Awesome! So what grip did you use?

[ShannanD]

Stroup, next meet is USAPL GA open in November. S-L-O-W progression until then, big gains to go! You doing the equivalent in SC?

Amy, only thing I did was switch grip to right hand under. It feels really weird, but flet back. Jason also said yesterday he thinks the curve starts in my lumbar spine. I guess he now has big plans for my spinal erectors.

Drinks, soon?!

[ShannanD]

How'd the transplant go?

Brutal case, I got to bed around 2am. Patient is going great this morning! Definitely worth any/all sleep lost.

what is it that you do? obviously I can tell that hospitals, people and organs are involved and it sounds fascinating.
