  And then I got to create one

• 1:09
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:11
  I'm loving that.
• 1:12
  Yeah.
• 1:13
  It's cool kind of like
• 1:14
  diving deep into the brain
• 1:17
  power of a coach.
• 1:19
  Yeah, 100%.
• 1:20
  Especially him.
• 1:20
  He's so smart.
• 1:24
  Sometimes I'm like,
• 1:25
  I don't know what you're talking about,
• 1:26
  but I know you know what
• 1:27
  you're talking about.
• 1:28
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  So for people who don't know
• 1:32
  who this person is,
• 1:34
  we did a whole series with
• 1:35
  her this off season, live from Bali.
• 1:38
  And now she's back in, are you in Alberta?
• 1:42
  Yeah.
• 1:43
  Alberta.
• 1:44
  Look at me and my Canadian geography.
• 1:47
  Wow.
• 1:47
  I'm proud of you.
• 1:51
  So you are our third Canadian today.
• 1:55
  We are ripping it up through
• 1:58
  the Canadian Northwest.
• 2:02
  We started with Emily Rolfe,
• 2:03
  went to Gabby Spenst,
• 2:05
  finishing with Hattie Cano,
• 2:07
  and we had a little Texas
• 2:07
  flavor in the middle with
• 2:08
  Tristan Patrick.
• 2:13
  For those of you who don't know,
• 2:14
  Hattie and Tristan are coach and athlete,
• 2:19
  and Hattie's actually also
• 2:20
  a coach with Ascend.
• 2:23
  And so it's cool that we
• 2:25
  have them kind of on back to back.
• 2:29
  What's really crazy is as
• 2:30
  soon as we got off the air with Tristan,
• 2:33
  like literally the second we got done,
• 2:36
  they announced the individual workouts,
• 2:38
  all of them.
• 2:41
  I just saw that, too,
• 2:42
  because I just got out of yoga,
• 2:45
  and I was just scrolling a little bit,
• 2:47
  waiting to get on here.
• 2:48
  And then, yeah,
• 2:49
  I saw it pop up on my Instagram.
• 2:51
  I was like, what?
• 2:52
  All of them are out?
• 2:53
  And I sent Tristan a video
• 2:54
  right away being like, boy,
• 2:56
  these are awesome events.
• 3:00
  So you're pumped?
• 3:01
  Yeah, I'm pumped.
• 3:03
  I think they'll be really good.
• 3:05
  So you are...
• 3:08
  you're solid gymnast gymnast, right?
• 3:11
  Like that's your, you coach gymnastics.
• 3:13
  You're really good at that part.
• 3:16
  Um,
• 3:16
  not having a one rep max make you happy.
• 3:20
  Yeah.
• 3:20
  I mean, I would like that as well,
• 3:23
  but I just, I love snatching.
• 3:25
  So the snatching is going to be awesome.
• 3:27
  Like, and I love squat snatches.
• 3:29
  So yeah, it's going to be sick.
• 3:32
  I like when they do it like that,
• 3:33
  where they go up in weight and yeah,
• 3:36
  you have to get a bunch done.
• 3:37
  So yeah, I'm excited.
• 3:39
  So for people who didn't see it,
• 3:40
  the 2016 regional workout
• 3:44
  where they did the snatch ladder,
• 3:46
  starting 10, going to eight, going to six,
• 3:49
  going to four, going to two.
• 3:52
  Is that where you entered?
• 3:53
  You go to one.
• 3:54
  Yeah.
• 3:54
  I think it's two, two at one 75.
• 3:56
  Yeah.
• 3:58
  And they redid it at the
• 3:59
  West coast classic in 2021 when it was,
• 4:01
  when not all the semifinals
• 4:02
  were the same.
• 4:09
  Okay.
• 4:10
  I didn't even know that.
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:11
  West coast classic that,
• 4:12
  that year brought back all
• 4:14
  of their workouts were redos.
• 4:16
  Oh yeah.
• 4:17
  Yeah.
• 4:17
  I do remember that.
• 4:20
  And that actually was a very,
• 4:22
  very exciting event, the snatch ladder.
• 4:26
  It came down to, I think,
• 4:29
  Danny Spiegel and Danielle
• 4:32
  Brandon at the end of it at
• 4:33
  the West Coast Classic.
• 4:34
  They both went over the bar
• 4:36
  at the same time,
• 4:37
  and it was a time chip finish.
• 4:40
  Oh, I love it.
• 4:43
  That's why I love stuff like this, right?
• 4:45
  Because you can be neck and neck,
• 4:47
  and then it comes down to that.
• 4:48
  those last bars you got to
• 4:49
  be on it right oh and you
• 4:53
  got to be able to get the
• 4:54
  bar down settled and over
• 4:56
  in a quick amount of time
• 4:59
  yeah and with the ladder
• 5:01
  it's you got to do that
• 5:02
  five times yeah I hope
• 5:05
  they're gonna have you
• 5:06
  think they'll have all the
• 5:07
  bars set out right like a
• 5:09
  ladder yeah yeah
• 5:12
  And I like that you have to get 10 done,
• 5:14
  then eight done, like not just like one,
• 5:16
  one, one, one, one.
• 5:17
  Cause that's like a little
• 5:18
  more stressful where you
• 5:19
  have to go one list, try to jump over it,
• 5:22
  get to the next bar.
• 5:23
  Right?
• 5:23
  Like at least you like have
• 5:25
  a little bit of time at one
• 5:26
  bar and then get to the next bar,
• 5:28
  have a little bit of time
• 5:29
  at the next bar and so on.
• 5:32
  Yeah.
• 5:32
  It's,
• 5:32
  it's funny because some people try to
• 5:36
  touch and go.
• 5:39
  some people didn't and just
• 5:41
  knew that they were going to murder the,
• 5:43
  the end of it.
• 5:44
  Right.
• 5:44
  Right.
• 5:45
  And so like,
• 5:46
  it was really cool just to
• 5:48
  different strategies and
• 5:49
  how it all played out.
• 5:50
  And you have to watch that.
• 5:52
  Cause that is the hard part
• 5:53
  about it is like, you can, you can say,
• 5:56
  Oh, I can touch and go that, that way,
• 5:58
  you know, easy.
• 5:59
  But like even last year,
• 6:01
  Kelly and I were like, Oh,
• 6:02
  do we touch and go those snatch?
• 6:04
  You know how it was like the
• 6:04
  snatch into the run and,
• 6:06
  And we're like, no,
• 6:08
  I'm really good at singles,
• 6:10
  like fast singles.
• 6:11
  But then when the East went,
• 6:12
  we saw everyone went touch and go.
• 6:14
  And we're like, well,
• 6:15
  I guess we're doing touch and go.
• 6:16
  Right.
• 6:17
  Because it's like,
• 6:18
  I guess you kind of got to.
• 6:20
  And plus,
• 6:20
  it does minimize accidentally
• 6:22
  like grabbing it wrong or whatever.
• 6:24
  So I understand that.
• 6:26
  But I was like, oh, because in practice,
• 6:28
  I did it just as fast.
• 6:30
  doing singles as touch and
• 6:31
  go but again like you could
• 6:33
  accidentally drop or grab
• 6:35
  it wrong or whatever so in
• 6:36
  the end we're like yeah we
• 6:38
  should probably do touch
• 6:39
  and go so the one the one
• 6:42
  vivid memory I have from
• 6:43
  that ladder as well is tola
• 6:46
  was going individual that
• 6:47
  year and he gets to the end
• 6:50
  and he tried to touch and
• 6:51
  go the last two at the
• 6:54
  heaviest weight and he missed it
• 6:59
  No.
• 7:00
  I believe someone passed him
• 7:01
  at the very last second
• 7:03
  because he tried to touch and go.
• 7:06
  If he would have just
• 7:07
  dropped it and picked it up
• 7:09
  and hit it again,
• 7:09
  he would have won easily.
• 7:10
  Yeah,
• 7:11
  but sometimes you just got to go for it,
• 7:13
  right?
• 7:13
  It's like
• 7:15
  It's so hard to know sometimes.
• 7:18
  I mean,
• 7:18
  once you understand yourself more
• 7:20
  and more as an athlete,
• 7:22
  I feel like it's a little bit easier.
• 7:23
  But even then,
• 7:25
  like even last year in
• 7:26
  practice with that number two,
• 7:28
  with like the gymnastics
• 7:29
  one with the ring muscle up one,
• 7:31
  I practice it and I did it all unbroken,
• 7:34
  all the ring muscle up.
• 7:35
  But we had practiced it.
• 7:36
  We had practiced it with the sled pull.
