For this Who’s Who feature we have Shane. I always enjoy Shane’s presence in my classes. He attacks each workout with intensity and is always enthusiastic about what we are doing. He came into Crossfit with a good strength base, and i am looking forward to him setting more PR’s in the future. If there is ever a rowing workout you want Shane on your team.
How were you introduced to Crossfit? I work with Nick G., should I say anymore? Surprisingly it took almost nine months of Nick constantly talking about Crossfit before I joined. Now I’m “that guy”.
Favorite WOD/lift: Any one that I can beat Nick G. at. Seriously though, pretty much any lifts except for overhead squat.
I have always wanted to: live in Europe. I have traveled through most of Europe but it I think it would be a whole new experience to live there for a few years.
1 word people use to describe me: mellow
Outside of the gym: I like riding my motorcycle and drink Portland’s numerous micro-brews but not at the same time , of course.
Something nobody knows about me or would be surprised to know about me: I was on a Crew team in High School. (rowed port in a eight man boat) I spent many tortuous winters erging. It is actually nice to be back on the erg and I hope to eventually meet or beat my old 2000 meter time of 6:40. ( I have a ways to go)
Favorite physical activity outside of Crossfit: wakeboarding.
Favorite place to eat in Portland: Flavour. The sausage maple waffle is the best.
Song that gets me pumped up for a workout: Ramstein
Proudest accomplishment: Making health and fitness a priority in my life. After graduating from college I stopped exercising and had a horrible diet. Joining Crossfit and eating a semi-paleo diet has made all the difference in my quality of life.
Where is that mountain photo from?!
Yea i was wondering that myself. Didnt know Shane was a world traveler.
That explains it. Shane had to have a physical background to come so far so fast. Rip those pull-ups!
recovery day, 2K Row, 9:45. Awesome
practiced snatching, getting down quick. Got a great tip from Adam and tried it out today. Got 115 quick, no foot stomp! A whole new world…
Games WOD
A.M.
Power Snatch – 10×3 – 165#
“Devils Tricycle” – 30 sec max effort, 3 min rest, 4 rounds
Coming back tonight for the 2nd Friday WOD of the double.
The mountain name is the Audobon in Colorado (over 13,000 Feet), and it took Shane 4 hours and 23 minutes and 2 seconds to climb it and he did yell, “TIME!!!” at the top of it….just something else he beat me in.
Shane is also a kickballer and Dodgeballer but he is too modest to mention.
What, what?!?!?!? Shane, are you the “other” CrossFit Portland team that is signing up for CrossFit Fightball?
Wow Shane that is so cool!
Pretty mountain!
Geez sub 7 min. on the erg. No prob. you got it!
