Colorado

I've been in Boulder (and the surrounding areas) for the past couple of days. Tuesday I was a Level 2 Test Subject, meaning I volunteered to be trained by people taking the Level 2 test. I actually knew, or recognized, or knew of lots of the people who were there.

I met Tommy from CrossFit East Decatur (ala Shana Alverson). I sorta met E.C., who's last name I can't spell off the top of my head. After about half hour she turns to me and says "I think I owe you a congratulations, you just qualified, right?". That was pretty cool - I don't think she owes me anything, but it's nice to be recognized (not gonna lie).

After a total of 130 minutes of total movement, the majority of which was med ball cleans, front squats, and overhead squats, I was toast. I spent the afternoon trying to stay awake. I got talked into doing the Garage 4150 WOD which was 5x5 Push Jerk (yay...my favorite...not). I did PR by a solid 20 pounds! I got 115# for a 5 rep max, and I think I could get more.

Yesterday, after a morning of working on stuff for Bridger CrossFit, Mikey and I went out for a mountain bike ride. That's where this picture was taken. It was quite an ordeal to find a trail where dogs were allowed. For a liberal town, Boulder sure let's the horse people rule.

Then, I went to an olympic weightlifting session with Nicole and Eric. The session was held by a coach named Ryan. It was really good. We worked on cleans, snatch balance (I got 55kg for a double!) and also split jerks. He was a great coach and it was neat to have another perspective on the olympic lifts.

And, lastly, I saw that Shana posted in the comments, wondering where I have been! Sorry! I have just been forgetting...
