And then I'm like, let's just do what he did.

So ideally, you you aren't surprised by anything like I practice throwing sandbags over stuff this summer after we found out that there was going to be the back throw.

You watch videos, you study videos, you get help from people who are really good at throwing sandbags over things and you figure out all those things.

And then when it comes to the balance of.

Testing it in front of people and not trying to show all your cards like.

I know the, the bunny hop and starting the, like, I know that I'm not going to do it today.

Like you're, everyone's watching me.

Even if it's one

There's Mountain West

...

Mountain West, uh, Summit Games was a few weeks ago.

Um, but honestly, I'm, like, people showed out when, when I put this up, and tons of people from the gyms around here, and even a, a little further up north.

I think some people are traveling out of state to come.

Uh, but yeah, super stoked about it.

It's gonna be a pairs competition.

[laughs]

um do you um do you have any plans uh of attack uh well let me go back one step uh how bad did it get did it ever get to where you're like fuck it i'm quitting uh

not to the point of quitting but i was like uh i just might not show up today i'm gonna take a week off like that kind of thing.

I knew the thing that kept me going every single day and showing up no matter how late in the day I started was a week before the games.

I knew I was going to, I have to look myself in the mirror and say, okay, did you do everything you could this year to put yourself in a situation to do well at the CrossFit Games? And so I was just thinking of myself a few months, few weeks down the road.

I was like, you have to show up so that when you get to the CrossFit Games, you can at least just relax.

Because when I am competing, I think I'm pretty free and I'm in the zone.

I'm in a flow state.

um did that heal by did that thursday off help it quite a bit

I thought the same.

It also sucks that, I mean, it would...

Then rope climbs are gone.

Like, I understand what he's doing, but also I was...

Like, even, like, the single bike events that we've had before, it's, like, the crit, like, I think is something different where...

Or in Madison when we did the cyclocross, like, you're at least getting on and off the bike.

Where the Morgan Hill Center is just a flat soccer field.
