Season Outlook

With the first quarter winding down, it feels like an appropriate time to evaluate fitness training and overall health.

Bodyweight - 209 pounds (205 pounds on 12/31/2025)
Swim workouts - 4
Runs - 19 (33 miles)
Bike - 4

Highlights 
  • Beasts of Buckley - competed on short notice and did well
  • CrossFit Open - consistent year over year
Q2 Events
  • Deka.Fit - primary training modality
  • Muddy Dash
  • USAWA Nationals
Q3 Events
  • Littlefoot Triathlon - will transition after Deka.Fit
  • IAWA Worlds
I have been training pretty consistently, but have been pretty heavy on CrossFit and running.  I have been squeezing in the occasional swim or bike.  Working through Deka movements has been a priority.

The new wildcard is Ultimate Frisbee.  I have joined a pick-up game in O'Kane park (6) days this quarter and that has provided a much needed team sport and social outlet.  I feel somewhat committed and have really been enjoying team sports again.  It is only once per week, 

The only other team sports I have ever played in earnest have been rec league basketball and softball.  Both are more of a commitment but do make for closer friendships.

I have been toying with my commitment to individual sports.  I am not carving out enough time to do well and that is OK.  I think dropping my CrossFit membership will go a long way towards keeping training fun and engaging.
  • Grip
  • Highland Games
  • Hyrox
  • Swim-Run
  • All-Round Weightlifting
  • Powerlifting
  • Strongman
Even minimally involved, I will do King Kong, USAWA Nationals and Garage Gym Competition.  Taking things to the next level would involve training for Highland Games, Hyrox or Swim-Run.

I would also like to scuba dive locally at least 2-3 times this season.  I am not planning much golf or archery.  I would like to check out the disc golf near CDOT.  Fencing was an epic fail, but laser-shoot could be really cool.

I have also recently thinking about active sports and hobbies that I have dropped and will unlikely ever pick up again.
  • Basketball league
  • Softball league
  • Rock Climbing
  • Bicycling distances over 50 miles
  • Foot races 13.1+
  • Mountain Bike racing
I also have a wish list of before its too late
  • Tennis league
  • Pickleball
  • Padel
  • Racquetball
  • Squash
Finally closing with the list of activities that is too late for, but I was once interested in
  • Backcountry skiing
  • Ice climbing
  • Martial Arts - Wrestling, Jujitsu, Tai Kwon Do, Boxing