• 7:39
  So I was tired from the sled pull.
• 7:41
  The only thing that was
• 7:42
  different was the sleds weren't like,
• 7:44
  we didn't know we were not
• 7:45
  even going to be able to
• 7:46
  budge those things.
• 7:47
  So knowing that I should
• 7:49
  have known that that was
• 7:50
  going to tire out my grip
• 7:51
  and my triceps even more.
• 7:53
  So maybe I should have had a
• 7:54
  plan B for that.
• 7:55
  But I was like, ah, like,
• 7:57
  you feel pretty good.
• 7:58
  And then I just went for it.
• 8:00
  And then look what happened.
• 8:01
  And I still have PTSD from that.
• 8:04
  I, I think Tola was going for that moment,
• 8:08
  that crowd moment.
• 8:09
  For sure.
• 8:11
  Yeah.
• 8:11
  Like let's go.
• 8:12
  Yeah.
• 8:13
  You know,
• 8:14
  like I think when Rich tried to
• 8:16
  clean and jerk 400 or like,
• 8:19
  there's those moments where
• 8:20
  they try to get like the
• 8:21
  whole crowd in and they
• 8:23
  just go for it and it,
• 8:24
  and it doesn't always go well,
• 8:25
  but we don't need to get
• 8:27
  into all the workouts.
• 8:28
  You're just happy.
• 8:28
  You've seen them and you,
• 8:30
  you like what you see.
• 8:31
  Yep.
• 8:33
  I'm happy.
• 8:33
  Um,
• 8:35
  So we talked all off season
• 8:37
  about things that you were
• 8:38
  doing to prepare yourself
• 8:41
  for this season and that
• 8:43
  you had like a conversation
• 8:44
  with Tristan at the end of last season.
• 8:46
  Like you need to get outside the gym more.
• 8:49
  You need to flush out all that,
• 8:53
  be in your happy place and
• 8:54
  just to maintain your
• 8:56
  mental health through training.
• 8:59
  How has that gone for you
• 9:00
  since you've been back from Bali?
• 9:03
  It's been good.
• 9:04
  Good.
• 9:06
  Definitely good.
• 9:07
  But it's like,
• 9:09
  I'm just trying to find this
• 9:10
  balance of not doing too
• 9:13
  much and then doing enough,
• 9:15
  if that makes sense.
• 9:15
  Like, there was a point where I was like,
• 9:18
  Oh, no, I feel like I'm not doing enough.
• 9:19
  But also,
• 9:22
  like Instagram came into
• 9:23
  play a little bit with that too.
• 9:24
  Like it's a highlight reel.
• 9:26
  And when you see people just
• 9:27
  busting their ass, you're like, Oh,
• 9:29
  they're doing so much.
• 9:30
  Like, am I doing enough?
• 9:31
  But that's when like,
• 9:32
  even through the whole quarterfinals,
• 9:34
  I didn't look at Instagram.
• 9:35
  I didn't scroll.
• 9:36
  I did make a couple posts,
• 9:38
  but just for the sponsors
• 9:39
  that I'm just for them.
• 9:41
  And other than that,
• 9:42
  I didn't look at anybody's
• 9:44
  stuff and it was so
• 9:45
  refreshing and it made me
• 9:47
  feel like clear headed.
• 9:49
  And yeah,
• 9:51
  And honestly, yeah,
• 9:53
  I'm just happy where I'm at.
• 9:54
  And I've been doing walks, you know,
• 9:56
  like I've been going on walks.
• 9:57
  I've been being in whatever,
• 9:59
  even if I'm not able to get
• 10:00
  to the mountains.
• 10:00
  Yes,
• 10:00
  I've been doing like more of just like
• 10:03
  what makes me happy.
• 10:04
  So I think that that's just
• 10:06
  been huge this year.
• 10:07
  And, you know, not just having,
• 10:09
  it just helps me not have
• 10:11
  so much stress on myself.
• 10:14
  And I think it's funny you
• 10:16
  bring up Instagram, right?
• 10:17
  I think the penalties showed us
• 10:20
  that you can show the world your best reps,
• 10:25
  and that's not necessarily the truth.
• 10:26
  Yeah.
• 10:29
  Right?
• 10:29
  Yeah.
• 10:30
  That became very evident
• 10:31
  during penalty week.
• 10:33
  And I'm not going to name the person,
• 10:37
  but someone was penalized.
• 10:39
  They put out one rep of their workout.
• 10:42
  That was good?
• 10:44
  That was good.
• 10:46
  They put out the email they
• 10:48
  got from CrossFit.
• 10:51
  CrossFit says in the email, Rep 6,
• 10:55
  if you want to go back and look,
• 10:57
  was a rep that is what
• 10:58
  we're trying to see.
• 11:00
  And when you go back and
• 11:01
  listen to the post of the rep,
• 11:03
  you can hear the judge go, 6?
• 11:08
  So that's the one CrossFit
• 11:10
  said you did really well,
• 11:11
  and that's what you're posting to say,
• 11:12
  see, I did great.
• 11:13
  And that's the one that you're showing.
• 11:15
  Yeah.
• 11:16
  yeah that's what exactly
• 11:18
  it's a highlight reel and I
• 11:20
  i just that's funny you say
• 11:22
  that because today I saw
• 11:24
  someone's post I can't
• 11:26
  remember who it was and it
• 11:27
  was like all like a couple
• 11:28
  or maybe like one good rep
• 11:30
  and it was like the last
• 11:31
  rep and I was like that's a
• 11:33
  great rep but like again
• 11:34
  we're just showing the good
• 11:36
  rep right and I like when
• 11:37
  you and tristan I like when
• 11:39
  you said to tristan
• 11:41
  Like,
• 11:41
  why aren't these people showing their
• 11:43
  full videos then?
• 11:44
  You know, like, let's see the video then.
• 11:46
  So then we can see, you know, like,
• 11:48
  I want to believe you,
• 11:50
  but I want to also see the rest.
• 11:52
  Because I got a penalty too.
• 11:54
  And I know for a fact, like,
• 11:57
  I know for a fact that
• 11:58
  there was maybe like one or two that
• 12:01
  maybe were soft, but it was, you know,
• 12:04
  like when you get tired
• 12:05
  with that movement,
• 12:06
  you're standing on the box
• 12:08
  and your head is down
• 12:09
  because you don't want to biff it.
• 12:10
  But I had my boss and Amanda
• 12:13
  both coached me on, I had, I did,
• 12:15
  I redid that one twice or I
• 12:17
  redid that one once.
• 12:19
  And both people were like, look up,
• 12:21
  look up the whole time.
• 12:22
  They re like,
• 12:23
  they care about where I'm going.
• 12:25
  You know, they want to see me at the game.
• 12:27
  So that's my other thing was like,
• 12:30
  getting judges to come from
• 12:32
  wherever they don't know me
• 12:33
  they don't I feel like
• 12:34
  they're not gonna yell at
• 12:35
  me like my my best friend
• 12:37
  who wants me in the entire
• 12:39
  world to get to the games
• 12:40
  you know what I mean they
• 12:41
  both were hard asses on me
• 12:43
  they were like look up open
• 12:45
  up your hips locked out or
• 12:47
  whatever you know like I
• 12:48
  knew they were yelling at
• 12:49
  me the whole workout and
• 12:50
  I'd be like yeah okay crap
• 12:51
  at the top of the box okay
• 12:53
  yeah like you know well you
• 12:57
  got a penalty but it was not a major
• 13:00
  No, it was, I got one point taken off,
• 13:02
  which was great.
• 13:03
  And yeah,
• 13:04
  like I'm really grateful for that,
• 13:06
  but I also know that I move well as well.
• 13:09
  But I mean,
• 13:10
  I'm not saying that the people
• 13:11
  that got major don't move
• 13:12
  well and they didn't, maybe they,
• 13:15
  all their reps were good.
• 13:16
  I don't know.
• 13:17
  Right.
• 13:17
  Like we're not seeing the videos come out.
• 13:19
  So I have no idea.
• 13:21
  And I'm not asking you to say it,
• 13:22
  but I will say if I was
• 13:25
  caught doing something wrong and
• 13:30
  and I had a video evidence
• 13:31
  that I did it right,
• 13:34
  the first thing I would do
• 13:35
  would plead my case showing
• 13:38
  the video that shows me doing it right.
• 13:40
  Yeah, for sure.
• 13:42
  If I'm in a court of law and
• 13:43
  someone says I stole
• 13:44
  something and I have a
• 13:46
  video showing me off in the corner,
• 13:47
  nowhere near the item that was stolen,
• 13:49
  I'm showing the video.
