What up....

[GnomusMaximus]

So I can access this site again. Good to see some of the same folks here. See some of you on the book of faces and Instagram, but for some reason it is different here. So what has everybody been up to?

For me...since last time I checked in...dropped a bit of bodyfat by doing a ton of conditioning crossfitty type stuff. Next I am planning on finally getting my eating together. Have torn my right bicep tendon twice since May but managed to work around it enough to do a local crossfit contest, a really cool Strongman down in DC and a slightly reduced Highland Games schedule...only did 4 this summer. Since we have now started a 50+ class in most games I have actually placed and got some cool plaques and an Ale Horn for trophies this year. So this is the worst I have done actually throwing...but the best year I have had for getting stuff. I tell everyone they are awards for being alive and slightly less beat up than the bigger guys.

Still married, still two goofy kids. Made a job change that has dramatically reduced my stress levels, should have done it years ago.

My next thing is to try to get back into some Oly lifting. The qualifying weights for nationals and Pan-Ams in the 55 - 59 age group are very realistic for me and I can qualify while I am 54,so I think that will be something I do more of. Need to go 65kg snatch 85kg clean and jerk at a body weight of 89kg. All that will require a little work, but is very reasonable for me. Still keep throwing stuff and cherry picking strongman contests where I won't get a bunch of 0's until I finally fall apart....so same stuff different year.

welcome back, I have been doing CrossFit recently for a change of pace. I've never been fitter or felt better, did you do the open?

[GnomusMaximus]

No, a local contest. I did the "Lift Off" a few years ago, did pretty well in that.
