CrossFit Blizzard, December 26, 2015

Traveled with family and friends to Truckee, CA for the Christmas Holidays.   Along with Skiing, skating, and  fire pits, the vacation would not be complete without at least one WOD.  While in Truckee, we visited CrossFit Blizzard (www.crossfitavalanche.com).  Our coach for today's WOD was Kelly Edelmann.  We have know Kelly for several years. During the 2015 CrossFit Open, she came to Oroville CrossFit to complete a couple of the Open WOD's at low elevation.  Kelly finished 14th at the CrossFit Games in the Master's Division!
WOD for today was heavy:
4 Rounds with 4 minutes at each movement for today Reps.
Deadlifts - (315/225)
Muscle Ups
Burpees
KB Swings (70/53)
If you have never trained at higher elevation it is challenging.  Truckee is at 5820 ft.
Special thanks to Kelly for a great warm up, want to wish her the best of luck at TJ's Master's Comp in January and the 2016 Open.

WODtoberfest - CrossFit Chico - Oct 24th, 2015

On October 24th, fellow Master's athlete, Oroville CrossFit Co-Owner, and sponsored Vitargo Athlete (Chris Poblano) competed with me at CrossFit Chico's WODtoberfest 2015. (www.crossfit-chico.com) This was my first tough event after having heart surgery in June.  I was quite anxious to see how the ticker would hold up.
Owner Whitney Wolff puts on a great event.  This year she surprised us by adding a Spartan Obstacle  Course.  In addition, there were three other events that really tested our strength and stamina.
After leading most of the day. the Vitargo (www.vitargo.com) kicked in and Chris crushed that last event, pulling out the win, leaving me in 2nd place.
All in all we had a great day.  Thanks to Whitney for a great event and to all the OXF family that came by to cheer Chris and I on.

  

Dynamic Duo Partner Comp - Level 10 CrossFit - Sept 26, 2015

On Sept 25, 2015 I competed at the Level 10 CrossFit - Dynamic Duo Partner Competition.  (www.level10crossfit.com/).  Although I have competed in a lot of CrossFit events over the years, this one was special.  It was the first time I able to complete with Taylor my daughter.
Santos Reyes, the owner of Level 10, programmed 3 WODs and 1 floater.  Each was fun, yet challenging.  We did not win, but I could not be more proud of our finish.  Truly a blessing to have shared this with my daughter.

Happy to be done!



CrossFit Healdsburg, Healdsburg, CA. - Dec 12, 2015

On Dec 12, we made our yearly trip to the Wine Country.  This trip is never complete without a Saturday morning WOD.  This year we again stopped by CrossFit Healdsburg, (www.crossfithealdsburg.com)  Sean Jones is the owner and coached our class.  This visit was a little special as Sean was putting on "Reps for Food" to collect donations for the local food bank.
What better way to pile up a bunch of Reps than for a Fight Gone Bad type of workout.
5 movements - row, box jumps, push press, KB swings, and slams.
45 sec of work, 15 sec transition. 3 rounds.
Thanks Sean for accommodating our visit and fitting us in with the group.  If you get to Sonoma, make sure to stop by and work off some of that wine.