• 13:51
  Yep.
• 13:53
  I think so too.
• 13:57
  That's my little soapbox for the night.
• 14:01
  We're getting heated over here.
• 14:04
  It is going well.
• 14:06
  You're taking walks.
• 14:07
  You're getting outside the gym,
• 14:10
  getting off social media
• 14:11
  during events to kind of
• 14:15
  have the right people in
• 14:16
  your ear is what you're doing.
• 14:18
  Yeah.
• 14:21
  So...
• 14:23
  You go into quarterfinals.
• 14:27
  You place better than you've
• 14:30
  ever placed going into semis.
• 14:34
  Right?
• 14:36
  How do you then... Now
• 14:37
  you're hearing the penalty stuff.
• 14:40
  How long did it take for you
• 14:41
  to get validated on those
• 14:43
  first two workouts?
• 14:46
  It took...
• 14:52
  I don't know.
• 14:52
  It was all a blur, man.
• 14:54
  But obviously like I got the one,
• 14:56
  the one penalty.
• 14:59
  And then it says,
• 15:01
  once you get that penalty,
• 15:03
  it's validated.
• 15:04
  So that was good.
• 15:05
  And then number two,
• 15:09
  what was the number two?
• 15:10
  Oh, that gross one.
• 15:12
  It took a while.
• 15:13
  And that's why I was like, Oh my gosh,
• 15:14
  let's get going.
• 15:15
  But, um, yeah, I don't know.
• 15:20
  I think it was all a blur.
• 15:21
  The whole thing took way too
• 15:23
  long because obviously, you know,
• 15:25
  I messaged you about four,
• 15:27
  putting in my score wrong.
• 15:29
  So the thing was,
• 15:31
  once they changed that score,
• 15:33
  it said modified.
• 15:35
  So it's purple.
• 15:35
  It says modified.
• 15:37
  But then it also says
• 15:39
  this... We can still review this.
• 15:44
  And if you have penalties,
• 15:45
  we can still put penalties on this.
• 15:47
  So I had a whole...
• 15:49
  little thing written
• 15:50
  underneath then one and two
• 15:52
  get submitted and I get the
• 15:53
  little modified on my
• 15:55
  number one right from the
• 15:56
  one penalty but that one
• 15:59
  just said modified there
• 16:00
  wasn't a little writing
• 16:02
  underneath of it right so
• 16:04
  when I'm waiting for three
• 16:06
  and four to get done I'm
• 16:08
  sitting there just like oh
• 16:09
  what's like I don't know if
• 16:11
  I'm validated or not
• 16:12
  because this one is staying purple and
• 16:15
  and modified the whole time.
• 16:16
  And it's still like that.
• 16:18
  So I had to wait until the very last,
• 16:20
  until the next day when
• 16:22
  they had posted leaderboard
• 16:24
  is good because I, you know,
• 16:26
  they weren't changing it.
• 16:27
  So it was actually a little bit of a mind.
• 16:32
  How much,
• 16:32
  how much weight was lifted off
• 16:34
  your shoulder when the
• 16:35
  leaderboard closed?
• 16:37
  Oh,
• 16:37
  so much instantly messaged my like Jake.
• 16:42
  tristan amanda I'm like
• 16:44
  let's go we're going to
• 16:45
  semis we're going to
• 16:46
  universal studios after
• 16:47
  semis priorities right oh
• 16:52
  yeah so so you've been
• 16:58
  you've been at this for a
• 16:58
  little bit of time you're
• 17:01
  you're going into semis in
• 17:03
  the best position you've
• 17:05
  ever done before you're
• 17:06
  going in in six in the sixth spot
• 17:10
  You're starting the weekend
• 17:11
  in that heat with all the big dogs.
• 17:19
  How much confidence does that give you?
• 17:21
  I mean, it gives me,
• 17:27
  it definitely gives me some
• 17:29
  confidence because even if
• 17:31
  there wasn't penalties,
• 17:32
  I was still in ninth, you know,
• 17:33
  and like I still am in that top 10.
• 17:35
  So it's not like just
• 17:36
  because of the penalties,
• 17:38
  like I moved up.
• 17:40
  so much you know what I mean
• 17:41
  so like I'm still like
• 17:43
  that's what really gave me
• 17:45
  more confidence as being
• 17:46
  like even if I was still
• 17:48
  ninth I'm still top 10 and
• 17:50
  like I'm just so proud of
• 17:52
  myself for that you know
• 17:53
  like yeah I redid a couple
• 17:57
  and I think I think I'm
• 17:58
  learning a lot as an
• 18:01
  athlete this year because
• 18:02
  we did like better
• 18:03
  strategies and I've never
• 18:05
  really been like a strategy
• 18:06
  person I've literally just
• 18:07
  been like let's go in and
• 18:08
  see what happens
• 18:10
  and just do the fitness you
• 18:12
  know and I kind of played
• 18:14
  around with strategies this
• 18:15
  time and like it went
• 18:17
  really well I felt like
• 18:19
  Brent Fikowski like I felt
• 18:20
  like I needed to put on
• 18:21
  some little glasses and be
• 18:22
  like wow science like
• 18:24
  what's going on over here
• 18:25
  you know but yeah it just
• 18:27
  felt really good to be able
• 18:29
  to do that and I yeah I
• 18:31
  have a lot of confidence
• 18:32
  going in but obviously like
• 18:35
  it doesn't mean that I'm
• 18:36
  going to make the games.
• 18:37
  I just, I'm so like,
• 18:39
  I'm just confident in
• 18:40
  myself and I've never been
• 18:41
  able to really say that about myself.
• 18:43
  I mean, you know that over time,
• 18:45
  like I lacked confidence a lot and yeah,
• 18:48
  it's just,
• 18:49
  it's really nice to feel that
• 18:51
  about myself, you know?
• 18:52
  So how long have you been with Tristan?
• 18:58
  I mean, obviously over a year.
• 19:02
  Yeah.
• 19:02
  It's been just, just over,
• 19:05
  A year, I want to say.
• 19:07
  So last season, was it right after TFX?
• 19:11
  You were part of the group
• 19:11
  that jumped in right after TFX?
• 19:15
  I want to say so, yeah.
• 19:18
  I might have been in a
• 19:19
  little bit before because I
• 19:20
  remember Kelly going to TFX
• 19:24
  and winning it.
• 19:25
  Okay.
• 19:28
  But you hadn't been with them a ton.
• 19:32
  No.
• 19:32
  I was working for them first.
• 19:35
  And then I decided because
• 19:36
  they had mentioned, hey,
• 19:37
  you can do our programming if you want.
• 19:39
  And I was kind of like in la la land,
• 19:41
  just had broke up with my other coach.
• 19:43
  And then Jake was programming for me.
• 19:46
  And then, yeah,
• 19:47
  I was kind of just like up in the air,
• 19:48
  like, oh,
• 19:49
  should Jake still program for me?
• 19:51
  He has to go firefighting.
• 19:52
  Like, it's not going to be like, you know,
• 19:54
  he has a lot on his plate.
• 19:56
  And so then I was like, hey, yeah,
• 19:57
  why not?
• 19:58
  Let's try it.
• 20:00
  So you weren't with him a
• 20:02
  lot at that point through last season.
• 20:06
  And there has to be some
• 20:07
  athlete coach trust.
• 20:10
  Is your trust in Tristan this year?
• 20:13
  Because he is a very strategy heavy coach.
• 20:17
  Yeah.
• 20:17
  Yeah.
• 20:19
  And that's a development
• 20:20
  that you've gotten over the last year.
• 20:22
  How much has your trust in
• 20:24
  him grown to be able to
• 20:28
  talk it out and come up
• 20:29
  with those strategies?
• 20:31
  Yeah, it's grown a lot.
• 20:33
  I mean, I feel like going into it,
• 20:36
  I'm just like a very,
• 20:37
  I like trust people until...
• 20:39
  they show me otherwise so
• 20:40
  I've always like put that
• 20:41
  trust in him but it's even
• 20:44
  it's grown so much that
• 20:45
  even the fact that like we
• 20:47
  learned so much from last
• 20:48
  year and he even said those
• 20:51
  things before they came out
• 20:52
  of my mouth and so then
• 20:53
  that just you know pushed
• 20:55
  that trust even more that I
• 20:57
  was like okay he is seeing
• 20:59
  what I need as an athlete
• 21:00
  and he's understanding what
• 21:01
  I need as an athlete like
• 21:03
  you can only know that by
• 21:04
  learning right so I mean
• 21:07
  whatever,
• 21:08
  even if we made mistakes along the way,
• 21:10
  he's,
• 21:10
  he's seen everything and he knows
• 21:13
  all the things that I need.
