I talked to Rob a little bit the other day, and he's psyched to get me fit enough to take part in the Cross Fit Games - after checking the website out, I must say I'm psyched and I think it will improve my climbing.
Today I met up with Rob in the morning at the Rush where I did a small workout:
12 back squats (w/ a 45 pound bar) - 3 sets
12 shoulder push press (w/ a 45 pound bar)- 3 sets
10 sumo high pulls (w/ a 45 pound bar) - 3 sets
Then did:
15 kettle bell swings (20 pound kettle bell)
10 box jumps
(4 sets; you do the first exercise then the second one and repeat)
I had to work at TBA at 4pm
and Rob came in to help train the team kids around 5pm
all of us went outside and did the following:
We were paired up with another person so while one was doing the running the other was doing the other exercise
Set 1:
run there and back in the parking lot (80 yards maybe) x2
push ups
Set 2:
run there and back in the parking lot x2
squats
Set 3:
run there and back in the parking lot x2
dips
Set 4:
run there and back in the parking lot x2
box jumps
When we were done, we did lunges there and back in the parking lot
My legs are going to be sore tomorrow, I KNOW IT!!
Now I'm going to climb at the gym, since we have 60 new problems,
I'm hoping to do all the reds (recreational), greens (beginner), yellows (intermediate) and then try all the blues (advance)...

ABS Competition
TBA hosted yet another ABS competition
It was a great showing of about 45 competitors and many parents
Jimmy, Voges, Isabelle, Nate, Luis and I set 60 problems for the competition
Theresa helped out with the other aspects of the competition; score cards, waivers, etc.
The TBA Ballers represented with two of our members getting first in their categories: Anna Fox and Max Glascock
The others did well as well... (full results to come on the TBA site)
We raised a good amount of money from our climbing team with our burger and hotdog sales - thanks to those that purchased the food!
Now we have a bunch of new problems for the rest of our customers to try - come on it and get to climbing!
And keep a look out for our next climbing competition on December 8th!

Finally Sending...
it's been a long time coming, but i've finally sent a rock climb
i did the "new" mechanic
a big ledge broke off earlier this season
the way i did it originally doesn't make a big difference in the problem,
i think it will be harder for those that used the knee bar for the cross move
unless you have really long legs, the knee bar won't happen
here is a short video of me sending and jimmy getting the FA to another classic

Cross Fit Training
For the last few weeks i've been doing cross fit training
It's been really hard but really awesome at the same time!
Everytime that I train, the next time i'm really sore!
For example, yesterday we did some cross fit training and we did the following:
All i know is if i was going to have to do one more, my legs would of given out!Today, my legs are sore, but it's a good feeling!

For example, yesterday we did some cross fit training and we did the following:
- 40 shoulder presses
- 75 sit ups
- 75 push ups
- 75 air squats
This time around it was not timed, but it was still tiring
When we were done with that Rob told us we were going to do mountain climbers.
I didn't know what those were, none of us really did except Savage, so he demonstrated.
When he showed us we all walked out into the hallway because there was more room out there.
We all got into the position and we did several repatitions.
- 20 seconds of exercise
- 10 seconds of rest
All i know is if i was going to have to do one more, my legs would of given out!Today, my legs are sore, but it's a good feeling!

HP40 Competition
This past weekend was the HP40 Triple Crown event
This year the temps couldn't of been better!
Even the start of Waterloo was dry!
My friend Angie flew in from Colorado to do the competition,
Also, Isabelle, that's been staying with me did the comp as well!
The event was awesome like always and the people made it even better!
Warming up was a little bit hard at first, but once we got going, nothing could stop us
On second thought, all the sandstone boulders could stop us!!
but it was up to us to try and send those glorious boulders that have defeated us once before!
There were some that day, that shut us down... others went without a fight...
And for some, we had to come back later in the day to complete!
But when I heard that we had 30 mins left and I had three more problems to go, that's when it was game time!
Running around the boulder field frantically trying to find something to fill up my score card with was an awesome experience! (happens every year, but somehow I don't figure out a way of fixing it!!)
It's in those last 30 minutes when you show what you are made of!! Some send hard while others try to find the easy repeat that will fill up slot #10
First Ave Rocks (Adam's gym) was selling Chilly and beer... it was a good mixture
but the best was hearing stories from different friends that you haven't seen in a while
Laughing about random things that have happened in the past
The best is the back massage from the Prana booth, and you hear you're friend saying "oh man, Kasia's getting a back massage"
It's a great event every year, with a few upsets but a lot of great memories!!
Many of the competitors blog about their experiences (Brad, Angie, Brion, and for results)
And we all came to the same conclusion:
The season has come to the south! We are ready to crush!

Adrenaline Comp
Yesterday I attended the Adrenaline Comp
Holly, Isabelle and I left Chatty around 4
We thought it was an hour and half drive, it wasn't
We were about 30 mins late
Right when we got there I found out that they sell ALE 8 ONE there!
That got be psyched right away
I bought one!
I was going to buy a six pack to take home with me, but unfortunetly they ran out!
They had a lot of sponsors which definetly helps the competition
It's awesome to see sponsors still helping out gyms!
Climbed for a good while
There was a finals round, it was the first time that they did this!
In the end it worked out well
Here are the results from the event!
Next time you should come!
