Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day Weekend 2010 was spent cheering Matt on at his Crossfit Regionals Competition in Jacksonville, FL and introducing Roman and Maggie to the ocean. While Matt stayed in Jacksonville with his fellow competitors, Roman and I stayed with Marcia (my younger sister) in Brunswick, GA about an hour away. After the competition was over we all relaxed up in Brunswick and visited St. Simons Isle for some fun on the beach.



Matt looking quite tired above and well who could blame him after competing all weekend long.

Daddy keeping a close eye on Roman as he ventured into the waves with no hesitation.








Roman loved eating the sand when mom wasn't watching.

Maggie looking like she is hating it- but think we got a picture of her mid shake...she dove into the waves no problem.

Below is Maggie and her posse of friends. She had a blast running around the beach- oh and diving into people's coolers for any snacks they may have left unattended (how embarrassed was I). note to self: Feed the food driven dog BEFORE going to the beach.
Friday and Saturday we made the hour long commute to watch Matt compete in his team affiliate competition. His team was made up of 3 guys and 3 girls who competed in 4 different workouts. The pictures are in reverse order but the workouts consisted of the following:

Friday: Workout #1: One Rep Max Clean and Jerk followed by as many muscle ups and chest-to-bar pull ups the team could do in 2 minutes per exercise. Matt got a personal record (225 lbs) on his Clean and Jerk as did many of his fellow competitors and they started out the competition at the top of the leader board.

Saturday: Workout #2: Flip 2 tires down a 50 meter course - once at the end, 200 burpees to be completed using both tires divided evenly jumping in and out of tire between each burpee and then flipping tire back to start position and stacking them on top of one another. Time was called when the entire team was all standing on top of the tire. Matt's team finished in 10 min 24 sec.

Sunday: Workout #3: Row 5000M done 10 x 500M divided among team members. Matt rowed 4 of them and this was his best split below:

Sunday: Workout #4:
60 front squats
200 M farmers walk carrying kettle bells
200 M Run,
60 push press
200 M Farmers Walk with kettle bells
200 M Run
60 dead lifts
200 M Farmers Walk with kettle bells
