Nutrition-8/7 thru 8/9 (aka "The Weekend) and 8/10

Friday thru Sunday

On Friday, I took off with a group of fellow friends and coaches for Bend, Oregon to attend an Olympic Weightlifting Certification put on by Mike Burgener, an amazing coach, seriously, one of the best out there. So that's why I've been off the radar. It was  pretty full day of travel on Friday followed by one and a half days of intensive skill work in the gym with Coach B and another long road trip back on Sunday afternoon/evening. A fantastic weekend. I don't know that I've ever, in all my experience to this point, been as impressed/inspired/enthused with a coach. Coach Burgener is the best out there and it was a privilege to spend the weekend learning from him. My skill in the Olympic Lifts, although a life-long "work in progress," will never be the same. I'm stoked. 

My eating was pretty spotty over the weekend and I definitely did some splurging. Here's the dirty: 5 pints various deschutes microbrews over the course of the trip, elk burger, french fries, reeses pieces peanut butter cup ice cream, snickers ice cream bar. That was it, I guess the damage wasn't too bad.

I plan on making a serious effort to train under Coach B at some point in the future, even if just for a week or two. It was definitely a event I won't soon forget
