Patrick St Charles was in Class 015 of Goruck Selection with me.  We trained with 3 other guys from my garage and another, Jonathan Hurtado, online.  

The first class went pretty well for me.  I made it roughly 19 hours and learned all the lessons I needed from this event.  Jonathan and Patrick did not do as well and the failure in 015 left them both very hungry for another try.  They both ended up in quite a bit different situation in the second attempt.

No excuses, just busy.  The daily blog returns after a layoff.  Sorry to the daily readers, but there is nothing wrong.  Thanks for your emails.

The CrossFit Open has been going on the last 3 weeks and it always throws me for a loop in training.  I want to do my best which usually requires a little rest and also a retest of each workout.  My schedule has been to watch the announcement on Thursday and then try it around 4 pm on Friday after sleeping in.  I will get more rest on Saturday and Sunday, sleep in on Monday and then try again at 5 pm.  Then Tuesday is usually some sort of skill work, hoping to outsmart Dave Castro and be a little ahead in some movement that I expect on the next workout.  So far, I have not outsmarted anyone.

Wednesday is track work and Thursday is more skill based and movement based stuff.

I actually think that my training goes down hill during the Open, but I do feel rested.

Today