• 21:14
  So the trust just builds
• 21:16
  every time that he brings
• 21:18
  up something like, Oh, Hey,
• 21:19
  we need to do this because
• 21:21
  I saw this in you or whatever.
• 21:23
  Right.
• 21:23
  So it's like, it's always growing,
• 21:25
  but it's definitely built
• 21:26
  so much since we started.
• 21:28
  But again, like I've,
• 21:29
  I put all my trust in him
• 21:31
  and it's only been growing since then.
• 21:33
  So yeah, I'm just so grateful for him.
• 21:37
  So just to catch up on a couple chats,
• 21:39
  Kenneth is like Super Mario Land?
• 21:41
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  Me, Jake, and then our best friends,
• 21:45
  Amanda and Mikey,
• 21:46
  we're going to Super Mario Land.
• 21:48
  We all play Super Mario,
• 21:49
  so we're just so excited.
• 21:51
  And Harry Potter Land.
• 21:54
  Wad Zombie,
• 21:55
  excited to see Hattie and Carson.
• 22:00
  So now you're going to Texas
• 22:04
  like next week?
• 22:06
  Yeah, on Sunday.
• 22:08
  So you're going to get a
• 22:09
  week with your coach.
• 22:12
  How important is that to get
• 22:14
  that time going into semis?
• 22:17
  Yeah, it's super important.
• 22:19
  And I think even just for...
• 22:21
  again,
• 22:21
  like my confidence and just being
• 22:23
  there with everybody,
• 22:25
  it's definitely going to be amazing.
• 22:27
  I mean,
• 22:28
  I had such an amazing time living
• 22:30
  there last year.
• 22:31
  Um,
• 22:32
  and it was just good for him to see me
• 22:34
  and again,
• 22:35
  like build that trust in person.
• 22:37
  So it's just,
• 22:38
  it's going to be huge for him
• 22:39
  to be able to like actually
• 22:41
  see me train rather than
• 22:42
  send videos or whatever.
• 22:44
  Right.
• 22:44
  Or just like the type,
• 22:45
  the texting that I send him
• 22:48
  every day on how workouts went.
• 22:50
  Right.
• 22:51
  Because he even said,
• 22:52
  I need to see your body
• 22:53
  language when you're working out.
• 22:56
  And I don't really think of
• 22:57
  that until he said that.
• 22:58
  And he actually just said that today.
• 22:59
  And I was like, oh, yeah.
• 23:00
  Because you can tell him one
• 23:03
  thing that you're feeling one way.
• 23:04
  But if he's seeing it firsthand,
• 23:07
  then he'll learn a little
• 23:09
  bit more every time he sees
• 23:10
  me do a workout, right?
• 23:11
  Yeah.
• 23:13
  Yeah.
• 23:14
  So you're going to spend a
• 23:15
  week there and then you'll,
• 23:16
  you'll be able to take all this,
• 23:18
  the little things you learn
• 23:20
  there and take it back for
• 23:21
  a couple of weeks before semi-start.
• 23:24
  Yeah.
• 23:26
  Um, I got some advice for you here too.
• 23:29
  Um, the lines will be atrocious.
• 23:32
  Um,
• 23:34
  you have to reserve time slots at Mario.
• 23:37
  So we're thinking about getting the VIP.
• 23:40
  My friend was actually just
• 23:41
  telling me it's a lot,
• 23:42
  but we're thinking of doing
• 23:44
  it because you get valet parking,
• 23:46
  you get breakfast, you get lunch.
• 23:48
  They take you to the Harry
• 23:50
  Potter shop and give you free wands.
• 23:54
  Wow.
• 23:57
  I used to be a Disney guy
• 23:59
  and we went a bunch when my
• 24:00
  daughter was small.
• 24:03
  And we did all that stuff.
• 24:04
  We did all the VIP just to
• 24:06
  make the experience easier on us.
• 24:08
  But Wads Army says it would be worth it.
• 24:12
  Yeah.
• 24:13
  I think so too.
• 24:16
  Okay.
• 24:16
  So it's been your goal all
• 24:19
  along to make the games.
• 24:22
  You do this to make the games.
• 24:24
  Yes.
• 24:26
  Is this the best year you
• 24:29
  feel ready for that?
• 24:33
  I mean, I want to say yes,
• 24:36
  but it's also like,
• 24:38
  I thought last year was
• 24:42
  there was a bird on my car.
• 24:44
  I thought last year was that year.
• 24:45
  I thought picking up my life
• 24:46
  and moving it was that year
• 24:48
  because I was so fit last year.
• 24:50
  But I think mentally, yes, for sure.
• 24:54
  Physically,
• 24:54
  I think we're making our way up for sure.
• 24:58
  Like it's hard to kind of tell when.
• 24:59
  I don't know.
• 25:02
  I do feel just as fit physically,
• 25:05
  but mentally, yes,
• 25:07
  I feel I feel so much more
• 25:09
  like relaxed this year.
• 25:12
  Last year I interviewed you
• 25:14
  day two at semis.
• 25:18
  Yeah.
• 25:18
  And you said to me after day one, you,
• 25:21
  you had like a talk with
• 25:22
  yourself that you weren't being Hattie.
• 25:25
  Yeah.
• 25:26
  You, you had gotten out of your own,
• 25:29
  what your own comfort level was,
• 25:31
  what you needed to be and
• 25:34
  tried to be something else.
• 25:36
  Do you have the tools now
• 25:38
  and are you equipped to use
• 25:40
  them if you feel yourself
• 25:42
  going down a bad path?
• 25:45
  Yeah, I think so.
• 25:46
  And a lot of that is just like, honestly,
• 25:49
  my best friend Amanda has been really,
• 25:51
  really amazing for that.
• 25:52
  Cause she can see it in me a
• 25:54
  lot of the times and feel
• 25:56
  like put me in check.
• 25:59
  And so I think,
• 26:00
  and then Jake also has been
• 26:02
  really good in that sense too,
• 26:03
  where he's just like,
• 26:05
  even with the social media stuff,
• 26:07
  he's like, you don't need that.
• 26:08
  Cause it just like brings you down.
• 26:09
  Right.
• 26:10
  And it does.
• 26:11
  And like,
• 26:12
  I'm trying to switch that in the
• 26:14
  sense of like,
• 26:15
  if I see someone else working harder,
• 26:17
  I'm trying to change my mindset in,
• 26:19
  in the sense of I'm so
• 26:20
  proud of that person.
• 26:21
  Like that person is so amazing.
• 26:23
  And that's great that
• 26:24
  they're doing that rather
• 26:25
  than let it get me down in
• 26:27
  the sense of being like, Oh no,
• 26:28
  am I working hard enough?
• 26:30
  You know, like
• 26:31
  thinking I'm not doing
• 26:32
  enough being like that
• 26:33
  person is doing great right
• 26:36
  and just switching it into
• 26:37
  a more positive mindset so
• 26:40
  that's why I say like my
• 26:41
  mindset is a lot stronger I
• 26:43
  would say because yes I am
• 26:45
  just focusing on what I
• 26:47
  need more this year and so
• 26:50
  I think I I would say yes I
• 26:53
  have the tools um obviously
• 26:55
  like we'll see when semis
• 26:57
  comes because something
• 26:58
  crazy could happen and
• 27:00
  Of course, it's going to get you down,
• 27:01
  but it's about getting back up.
• 27:03
  You know what I mean?
• 27:04
  It's how hard you can get up,
• 27:06
  how fast you can get up and
• 27:08
  move on and learn for the next event.
• 27:13
  Yeah.
• 27:15
  It's funny.
• 27:16
  What's the saying?
• 27:18
  Comparison is the thief of joy.
• 27:19
  Yeah, it really is.
• 27:24
  And, um, you know,
• 27:25
  I was talking to Gabby and
• 27:26
  like two hours ago,
• 27:28
  whatever it says now it's all blur today.
• 27:31
  And she was saying a water Palooza,
• 27:33
  like she's walking through
• 27:34
  vendor village and like,
• 27:35
  it's not her face on the
• 27:37
  posters and you know,
• 27:39
  like it's not even social media.
• 27:41
  It's, it's,
• 27:42
  it comes at you from all
• 27:43
  different angles.
• 27:44
  Oh yeah.
• 27:47
  Um, it's crazy because
• 27:50
  even if you are the happiest,
• 27:52
  most positive person,
• 27:53
  it's stuff like that.
• 27:54
  That could be like, Oh crap.
• 27:56
  Like I'm working hard too.
