Olyathlete

Coming up in the near future we will be attending the first Inaugural CrossFit / USA Weightlifting Open in Colorado Springs, Oct. 1-3.
This will be the first USAW and CrossFit event. There will be true Olympic Lifters as in Chad Vaughn and true CrossFiters as in Kristan Clever and Josh Everett. The field will be full of talent. We all know what is in store for the event, there won't be any mystery event or anything crazy.

A Couple weeks ago I was able to get Ursula and Chad to come down to Houston and and give our coaches some great training. I truly beliaeve it has helped our entire box. The coaches have a better understanding of the lifts and a few more Q's.



As for my personal training I have been following the Olyathlete programing http://olyathlete.com/. I have been on it for about a week and I feel great. My WOD's have been a mix of CF.com and or our WOD's at the Box. What I like about the Olyathlete programing is I'm actually training to better my Olympic lifts, and the most important thing, I'm having fun doing it.


Also training a few days of bike riding and running to get ready for the Half Ironman on Oct 17. Now I just need to get into the pool.
