Yesterday's Training
- At Crossfit Intrepid with coach Ruth and Aileen Wu (Bob Takano's athlete) - Thanks ladies!

Did some hang snatching - 4 sets of 3 @85,95,105x2
Snatch Balances 4 sets of 3 - same weights
Clean and Jerk 3., 4 sets @135,155,175x2
Squat - 225, 255x2
Press - 115x2, 125x2

Getting the hang of this, still needs lots of work.

Do you choose to ignore what you suck at? Or do put the ego away and become a better athlete?

How to shock your system and make your body be royally pissed at you
1. Get on a plane from LAX where it's 70 degrees in January
2: Get off in Detroit, 4 hours later, in middle seat, next to a guy who assumed your leg was a scratching post for his leg...
3: Walk outside to find it's now 8 degrees.  Welcome back to Michigan Nik.
