Prancing and Sucking

I quit my job, sold my home, and drove around the country in the summer and fall of 2006, training BJJ, finding myself, and landing in LA. I still travel a lot and get to train in amazing places. Some of my friends are irritated that I "prance" around the world and think I "suck" for doing so.

A different kind of competition

On Sunday I'll be participating in my second USA Weightlifting competition. Here are the details: http://teamcrossfitacademy.com/?page_id=3057

I have three opportunities to clean and jerk and then to snatch as much weight as I can. My score is the combined totals of all of these lifts. I am competing against everyone else in my weight class, which last time was me. So maybe it's not so different from grappling competitions.

But it is a pretty low-stakes situation for me, and it's a good opportunity to practice the lifts while dealing with nerves. It's gonna be fun!