• 27:58
  Like this is so dumb,
• 28:00
  but I listened to the
• 28:02
  Savant podcast a lot.
• 28:03
  And like,
• 28:04
  they were talking about how all
• 28:06
  the penalties,
• 28:06
  there's not going to be all
• 28:07
  these great people going to semis.
• 28:09
  And then they're like, Oh,
• 28:10
  it's just going to be a
• 28:11
  bunch of these nobodies.
• 28:12
  And to me, I'm like, you know what?
• 28:14
  That's for one.
• 28:15
  That's, I don't know.
• 28:17
  That's so crazy to say because like,
• 28:19
  the people that they are like, loving,
• 28:22
  they once didn't really
• 28:24
  have a name either, you know, so like,
• 28:26
  maybe they'll love these
• 28:27
  new faces that are coming up, you know.
• 28:30
  And so it's crazy to say that.
• 28:31
  But then in my aspect, I was like,
• 28:34
  you know what, don't let that get to you.
• 28:35
  Because who cares?
• 28:37
  Right?
• 28:38
  I need to just go out and do
• 28:39
  my best and have fun.
• 28:41
  And if I have a great
• 28:43
  team with me you know like
• 28:46
  I'm here talking to you I
• 28:47
  love you I'm you know my
• 28:49
  best friend is coming with
• 28:50
  me my boyfriend is coming
• 28:51
  with me those people matter
• 28:54
  and it's not this you know
• 28:56
  these podcasts or what
• 28:57
  these other people are
• 28:58
  saying around you you know
• 29:00
  like all those little
• 29:02
  freaking voices coming at
• 29:03
  you being like ah you're
• 29:05
  this you're this you know
• 29:06
  it's just none of that matters
• 29:10
  So Kenneth says you got some
• 29:11
  love and shout outs in the
• 29:12
  comments during that Sevan segment.
• 29:16
  Oh, thanks.
• 29:16
  He did say my bar muscle ups
• 29:19
  were good on the last one that I watched.
• 29:20
  And I was like, thanks Sevan.
• 29:22
  But then Hiller shut it down by saying,
• 29:23
  I'm not making it to the game.
• 29:27
  So here's,
• 29:29
  I'm going to give you some facts, right?
• 29:31
  And this happens all the time in sport.
• 29:33
  And all this noise comes out
• 29:35
  that there's all these penalties.
• 29:36
  And oh my gosh,
• 29:37
  the sky is falling and
• 29:38
  we're losing all the good
• 29:39
  athletes and blah, blah, blah.
• 29:41
  Yeah.
• 29:42
  And I said this yesterday on
• 29:43
  Coffee Pods and Wads.
• 29:44
  I was on their game show.
• 29:46
  At the end of the day,
• 29:48
  after all the dust settled,
• 29:49
  we lost five former games athletes.
• 29:52
  Yeah.
• 29:53
  Only one finished in the top 10.
• 29:56
  One, their highest finish was 15th.
• 29:59
  Two never made a cut,
• 30:02
  and one hasn't been there since 2020.
• 30:06
  So really, at the end of the day,
• 30:07
  what did we lose?
• 30:09
  If Paige Powers isn't one of the people,
• 30:12
  nobody cares.
• 30:16
  Yeah.
• 30:17
  That's it.
• 30:18
  Yeah.
• 30:19
  And so all these people are
• 30:20
  like up in arms, oh my gosh,
• 30:22
  the sky is falling.
• 30:24
  It didn't fall.
• 30:25
  The people that move well got through.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:28
  Yeah.
• 30:30
  Yeah, I agree.
• 30:31
  I mean, it is what it is.
• 30:34
  I think the online
• 30:36
  competition is just like a
• 30:38
  little bit skewed and kind
• 30:39
  of hard to do anyway.
• 30:40
  But I mean, we have to,
• 30:42
  we just have to deal with what,
• 30:46
  what we're given and
• 30:47
  honestly we all complained
• 30:49
  about not being hard enough
• 30:50
  and then the second they're
• 30:51
  hard then we complain again
• 30:54
  I'm just like no it's
• 30:56
  called they're trying to
• 30:58
  listen to us and actually
• 30:59
  do the thing I mean I get
• 31:01
  that it's tough but like I
• 31:04
  just I'm over the
• 31:05
  complaining and I'm ready
• 31:07
  to just go have some fun on
• 31:09
  the on the floor so okay so
• 31:14
  on the floor we're back to the floor
• 31:16
  You're going to start the
• 31:17
  weekend in the last heat.
• 31:22
  You're going to look down
• 31:23
  the line and there's Ariel
• 31:25
  Loewen and Alex Kazan and Emily Rolfe,
• 31:28
  you know,
• 31:29
  multiple time CrossFit Games competitors.
• 31:33
  How does Hattie stay in her lane?
• 31:35
  That's tough.
• 31:42
  I got to stay in my lane by...
• 31:46
  by realizing that I deserve to be there.
• 31:49
  And my motto lately is that
• 31:53
  I am capable because I am, you know,
• 31:57
  and I am enough and I am capable.
• 32:00
  Again,
• 32:00
  it doesn't matter what the noises
• 32:03
  are happening around me.
• 32:05
  I'm with these girls and
• 32:07
  I've been with them for a few years now.
• 32:09
  So obviously like I can do the thing.
• 32:13
  And honestly,
• 32:14
  like the mindset part of it
• 32:16
  is the most crucial part.
• 32:19
  So I just need to get out
• 32:20
  there and be grateful where
• 32:22
  I am and just do the thing
• 32:24
  that I know best.
• 32:25
  And that's just, you know,
• 32:28
  getting a little dark maybe on the,
• 32:30
  on the fitness floor, but you know,
• 32:32
  having a straight head and yeah,
• 32:36
  doing the best that I can do out there.
• 32:39
  Is it going to be tough to
• 32:40
  keep the blinders on?
• 32:42
  I think so.
• 32:43
  Like even last year,
• 32:44
  it was like the very last event.
• 32:49
  I remember Bailey Rail was
• 32:51
  right beside me and it was
• 32:52
  the Echo Bike Toast Bar Sandbag.
• 32:56
  And like right away, I was like, OK, yeah,
• 32:59
  in my own lane, whatever.
• 33:00
  But on the Echo Bike,
• 33:01
  she was just freaking going, man.
• 33:04
  And I was at like 70 RPM.
• 33:06
  she was like,
• 33:08
  we were both pretty well the
• 33:09
  same on the same or on the
• 33:10
  first round and then toes to bar,
• 33:14
  whatever.
• 33:14
  That's when we got back to the bike,
• 33:16
  she held the pace every time.
• 33:18
  And that's where I kind of
• 33:20
  started getting down on myself.
• 33:21
  Where's like, why can't I hold onto this?
• 33:23
  Like,
• 33:23
  why is she so insane on the bike over
• 33:26
  there?
• 33:27
  Right.
• 33:27
  So it is hard, but I like, I learned that.
• 33:31
  And now I need to just,
• 33:33
  especially when it comes to
• 33:34
  that last event,
• 33:36
  that's where I need to keep
• 33:37
  my head on straight the most.
• 33:39
  So it might be hard,
• 33:41
  but I'm going to do my best, you know,
• 33:43
  on keeping the blinders on
• 33:44
  and focusing on me.
• 33:45
  Yeah.
• 33:48
  So Sarah Cooper says hello.
• 33:49
  She is our resident Canadian in the chat.
• 33:54
  And I think this is the
• 33:55
  first time I've seen her today.
• 33:57
  I've had three Canadians on
• 33:58
  my show and she's just now showing up.
• 34:02
  You're lagging behind.
• 34:04
  You guys stick together.
• 34:08
  Just kidding.
• 34:09
  Just happy you're here, Sarah.
• 34:12
  So this year,
• 34:16
  it's going to be a unique
• 34:17
  experience at semifinals.
• 34:19
  You're going to be in Carson,
• 34:21
  the epic tennis stadium.
• 34:25
  It's been around forever.
• 34:27
  You're going to be out there
• 34:27
  on the floor that was...
• 34:32
  that all those great
• 34:33
  athletes were in the past
• 34:35
  and you're going to get a
• 34:36
  uniform this year.
• 34:39
  Like that's pretty cool.
• 34:41
  Yeah.
• 34:43
  Yeah.
• 34:43
  I think I thought that was
• 34:45
  really cool that they're doing that.
• 34:47
  Um, am I going to wear it?
• 34:48
  I'm not sure yet.
• 34:49
  We'll see.
• 34:51
  We'll see how it looks with my fleo.
• 34:53
  Well, whether you wear it or not,
• 34:55
  it's a memento for sure.
