The Saturday 9am Guts Poker was wild, even without regulars Marianne, John, Dave, and Jen. In no particular order, Mike R, Justine L, Eric B, Kathy K, Amy F, Rob J and Dave S threw in their dollars, and the game was on! When the smoke cleared, and the breathing subsided, Eric B (who claimed this was his last met-con of 2010) played a full house and walked away $7 dollars richer and a Paleo Kit healthier.

During the September 29th WOD, which consisted of seven dead lift singles, Marianne U set a PR with a deadlift of 200 lbs!
