Taking it easy!

Beginning on Friday, I've been in taper mode, letting my body heal up a bit from the abuse I've put myself through. I'm doing a bit of strength and technique work, but never more than 80% max effort. I've also done a few met-cons to keep my lungs optimal.

Yesterday, I did a trial of the movement standards they just released. Lots of strict movements, but some good news on a few of the movements. I also did some strategic thinking about how I'm going to attack each WOD. Things change during game-day of course, but it helped.

Also, I begin carb loading my body tonight and will continue through Friday morning. Only 1 more week of strict eating ;) 

In addition, I've picked up a few "sponsors!" It's more just un-paid name recognition for their brands, but I'm not complaining. Free gear!??! Sure! But even better is the products are CrossFit related and help the community, which I want and hope they become successful because of it. If you are reading this and want a product represented, please contact me!

Alas, I'm happy to be competing with the top 1,020 fittest people in the world and I'm even happier that I am one of them! But I will say, I'll be glad when I'm done with the Games. It's been a long journey, but I've learned a LOT about what it takes (and takes its toll on). Learning and growing...

Por Vida!
