Fittest Games Austin TX

225 Bear Complex

This past weekend I competed in the Fittest Games in Austin. It was put on by CrossFit Central. They did an amazing job running an Elite Male/Female, Elite Men 40+, Intermediate Men/Women, Intermediate Men/Women 40+, and Team.
There was structure and control through all the WOD's. It was a great event.
For some video coverage SICFIT.

As for me, I ended up 4th. Not bad, its actually where I wanted to be. Coming off the Marathon, I was not sure if it would hurt me for the comp. I feel like it did not have a big impact on the comp. Of course I would of rather been working out and lifting, then resting for and after the Marathon. Now I feel better about where I'm at. For y'all that don't know I did not finish very well at ACO (All City's Open Comp). I hurt my back a little, and was not able to truly place myself in the Texas Competition field.

Now all that is in the Past, so I can focus on the present to do what I can to better myself.

In other news I have my first endorsement, 2POOD. I was able to meet Baker (one of the owners) this past weekend, they are a stand up group. I look forward to work with them.

The Houston Marathon

The Marathon has come and gone, Looking back on my training for it or what some would say lack of training. I would not have changed anything. Yea I didn't have a fast time but I feel great two days later. The longest run I had leading up to it was 9 miles, I did nothing but Crossfit.com WOD's, and a few 3/6 milers. I did cut down on my Olympic lifting, just because I did not want to gain any extra weight.
The great thing is I have no blisters and no pain.

Post Marathon WOD, Me and Kris. I got it from CrossFit Endurance.

And some foam rolling. It was a little tough to get started, but afterwards we felt a lot better.

Day after I had a little knee pain and a little foot/ankle pain, not to bad. Today, 2 days after and I feel good, I'm going to do today's CF.com wod, nothing crazy, not worried about time, just want to get the muscles moving.

I want to say a Big thank you to all the supporters that came out to support the Marathoners. It was a great event. To the LuLu peps and the Bayou City/Pin Up crew y'all are AWSOME!

Also a big THANK YOU to Chris for running with me those 4 miles and to Katie for running the last 2 miles with me.
