I am like Paul and workout alone with no affiliate. This blog is full of knowledgeable people who are willing to help anyone to achieve their goals. I was able to e-mail a few people on here to seek advice and they were more than willing to help. You can't find a better Coach that is not only willing to make you a better athlete but also a better person. <br /><br />Walking into Fran nervous but confident.

Then the rest of my year was a roller coaster, my wife and I sold our house, lived in tiny apt, i had to workout in a globogym for 12 weeks, stress levels very high with financial problems with building new house and crossfit gym. Finally settled into consistent training last 3 weeks, feeling good. I learned alot in the 12 weeks about myself. #1 thing was to have a vision, stay focused and dont let go of it, thanks coach.Garage Crossfitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905752871896361944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-79988978770732136352010-12-21T16:25:03.854-07:002010-12-21T16:25:03.854-07:00From Dec 12th

I didn't do particularly well relative to the rest of the group but compared to the Jeff of 3 months ago, staying on a rower for 60 minutes is worthy of the Nobel Prize in Attitude Adjustment.<br /><br />I told one of my training buddies that I had actually completed a 60 minute row, and he replied that its quite an accomplishment for someone as "aerobically challenged" as I am.<br /><br />(I think my VO2 Max has soared up to 9.)<br /><br />BUT! This does NOT mean that I will row for 90 minutes, so let's cool down a bit on the endurance thing and get back to my meat and potatoes: things that marginally involve sweating.jerfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-64208952540244665232010-12-21T13:38:17.529-07:002010-12-21T13:38:17.529-07:00My favourite moment would have to be at Regionals...My favourite moment would have to be at Regionals.<br /><br />Making it into the final heat of the weekend going against Mike Fitz, DJ, Brett Marshall, Dan Rogers and Garth Prouse... it was an unreal feeling.<br /><br />Can't wait for 2011.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894035499231049647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-82039094170234086742010-12-21T13:34:00.072-07:002010-12-21T13:34:00.072-07:00My greatest training moment would have to be joini...My greatest training moment would have to be joining this community.

I put in countless hours of training by myself and had to push myself a number of times in the rain, at 6am, during triple days, to just keep going. When I got to the regionals I knew the first wod of tire flips and log carry was not going to be my best and doubt started to enter my mind. Once it was "3-2-1-go" I did my thing and as my hammies started to burn I was able to push through and felt very strong. When I heard my time at the finish line I knoew I had beat some top guys from the previous heat, and I knew my training culminated to that point and it was going to pay off the rest of the day. <br /><br /> Now the second day was a different story as I really fell off, but something to work on in 2011!joey warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181329717792038297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-82328133405203361182010-12-21T12:41:54.995-07:002010-12-21T12:41:54.995-07:002010 was an up and down year for me.

I have just recently started following your program and believe it looks well thought out. I plan to begin posting on a regular basis. <br /><br />My favorite moment was actually more of a time frame then a single moment. It was actually the sum of training that went to competing in the games as a member of the Fort Bragg team. I don't think I could have asked for better teammates, and was honored to just be around these folks.<br /><br />Looking forward to 2011.....Gaspasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103989440112831794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-15780308433173822042010-12-21T12:17:32.739-07:002010-12-21T12:17:32.739-07:00Favorite moments