• 34:57
  Yeah.
• 34:58
  It shows like you made this
• 35:00
  accomplishment.
• 35:01
  Yeah.
• 35:02
  Um, wad zombie said, uh,
• 35:04
  Sarah was probably too busy
• 35:05
  shoveling her driveway or something.
• 35:07
  Cause wad zombie thinks like
• 35:08
  it's always snowing in Canada.
• 35:10
  I mean, it pretty much is right now.
• 35:13
  It's raining right now,
• 35:14
  but it was snowing this morning.
• 35:15
  So stupid.
• 35:18
  Uh, Sarah's where Sarah's at.
• 35:19
  It's actually beautiful and sunny.
• 35:22
  So I think she's like
• 35:24
  central Canada today.
• 35:28
  Oh, wad zombie.
• 35:29
  Yeah.
• 35:29
  Where are you?
• 35:30
  Central Canada.
• 35:33
  i don't know so um so yeah I
• 35:39
  think like it's not easy
• 35:42
  making semifinals and I
• 35:43
  think it's cool that for
• 35:46
  once it that she uh that
• 35:51
  you all get a memento for
• 35:54
  making it like a jersey
• 35:55
  with your name on it yeah I
• 35:57
  think so too I think it'll be really cool
• 36:00
  And I love that it's in
• 36:01
  Carson because I never went
• 36:03
  to go watch the games or anything.
• 36:05
  So I think it'll be really
• 36:06
  cool to go back there or go, go there,
• 36:08
  I guess.
• 36:09
  Yeah.
• 36:09
  I've, I've,
• 36:10
  I've been a junkie since 2012
• 36:12
  and I've never been.
• 36:14
  Okay.
• 36:16
  Damn.
• 36:17
  Yeah.
• 36:18
  Why not?
• 36:19
  Just didn't make it work.
• 36:23
  Um,
• 36:26
  I don't know.
• 36:27
  I don't, I,
• 36:28
  I'd never been to California
• 36:29
  until last year.
• 36:30
  Oh, okay.
• 36:33
  So like,
• 36:34
  I don't know if it just is like
• 36:35
  the West coast was just
• 36:37
  seems so far away to me as.
• 36:39
  Yeah.
• 36:40
  Um, or what?
• 36:42
  And California just, you know,
• 36:44
  every time I would look,
• 36:45
  it was so expensive.
• 36:48
  Like to get a room, to get a flight,
• 36:50
  all that kind of stuff just
• 36:52
  seemed really hard.
• 36:54
  But Sarah Cooper is actually in Vancouver.
• 36:57
  Oh, nice.
• 36:58
  That's beside me.
• 37:01
  Yeah.
• 37:02
  So not the central.
• 37:03
  She's all the way out west.
• 37:05
  Yeah.
• 37:07
  I love BC.
• 37:10
  You're in BC?
• 37:13
  I'm in Alberta, but I love BC.
• 37:15
  Okay.
• 37:16
  Yeah.
• 37:17
  Okay.
• 37:19
  I thought I was up on the
• 37:22
  Canadian geography.
• 37:23
  Now I'm gone.
• 37:26
  British Columbia, British Columbia,
• 37:27
  then Alberta.
• 37:29
  And then the rest is history.
• 37:30
  Those are the only two that count.
• 37:32
  No, I'm just kidding.
• 37:34
  Gotcha.
• 37:35
  Okay.
• 37:35
  So like Alberta is like Calgary.
• 37:38
  Yeah.
• 37:38
  That's right.
• 37:39
  And then Vancouver is British Columbia.
• 37:42
  Yeah.
• 37:44
  Okay.
• 37:45
  So, okay.
• 37:48
  I know the big cities.
• 37:49
  Yeah.
• 37:50
  Olympic place.
• 37:52
  Yep.
• 37:53
  Exactly.
• 37:54
  The TV shows from Hallmark are filmed.
• 37:56
  okay didn't know that um and
• 38:02
  sarah says yeah no one
• 38:03
  cares about the rest no uh
• 38:09
  so I want to be in I want
• 38:11
  to be in carson this year I
• 38:13
  just don't know yet I've
• 38:14
  not been approved for media
• 38:15
  credentials um yeah what is
• 38:18
  up with that it it's
• 38:22
  I haven't said it publicly on the air,
• 38:23
  but CrossFit gave their
• 38:26
  approval process to the event organizers.
• 38:29
  So instead of getting
• 38:31
  approval from CrossFit,
• 38:33
  I have to get it from Loud and Live.
• 38:35
  And I have to get it from
• 38:37
  the 12 Labors crew for Knoxville.
• 38:40
  And they're running independently,
• 38:42
  so I've seen nothing from anybody.
• 38:46
  Not even an answer of like, hey,
• 38:49
  we'll get back to you.
• 38:51
  Yeah, I've seen the, hey,
• 38:52
  we'll get back to you.
• 38:53
  And then, oh, hey,
• 38:55
  we're passing it off on the
• 38:56
  event organizers.
• 38:57
  Okay.
• 39:00
  Well, I'm crossing my fingers for you.
• 39:02
  Oh, this year's also been, the preface was,
• 39:05
  hey,
• 39:05
  we're not going to have as many as we
• 39:07
  used to.
• 39:08
  So don't assume because you
• 39:10
  got them in the past,
• 39:11
  you're going to get them now.
• 39:13
  No, so don't hold your breath.
• 39:14
  It's like, come on.
• 39:17
  But I have really good
• 39:20
  reputation with CrossFit.
• 39:22
  yeah it's just if they were
• 39:24
  the ones making the
• 39:25
  decision I'd be pretty
• 39:27
  confident yeah check yeah
• 39:31
  well I'm crossing my
• 39:33
  fingers I'm live at
• 39:34
  waterpalooza one year you
• 39:37
  what I had a run-in with
• 39:38
  the loud and live
• 39:39
  communications person oh um
• 39:43
  in waterpalooza one year so
• 39:45
  that's why I don't know
• 39:47
  Oh no.
• 39:48
  I'm a really laid back guy,
• 39:50
  but I don't like being
• 39:51
  taken advantage of.
• 39:52
  Oh, for sure.
• 39:54
  That's fair.
• 39:54
  Do I need to hold and you punch?
• 39:59
  I lose my shit and then it just,
• 40:00
  everything blows up.
• 40:02
  Yeah, that's fair.
• 40:04
  I mean,
• 40:06
  take being taken advantage of is not fun.
• 40:09
  And I used to be that person that was like,
• 40:11
  Oh, okay.
• 40:12
  Like just so oblivious.
• 40:13
  And then I'm like,
• 40:14
  I need to stand up for myself more.
• 40:18
  Yeah.
• 40:20
  Well,
• 40:20
  Wad Zombie lives an hour from the
• 40:21
  venue and Sarah says I can
• 40:22
  sleep on Wad Zombie's couch.
• 40:24
  She did not ask him for permission,
• 40:26
  but she said I could.
• 40:29
  Yeah, that's perfect.
• 40:30
  I think you can too, Sarah.
• 40:32
  Good to go.
• 40:33
  So yeah,
• 40:35
  I'd love to be out there to watch
• 40:36
  you guys this year.
• 40:37
  I think I've become such
• 40:40
  good friends with so many
• 40:40
  people in the West.
• 40:41
  Like I, that's the group I really,
• 40:44
  really want to see this year.
• 40:45
  I hope you're out there too.
• 40:48
  Yeah.
• 40:50
  Realistic goal for the semis?
• 40:55
  Are you willing to say it publicly?
• 40:57
  Yeah, you.
• 41:00
  I mean, the goal is always the same.
• 41:03
  It's just getting to the games.
• 41:08
  Well, I have a feeling.
• 41:11
  I have a feeling.
• 41:14
  Yeah, I do too.
• 41:15
  the way I want to end this
• 41:16
  is one thing that I want to
• 41:19
  do is periodically.
• 41:22
  You are the best at 20 questions.
• 41:26
  Okay.
• 41:28
  We need to,
• 41:29
  we need to have like a periodic
• 41:30
  20 question show.
• 41:32
  Yeah, we do.
• 41:34
  I'm so down.
• 41:35
  I know we talked about it
• 41:37
  and we did one and it was awesome.
• 41:39
  Yeah.
• 41:39
  It was so much fun.
• 41:40
  Mine were all, wait,
• 41:41
  weren't mine all like so
• 41:42
  serious and yours are pretty fun.
• 41:46
  I had a mixed bag.
• 41:47
  Yeah.
• 41:48
  I had a mixed bag.
• 41:49
  Yours, yours,
• 41:50
  but yours were thinking questions.
