Lucas, Craig and I landed in Indianapolis around 130 AM this morning. It was a long day. The trip was a success, we learned some new things, refreshed some old and got in a lot of great wods! The first wod attempted was 150 burpees for time. This was after a day of traveling and only getting 3 hours of sleep the night before BUT no excuses, I finished in 9:45. My goal was sub 10:00 so mission accomplished. The altitude played a huge role in my performance, as well as Lucas and Craig's. 150 burpees at 9,000 feet is not the same as 1,500 or so feet, lesson learned. There was a combination of brutal wods to follow in the next few days, they were fun, creative and really enjoyable!
Being in Colorado made me realize a few things. First, I missed Brandy and Cali very much and I don't like being with them for extended periods of time. Second, I am not built to live on a mountain. While climbing Mt. Evans, at about 12,000 feet I started to feel nauseous and light headed. The elevation was a lot for my body to handle. I can not imagine how people who are not in good health and physically fit can visit those places with out getting sick. On the way back down I heard and saw several people sitting down catching their breath and complaining of similar side effects. I'm glad it wasn't just me.
I am looking forward to getting back in my routine with work, food and training. It was a fun weekend but there is no place like home.
