2015 Open Finished

Yes, a little bruised EGO in 2015. I can't control the programming, some of the programming might have not been fair, but at the end of the day, life isn't fair. I have some power issues, and I need to address this chink in my armor. Here's how I finished in the NW Region individually...note that I never planned on going individual this year, so most of the Open workouts for me were one and done: Week 1 = 16th, 205th Week 2 = 15th week 3 = 17th week 4 =78th week 5 = 178th 38th Place in the NorthWest Region (my worst ever finish, nobody cares, work harder). Our team is top 5, and will probably wash out into 2nd or 3rd. We are legit and have a great shot of returning to the CrossFit Games in 2015! Training Today 1.

I train to compete at CrossFit by doing CrossFit. I still shoot my bow daily, hike with weight on my back on the weekends, but mainly I do competitive exercising to make myself fit and mentally strong. This is how Elk Hunting Fitness is done for me. This is not for everyone. If you don't have experience weightlifting and/or powerlifting... you probably shouldn't do CrossFit without a really qualified coach.