• 41:53
  Yeah.
• 41:54
  Mine were a little deeper.
• 41:55
  Next time on, we'll be like pretty fun.
• 41:59
  A wild zombie says,
• 42:00
  what did you think about
• 42:01
  the leaked events or did
• 42:02
  she cover that already?
• 42:03
  And I don't know.
• 42:05
  They released all of them
• 42:07
  like two hours after.
• 42:08
  Yeah.
• 42:10
  And where were you?
• 42:11
  We talked about this.
• 42:12
  No, I'm super excited for them.
• 42:15
  I think they're going to be fun.
• 42:16
  Honestly, the second I saw running,
• 42:17
  I was like, yeah.
• 42:19
  I just love running.
• 42:20
  Is that your favorite thing in an event?
• 42:28
  I mean, no.
• 42:30
  I love handstand walks and bar muscle-ups,
• 42:33
  I'd probably say, in an event.
• 42:36
  You like handstand walks?
• 42:38
  Sorry?
• 42:41
  Do you like handstand walks with a row?
• 42:43
  Yeah, I saw that.
• 42:44
  I mean, I've been really working on my row,
• 42:46
  so I think it'll be still a good event.
• 42:49
  Um, yeah, we'll see about that one.
• 42:52
  I'm no matter what, I'm excited.
• 42:54
  I just,
• 42:55
  I'm trying to be like not
• 42:58
  complaining at all because
• 43:00
  I found that there's just
• 43:01
  so much complaining lately.
• 43:02
  And I'm just like, you know what?
• 43:04
  I just love everything.
• 43:05
  I love
• 43:07
  I love lamp.
• 43:08
  Like I love everything right now.
• 43:10
  I'm just excited and happy
• 43:14
  and I don't want negativity in my life.
• 43:17
  So I'm just, yeah.
• 43:19
  I hate, I usually would say I hate rowing,
• 43:22
  but I'm fricking excited for that event.
• 43:24
  And not just because the handstand walks,
• 43:26
  like I'm excited for the
• 43:27
  rowing and show off like
• 43:29
  the rowing that I've been putting on,
• 43:31
  not saying I'm going to be
• 43:31
  Emily Rolfe cause she's a
• 43:33
  rowing crazy lady,
• 43:35
  but I'm so proud of my rowing lately.
• 43:38
  So I'm just going to do the
• 43:39
  best that I can with that event.
• 43:41
  Yeah.
• 43:42
  It's nice that it's loaded
• 43:43
  with handstand walks too.
• 43:45
  Yeah, for sure.
• 43:46
  Um, so yeah,
• 43:49
  You love running.
• 43:50
  Isn't the one like five 800s?
• 43:52
  Yeah.
• 43:56
  That's a lot of running.
• 43:58
  I know.
• 43:59
  It's crazy.
• 43:59
  Because I saw 800 and then
• 44:02
  whatever it's with.
• 44:03
  And then I was like, oh, yeah.
• 44:04
  And then I looked above it.
• 44:05
  I'm like, oh, five rounds.
• 44:07
  Okay.
• 44:09
  Yeah.
• 44:09
  So you get a lot of running in.
• 44:11
  Yeah.
• 44:13
  The runner is awesome.
• 44:14
  I love the runner.
• 44:18
  I wish I could figure it out.
• 44:21
  It either,
• 44:21
  I either go too slow or when I
• 44:23
  try to pick up the speed,
• 44:25
  I go to like supersonic.
• 44:29
  And when you go too fast,
• 44:30
  it's a little bit scary
• 44:31
  where you're just like,
• 44:33
  I think I'm going to slam onto my face.
• 44:36
  Yeah.
• 44:38
  Funny thing happened to me yesterday.
• 44:39
  I was on that show with
• 44:40
  coffee pods and wads and
• 44:42
  Adam Klink was one of the
• 44:44
  contestants with me and he
• 44:46
  is like the CEO of rad now.
• 44:49
  Okay.
• 44:50
  I think, um,
• 44:51
  I know he works for rad and I
• 44:53
  think it's CEO.
• 44:55
  Um,
• 44:56
  I made fun of him because I actually
• 44:57
  literally five days ago,
• 44:59
  I went on to buy a pair of
• 45:00
  running shoes and they were
• 45:03
  out of stock and,
• 45:07
  and he was talking about
• 45:08
  how great their shoes are.
• 45:09
  I'm like, yeah, great.
• 45:10
  If they're in stock, like I can't.
• 45:13
  So after the show,
• 45:14
  he DM to me and he's hooking me up.
• 45:17
  nice yeah you just gotta jab
• 45:20
  them a little bit so I'm uh
• 45:23
  I've been my goal is to get
• 45:25
  out running again this
• 45:27
  summer and fall um I used
• 45:30
  to do it a lot and I I've
• 45:32
  kind of when my back went
• 45:33
  bad I kind of stopped but I
• 45:36
  um I just want to go do it
• 45:38
  again and prove to myself
• 45:39
  that I can hell yeah it's such a
• 45:42
  I don't know.
• 45:43
  I really love it because I
• 45:44
  get the runner's high a lot.
• 45:45
  I even got the runner's high
• 45:46
  on the rower the other day,
• 45:47
  and I was like, damn, this feels good.
• 45:49
  But I just love it, especially outdoors,
• 45:52
  because you can just go
• 45:53
  wherever you want.
• 45:55
  On a treadmill, whatever, it's okay.
• 45:57
  But yeah,
• 45:58
  it feels empowering when you can
• 46:00
  just take your body wherever you want.
• 46:05
  Lynn Najiri says,
• 46:06
  and the spicy bike muscle-up lunge.
• 46:09
  Yeah, that one will be sick, too.
• 46:12
  I'm interested to know what
• 46:13
  the dumbbell is going to be though.
• 46:15
  Like overhead or can we put
• 46:16
  it on our neck?
• 46:17
  Can we put it on the side?
• 46:18
  Like, well, it's, it's two.
• 46:20
  Oh yeah.
• 46:22
  Cause I haven't looked at the, it is two.
• 46:26
  It's two.
• 46:27
  Like Chris and I talked after Tristan,
• 46:29
  I talked after we got off,
• 46:31
  we looked at it.
• 46:32
  It's two, but it doesn't, um,
• 46:35
  it doesn't say how it's too
• 46:39
  heavy to go overhead.
• 46:41
  Yeah.
• 46:42
  Cause even like Jacob,
• 46:44
  who is really strong would
• 46:45
  struggle with that overhead.
• 46:47
  Oh, for sure.
• 46:49
  Okay.
• 46:50
  So it's either like farmer
• 46:51
  carry or he said, maybe front rack.
• 46:56
  Yeah.
• 46:56
  Like if you could sit it,
• 46:57
  I don't usually like sitting it on here,
• 46:59
  but with the seventies,
• 47:01
  it might be worth doing that.
• 47:03
  Yeah.
• 47:04
  He thinks it's going to be farmer carry.
• 47:08
  So you're going to wing them for momentum.
• 47:10
  Almost.
• 47:13
  That's going to be great.
• 47:14
  Yeah.
• 47:16
  Yeah.
• 47:17
  That'll be cool.
• 47:20
  You know,
• 47:20
  they love those lunges to finish
• 47:23
  an event.
• 47:24
  Yeah.
• 47:25
  We had that in Atlas games
• 47:27
  and that was super fun.
• 47:32
  Look at me.
• 47:32
  Look at me go.
• 47:33
  I'm like after four shows today,
• 47:36
  I still pronounced Lynn's
• 47:38
  second name correctly.
• 47:42
  You're the first person to ever say, oh,
• 47:44
  that's awesome.
• 47:46
  Yeah.
• 47:49
  No GORUCK-based events at semis so far.
• 47:52
  Yeah.
• 47:54
  They're not a presenting
• 47:55
  sponsor of the semis.
• 47:58
  No, it's just the games, right?
• 48:01
  Right.
• 48:02
  The games are being
• 48:03
  sponsored by the clothing
• 48:05
  company that's doing the uniforms.
• 48:10
  That's what I was wondering.
• 48:11
  Cause I was like,
• 48:12
  how is go rock going to
• 48:13
  have the clothes like
• 48:15
  sports bras and they do.
• 48:19
  Yeah.
• 48:20
  They just signed Tia to me today too.
• 48:21
  Yeah.
• 48:22
  I saw that.
• 48:23
  So, and Emily's been with them since,
• 48:26
  and we followed her through last season.
• 48:27
  Like she talked about how
• 48:31
  she has been giving them,
• 48:33
  they've allowed her to give
• 48:34
  input into the women's attire,
• 48:36
  women's clothing.
