I have not posted here in quite a while, not because the workouts have stopped but because I have been using coaches who have been providing me with programming.

I turned 55 which means that I am at my prime years for competing in CrossFit as I am the youngest in my division and the weights drop significantly in this division.

Last year, I hired, Jason Grubb as my coach, got a nutrition coach as well and also hired Sonny Webster as my Olympic lifting coach. I did all this so that I could test myself to see where I stood in the age group CrossFit world.

With several large events on the horizon, I set my sights on Legends, Masters Fitness Collective and Wodapalooza. Each has an online competition that narrows the field and then an in person competition to decide the winners.

I qualified for each of these and then either had scheduling conflicts or personal conflicts which did not allow me to compete in the in person events. Once that happened, I realized that competing in the in person events was still important to me but maybe not as important as I thought.

My training has not changed, I am still training as if I will compete but for some reason the competitive fire for the in person competitions has subsided and I am focused on training with my friends and focusing on strength, mobility, flexibility and longevity.

If you want to follow the training I am doing you can go to the place I log all my workouts and request to follow my gym, Toms Garage/RRL to see the daily workouts.
