Team Sprint Team!

Ken Harris asked me to be the start for Adler's team sprint team. So it's me, Tony and Ken to finish. I think I should be second and Tony should start. i feel that my standing start is going to be way to much for them to hold and it will be just like the Olympics and the absurd amount of disorganization in the team sprints. Even Great Britain, who killed it, well Hoy killed all by himself. That's what I am saying though, he should have had a draft but didn't. I think I will do better in the middle anyway, this way I can lead out Ken on an absurd gear. Having a slower start will be better because it will allow us to use higher gears.

Olympics

This is good shit

Hoy!

I just watched the team sprint on MSNBC. That was amazing. Chris Hoy did the whole race by himself. I can't help but feel he had something to prove about the loss of the kilo.

BTW my friend Ashira met Chirs at the LA World Cup last year. He gave her his flowers!

Crossfit

Taking my second free Crossfit class tonite. Super stoked. Took my first one last Sunday with my ex. I was sore for the first time in awhile.

The Crossfit philosophy and methodology are right up my alley. The main focus is on functional strength and power. They use plyometrics, gymnastics and olympic lifts with a lot of variation so the body is forced to adapt constantly. I love the oly lifts, but I am kinda intimidated and want at least a little coaching. I still might go to LBH since that is paid for, but I like the atmosphere at Crossfit. They are jerks (he he) at Lost Battalion and the Crossfit location is way more clean (tee hee). LBH is tougher tho.