• 48:37
  Okay.
• 48:39
  Um, so, uh, they,
• 48:42
  but her biggest thing now is like,
• 48:44
  go rock doesn't have colors.
• 48:46
  And she's like,
• 48:47
  you need to have at least
• 48:48
  pink and some other stuff.
• 48:51
  So, so go rock is doing the clothes then.
• 48:56
  Correct.
• 48:57
  For the game.
• 48:59
  That's crazy.
• 49:00
  Cause do they even have any clothes?
• 49:02
  I know they have shoes, right?
• 49:03
  They do.
• 49:03
  They have a lot of clothes.
• 49:05
  So Emily wore them at semis last year.
• 49:07
  Okay.
• 49:08
  Yeah.
• 49:10
  yeah nice yeah I think it
• 49:14
  was a like like anything in
• 49:16
  crossfit you say let's do
• 49:17
  it and then figure out how
• 49:19
  to after you've committed
• 49:20
  yeah like well we'll figure
• 49:23
  it out yeah um and lynn
• 49:29
  northern spirit is the one
• 49:30
  making the they're the
• 49:31
  presenting sponsor of the
• 49:32
  semifinals doing all the group forms
• 49:36
  So they're the main sponsor of semis.
• 49:44
  And their stuff doesn't look bad.
• 49:45
  I think the uniforms look cool.
• 49:47
  Yeah, I think they look all right.
• 49:49
  Even if you never put it on
• 49:50
  and just put it in a frame like, hey,
• 49:52
  I made it here.
• 49:53
  It's got their name on it, right?
• 49:56
  I know.
• 49:56
  I was thinking about that
• 49:57
  because I just saw my
• 49:58
  friend who's been to the game.
• 50:00
  She put one of her jerseys in a frame.
• 50:03
  I was like, that's pretty cool.
• 50:06
  I mean, you got a couple back there,
• 50:08
  right?
• 50:08
  Yeah.
• 50:09
  Yeah.
• 50:10
  So the only games,
• 50:12
  I have two games jerseys.
• 50:14
  Um, Christy who owns my gym,
• 50:17
  Christy Aramo O'Connell,
• 50:19
  that's the yellow one you can barely see.
• 50:21
  And then I, Cheryl Nassau,
• 50:23
  my nutrition coach,
• 50:24
  she has the Jersey for me.
• 50:26
  Um,
• 50:27
  and then Emily and Sydney's are water
• 50:30
  Palooza jerseys.
• 50:32
  Oh, nice.
• 50:34
  Oh yeah.
• 50:34
  I can see the little water Palooza.
• 50:39
  so yeah that's cool uh sarah
• 50:43
  asks I wonder how many
• 50:44
  people will wear them
• 50:45
  probably no one who is
• 50:46
  sponsored I would agree
• 50:47
  with that statement yeah
• 50:50
  yeah if you're they're not
• 50:51
  paying you money your
• 50:53
  sponsor is and you're gonna
• 50:56
  fulfill your obligations
• 50:57
  with them yeah 100 you have to
• 51:02
  Yeah.
• 51:02
  I mean,
• 51:03
  I know like thick boys are sponsor.
• 51:05
  Now,
• 51:06
  if I was going to semis as a media person,
• 51:09
  I'm going to wear a thick
• 51:10
  boy the entire weekend.
• 51:11
  Yeah.
• 51:12
  You're going to have it on
• 51:13
  somewhere at least.
• 51:14
  Right.
• 51:15
  Right.
• 51:15
  Cause you, cause in the corral,
• 51:17
  I want his gear to be seen.
• 51:20
  Okay.
• 51:22
  What is thick boy though?
• 51:23
  Cause I did see that you got
• 51:24
  this new sponsor, but so they're a, uh,
• 51:27
  an apparel company.
• 51:29
  Okay, cool.
• 51:30
  yeah so they made these
• 51:31
  shirts hey it's got the
• 51:34
  logo but we have a new logo
• 51:35
  too it's a it's a horse
• 51:37
  with a barbell um oh yeah
• 51:39
  that's awesome they're
• 51:41
  gonna start carrying that
• 51:42
  merch in on their website
• 51:44
  oh amazing yeah so we're
• 51:48
  super it's the one down in
• 51:49
  the bottom corner oh yeah
• 51:52
  okay oh I love that is that
• 51:58
  on his back the barbell
• 52:01
  It's on his back, yeah.
• 52:03
  Yeah, that's sick.
• 52:06
  To be honest,
• 52:07
  that's my strongest thing in
• 52:08
  CrossFit is I can back squat a house.
• 52:11
  Nice.
• 52:13
  So that's that.
• 52:15
  So that's fitting.
• 52:17
  Yeah.
• 52:18
  Even after my back surgery,
• 52:19
  I got back up to 450.
• 52:20
  Damn.
• 52:21
  Nice.
• 52:24
  And I'm in my 50s,
• 52:25
  so I take that as a win.
• 52:27
  Oh, hell yeah.
• 52:28
  That's a huge win.
• 52:29
  I love that.
• 52:32
  Um, Sarah says,
• 52:32
  hopefully they signed and give away,
• 52:35
  give the jerseys away or something.
• 52:37
  I think people are going to
• 52:38
  keep them as mementos or do just that.
• 52:41
  Yeah, I think so too.
• 52:43
  Probably some of the games
• 52:45
  people will probably sign
• 52:46
  and give them away.
• 52:48
  I bet.
• 52:49
  Yeah.
• 52:49
  I've seen a lot of athletes, even like,
• 52:53
  say a Reebok athlete is at
• 52:55
  the games and nobles, the sponsor,
• 52:57
  they would sign their noble stuff.
• 53:00
  Cause they're not going to
• 53:00
  wear it around because of
• 53:01
  the sponsorship deal.
• 53:02
  Right.
• 53:03
  So they'd sign it off for
• 53:06
  different things and such.
• 53:09
  So, yeah.
• 53:11
  I know like Christy,
• 53:13
  when Reebok was the
• 53:14
  presenting sponsor and she
• 53:15
  was a noble athlete,
• 53:17
  she would literally come
• 53:18
  into the gym with a box
• 53:20
  full of stuff and let the
• 53:22
  people at the gym take what they wanted.
• 53:25
  Oh, that's amazing.
• 53:26
  Oh, that would be nice.
• 53:30
  I'll take this and this and this.
• 53:32
  Yeah.
• 53:33
  None of it ever fit me.
• 53:34
  Just so you know.
• 53:36
  No, no, no.
• 53:39
  She's a cute little pink shorts.
• 53:43
  Yeah, she's half my height and much,
• 53:46
  much smaller.
• 53:49
  But, well, we've kept you on.
• 53:52
  I've really been trying to
• 53:53
  keep these to 30 minutes,
• 53:54
  and here we are at 54.
• 53:55
  I mean, we just love chatting, so.
• 53:59
  Yeah.
• 54:00
  Where does the time go, you know,
• 54:01
  when you're having fun?
• 54:03
  I know.
• 54:04
  I know.
• 54:06
  Well, this is the last one of the day.
• 54:08
  Thank you for finishing us strong.
• 54:10
  Of course.
• 54:11
  It was fun,
• 54:11
  and we'll definitely have to
• 54:12
  get together for some 20 questions.
• 54:14
  I love that idea.
• 54:15
  Maybe when you're not so busy.
• 54:17
  I think we should do a games edition.
• 54:19
  Okay.
• 54:22
  Some aspects of the game, some not,
• 54:25
  some...
• 54:27
  You know, they're in Texas, like,
• 54:29
  like Texas food questions,
• 54:32
  stuff like that,
• 54:32
  all based around like this year's games,
• 54:35
  20 questions,
• 54:36
  let the audience play along and, uh,
• 54:40
  and see what happens.
• 54:41
  Okay.
• 54:43
  Well, definitely brainstorm.
• 54:45
  Yeah.
• 54:45
  And you'll have to kind of
• 54:46
  get me a little bit ready
• 54:47
  for it because if it's about,
• 54:49
  I don't know,
• 54:50
  I don't know a lot of stuff sometimes.
• 54:54
  It's all good.
• 54:56
  We'll figure it out.
• 54:58
  Well, with that,
• 54:59
  thank you everybody for
• 55:00
  joining us tonight.
• 55:01
  Thank you for joining all day.
• 55:03
  You guys are the best.
• 55:04
  Got the best chat in the business.
• 55:07
  We will see everybody next
• 55:08
  time on the Clydesdale
• 55:11
  Media Semi-Finalist Series.
• 55:14
  Bye, guys.
