Aug 5th, Crossfit Truckee, Truckee CA

Great day to visit some friends at Crossfit Blizzard in Truckee, CA (www.crossfitavalanche.com).  Blizzard is one of two associated gyms in the Tahoe Region, the other is Crossfit Avalanche in Tahoe City.  Both are awesome Crossfits; if you are in Tahoe they are a must visit! The change of weather was welcome, WOD temperature was 54 degrees this morning, vs 108 degrees at home when we left.  Jason Berger was our coach today.  I have competed against Jason a few times over the last several years, but this was the first time he was our coach.    We had a super warm up to get ready for the WOD, however not even the best warm up could get us ready for altitude.
WOD today was Jack - 20 min AMRAP.
10 Pushpress
10 Kettle Bell Swings
10 Box Jumps
Thanks to Jason for a great class and special thanks to Myles and Travis for accommodating our daughter to prep for her Olympic Lifting Competition this weekend.

Aug 4th, Crossfit Jibboom, Truckee, CA

This week I am on vacation with the family in Truckee, CA.  Skylar, Heidi, and I visited Crossfit Jibboom (www.crossfitjibboom.com.) for a WOD on Aug 4th.  The experience at Jibboom was fantastic.  My daughter (Skylar) needed to train for an upcoming Oly Meet and the Trainers were very accommodating  to let her snatch and clean while we did the WOD. Our coach was John Del Peral, aka "JDP.  Another of the coaches Crystal McReynolds, aka C-Rok trained with us.  The atmosphere was very welcoming and organized.
Today was a benchmark day.  We could either do Grace or Isabel to start and the finisher was a 1 mile run.  For a group of flat landers, training at 6000 ft is a real challenge.  I chose Isabell and Heidi chose Grace.  3:53 for me and 5:53 for Heidi.  Not gonna talk about the mile times but we finished before the day ended.
Really want to thank the folks at Jibboom for accommodating our special request and for a great time today.
