Back from San Diego
We’re back from a great trip south. We both went to the Performance Weightlifting Cert in Fallbrook, CA. It was very well done, and both Rochelle and I came away with plenty of practical information. It was great fun, as well. If you are interested in Olympic Weightlifting, I’d recommend getting to one of these. Be prepared for lots of work on the Olympic lifts this winter!
Lifting at the seminar.
Camp CrossFit Portland. We stayed at the Dripping Springs campsite east of Temecula, CA. Only 10 minutes out of town, but on the edge of a wilderness area. It felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. We got in a hike into the wilderness on Friday.
Greg Everett is the guy behind the Performance Weightlifting Seminars. On Saturday night, we went up to Coach Burgener’s house for a barbecue. While there, Greg hits a PR in the power clean and jerk - 132 kg.
After the lifting, time to cook. We were in charge of the desserts. Here, Paleo sweet potato pie goes into the oven alongside herbed sweet potatoes. Thanks to the Burgeners for the hospitality, and to everyone at the cert for a great weekend!

Scott's Cookbook
Thanks for coming down! We had a great time, and we were glad you two could make it. Maybe sometime next year we can do one up in PDX.
I second the idea for one in PDX. That looks like a really fun time, i need to get to one of these soon.
