 12 Double Unders.

What are your goats?

AMRAP 15
10 Overhead Squats (95)
10 Double Unders

6 rounds.....with Ben no repping me on the OHS if I did not touch the ball at the bottom.
