i went down south for my olympic lifting certification. i didn't get any pictures of the event because i was part of the action. after sitting on the plane for 4 hours randy took me to "pump wall" a popular bouldering spot at a beach near the airport. my eyes beheld things of paradise. or the clichéd version of it, i guess: beautiful blue sky, sea birds, rocks, perfect sunshine, perfect little swells, salty breeze...
i'm glad i got a little down time before diving into the certification where for two days i was fully applying myself to the experience, to the attendants, to the coaches. i'm experienced in the lifts, but i know that i still have a lot to learn about how to pass my knowledge on to others. i got a lot out of because i went in wanting to learn more. coach burgener wants to hire me to be part of his traveling certification team. next weekend i'm attending the cert in puyallup as an intern. it should be good. yay burpees!
beside the cert:spent some quality time with the mikki and jeff martin, had a chance to get to know connor a little better, ate awesome-tasting cheap mexican food, witnessed a martial arts belt test(really fricken cool), and saw greg and maril parker for the first time in a very long time! it was stellar.
coach and duncan martin, one legged snatches.
now back to work. yahoo!
