Level 1 Cert Down!!!

I finally, after much anticipation (procrastinated like a year) completed the Level 1 Cert in Saint Paul, MN this past weekend. An abolute phenomenal weeked spent with amamzing people whether athletes or trainers.

This would not have been possible without the rad HQ staff that was there to facilitate our learing/training. Todd, EC, Rudy, Dennis, Joe, and Robb were amazing to work with for those two days and I hope they know how much inspiration they are to each and every person who attended. Their presence, approachability, and uncanny knowledge on the subject matter helped each of us through the weekend to become 100% better/faster/stronger as athletes/trainers/humans!

As I strive towards the dream of opening an affiliate very soon, I can only aspire to one day posses a portion of the knowledge that each trainer brought to the table. I can’t thank them enough for all that they do!!!

***If you're even cinsidering going to the Level 1 Cert, do so ASAP!!! This won't just help you dramitcally as an Athlete but as an overall human being during your lifespan.

Huge shout out today to my Home Away From Home, CrossFit Sioux Falls. I came accross this picture of Chris and I crushing the "FRAN" Challenge and it's just one memory of how far many of us have come in the last year that CrossFit has been part of our lives. Love you guys!!!

Here we are only day 2 into this new blog of mine and i'm already out of stuff to rant about...just playing! I wasted a good portion of my work day today pondering what to do for a WOD since I have so many areas to get back on top of. I came up with a sweet little workout for my bro Austin (work with him @ CH) and I to do...but Austin ended up having to leave early and once again my friends, it was me all alone on the platform!!! Well here's what i put myself through today!
