Here it is people the summary.

So here it is people the summary of our trip!!!

On thursday evening we arrived in san diego and went out to the hard rock cafe for dinner and then checked out the crossfit san diego where our certification was one of the biggest box's i have ever seen. On friday we went out to the zoo for the day that was pretty sweet. On Saturday we had our first day of the certification. The cert ran from 9 until 5 with an hour and a half lunch break. We learned sooo much about technique, coaching and diet that it is amazing. They gave us a lot of things to think about. The trainers we had were Jolie, Dutch, Todd, Dave, Jimmy, CJ, Danny and Andy. They were all extremely nice and incredibly helpful. Right before lunch time we did bottom to bottom tabata squats trying to keep up to Dutch man that guys a beast. My score on the squats was 19 leanna's was 8 mom's was 9 and dads was 12. Dutch beat everyone with a score of 20 and did he ever make it look easy. After that they went on about the differences between crossfit and all the other types of working out. At the very end of the day we finished with an absolutely horrible bitch. As DC refers to her as. Frannnnn dun dun dun :) I have to say that is definetly one of the top 5 hardest workouts that i have ever done in my days of crossfit. Times went like this 
Chad 5:43
        John 7:59                                    21 thrusters
        Hollie 8:39                                21 pullups
      Leanna 10:00                             15 thrusters 
                                                            15 pullups
                                                           9 thrusters
                                                          9 pullups
 After that we pretty much layed down and died for a while. We left the box that night and pretty much went straight to bed after watching some of the fights. 

Sunday we got there and took notes for a few hours and then right before lunch we did another workout that you all know named FGB (fight gone bad) 

3 rounds
1minute of each and get as many repetitions as you can of each exercise. Add up all your reps at the end for your total score 
wallball
sumo deadlift high pull
box jump
pushpress 
row
one minute break

John 284
Chad 250 
Hollie 216
Leanna 187

   After that they were talking about how to program the workouts. It is so interesting to see  how much work goes into something we take for granted (no idea how to spell that)
We left the gym at 6 ish after talking to everyone and went straight home packed and went out. 

Monday we spent all day driving down to santa cruz to go and see annie and rob at santa cruz central.

400 m walking lunge's

followed by weighted pushups i managed to get three at 45 lbs

We spent a while talking to annie and rob and everyone and then left that night and drove down all around san fransisco saw alcatraz. The next morning we left for crossfit one world !!!
