February's Paleo Challenge winner, Connie, overhead squats her bike during this year's RAGBRAI!

It's HERE, Warriors! The day you've all been looking forward to since the last 30-Day Paleo Challenge ended - the start day of Paleo Challenge 2.0!!! We hope you reviewed the rules, downloaded your scoresheet, and set reminders for turning in your scoresheet. The first one is due by 11:59 PM this Saturday, August 4. NO LATE SCORESHEETS WILL BE ACCEPTED. NO EXCEPTIONS (well, maybe if you have a legit 911-level emergency). Good luck, and Godspeed, Warriors.

Below is a potpourri of links we've been posting on our Facebook/Twitter feeds:

• Attention Warrior Women: How many of you know of the Quad-Cities Women's Outdoor Club? They have so much fun stuff going on!
• The Olympics are amazing, especially when I see people weighing so little (105 lbs or less) clean and jerking SO MUCH WEIGHT with so little effort - perfection!
• This lengthy article chronicling the history of sports drink research and marketing is a very interesting read with a lot of great info on what we do (and don't) know about hydration and athletic performance.
• The Festivus Games are this Saturday, and here are the WODs Coach Sarah and Warriors Sara and Kelli will be completing.
