Meet the team: Seth "Leonidas" Ching

"Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul."

-Democritus

Above: There were cavemen, and then there was Seth "Leonidas" Ching!  Who do you want to re-evolve into? I'd choose the latter.  What can I say that you don't already know about this firebreather? Seth first started CrossFitting in February when 808 opened, since then he has been setting times for the box day in and day out!  Not only does he thrive when the going gets tough, but I think he actually enjoys it.  Seth is another one of my training partners and leading up the Games he was my rabbit, especially during body weight movement WODs.  It is going to be awesome to see this guy in action come Sunday!  Its his first CrossFit competition and I know he's pumped! 

Today's WOD:
"2011 CrossFit Games Regional WOD"
For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 KB Swings (53/35 lbs.)
100 Double-Unders
100 Overhead Squats (95/65 lbs.)

Don't miss Hawaii's first Box Throwdown--this SUNDAY, October 2nd at 10am!
