  What is going on everybody?
• 0:16
  Welcome to the Clydesdale media podcast.
• 0:41
  And we're so pumped to have
• 0:42
  today the North America
• 0:44
  West semifinal champion and
• 0:47
  two-time CrossFit Games athlete,
• 0:49
  Abby Domet with us.
• 0:50
  What's going on, Abby?
• 0:52
  Nothing much.
• 0:53
  Just here enjoying my Sunday,
• 0:55
  talking to you.
• 0:56
  How are you?
• 0:58
  I'm good.
• 0:59
  I'm good.
• 0:59
  It's so much fun.
• 1:01
  You know, we talked to you years ago now.
• 1:06
  in our semifinal series.
• 1:08
  And to watch your
• 1:10
  development from that first
• 1:12
  time we talked to you,
• 1:13
  I think it was 2022?
• 1:15
  Yes,
• 1:17
  this was the first podcast I'd done ever.
• 1:22
  And it was 2022 before semifinals.
• 1:26
  Yeah.
• 1:27
  And then you did good that first year.
• 1:33
  You did better the second
• 1:35
  year and qualified at Pasadena.
• 1:40
  And then this year you win semifinals.
• 1:44
  So what has that road been
• 1:46
  like from just starting,
• 1:50
  making your first semifinal,
• 1:52
  then to making your first games,
• 1:54
  and to winning your first semifinal?
• 1:58
  Um, I feel like for me,
• 2:00
  the way I explain it is
• 2:01
  just going in order of how
• 2:05
  we kind of had it planned to do.
• 2:07
  Um, you know,
• 2:10
  that first year that I made semifinals,
• 2:13
  it was like, okay, yeah.
• 2:15
  I mean,
• 2:16
  the goal obviously is to make the games,
• 2:18
  but we knew like,
• 2:20
  that's probably not going to happen.
• 2:22
  That's going to be very hard.
• 2:23
  Um,
• 2:24
  And so I kind of just took
• 2:26
  whatever I could get.
• 2:27
  And then it was like, okay,
• 2:28
  well next year I'm going to
• 2:29
  make the games.
• 2:31
  And that's what happened.
• 2:33
  And then the year after that, it was like,
• 2:34
  well, I need to do better than that.
• 2:36
  I want to make the games,
• 2:37
  but I also want to kind of
• 2:38
  prove to myself that I
• 2:40
  don't have to just kind of
• 2:42
  get one of the last spots
• 2:43
  I'd rather get in the top three or,
• 2:46
  you know, something like that.
• 2:47
  So yeah, it was literally just,
• 2:50
  just going in order of the trajectory of
• 2:53
  of progression really so so
• 2:57
  when you're in it and your
• 2:59
  goal is to make the games
• 3:01
  like last year let's go
• 3:02
  back to last year your goal
• 3:04
  is to make the games you
• 3:05
  make the games and then now
• 3:08
  the games are of fruition
• 3:10
  and you have to go how do
• 3:11
  you switch the goal in two
• 3:14
  months from you put all
• 3:16
  this effort into making the
• 3:17
  games to then I want to do
• 3:19
  well at the games you're
• 3:21
  talking about last year
• 3:23
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  Um, well,
• 3:26
  I think at that point it was kind
• 3:28
  of just like,
• 3:30
  it was a little bit kind of
• 3:31
  survival mode at that point.
• 3:33
  Um,
• 3:34
  cause you put so much into just making
• 3:37
  it where coming off of that, you're like,
• 3:40
  okay,
• 3:40
  now I have to rebuild and recover
• 3:43
  from everything that I just
• 3:44
  did and try and do all,
• 3:47
  do it all again and do even
• 3:48
  more for the games that
• 3:51
  were a couple months after.
• 3:53
  Um,
• 3:54
  and so I feel like in a situation like
• 3:55
  that, where you're like, okay,
• 3:59
  peaked out for semifinals
• 4:01
  rebuilding after that,
• 4:03
  it definitely takes some time.
• 4:05
  Um,
• 4:07
  and I feel like you're kind of just
• 4:08
  like pulling from sort of
• 4:10
  nothing at that point.
• 4:11
  So just kind of,
• 4:13
  you're just in survival mode.
• 4:14
  At least I was just doing
• 4:15
  whatever I could to try and
• 4:18
  gain more fitness or be
• 4:20
  better for the final event.
• 4:25
  But yeah,
• 4:26
  that's why I feel like this year
• 4:27
  is totally different
• 4:28
  because it wasn't like that
• 4:31
  for semifinals.
• 4:32
  There wasn't like this huge
• 4:35
  rebuild afterwards.
• 4:36
  It was kind of just like
• 4:37
  building off of each other.
• 4:41
  The reason I find it
• 4:44
  fascinating is I talked to
• 4:46
  Colt Mertens the first year
• 4:47
  he made the games right after he got cut.
• 4:51
  And he said that you work so
• 4:55
  hard to make the games and
• 4:57
  semifinals are so different
• 4:59
  that you have to work on like X, Y,
• 5:02
  and Z. Then you make the
• 5:03
  games and all of a sudden
• 5:05
  now you have to work on A, B,
• 5:06
  and C. And you weren't able
• 5:09
  to do that because your
• 5:10
  main goal was just making
• 5:12
  it to the games.
• 5:14
  Right.
• 5:15
  And even like this year,
• 5:16
  how they released the workout so early,
• 5:19
  it was kind of hard to be like, okay,
• 5:22
  we want to like work on
• 5:24
  these workouts that we're
• 5:26
  going to have to do at semifinals,
• 5:27
  but it's so early.
• 5:29
  We still need to train and
• 5:31
  we have so many other
• 5:32
  things we need to do.
• 5:32
  Cause you can't just do
• 5:34
  those workouts over and
• 5:34
  over for three weeks, you know,
• 5:38
  mentally it'll make you crazy,
• 5:39
  but also physically it'll
• 5:40
  take a toll on you.
• 5:42
  just from reworking the same
• 5:43
  muscles over and over.
• 5:45
  Um,
• 5:46
  and so that was just kind of something
• 5:47
  interesting that happened this year.
• 5:49
  Um, cause yeah, then after that,
• 5:51
  you're like, all right, well,
• 5:54
  they're going to be testing
• 5:55
  a whole slew of different
• 5:56
  things at the games anyways.
• 5:59
  Um,
• 6:00
  but that's something I've noticed this
• 6:02
  year, as far as open quarters,
• 6:04
  semis games,
• 6:06
  I feel like all the
• 6:07
  progressions have been very clear cut.
• 6:10
  Um,
• 6:11
  And not like super obvious,
• 6:13
  but you can kind of expect like, oh my,
• 6:16
  my cat food is coming out right now.
• 6:19
  You can kind of expect like
• 6:21
  what's coming in a way, like not exactly,
• 6:24
  because there's going to be
• 6:25
  surprises here and there,
• 6:26
  but I feel like at least
• 6:27
  for the open quarters and semis,
• 6:29
  you could kind of expect
• 6:32
  the movements that were like, okay,
• 6:33
  this is the next step.
• 6:34
  This is the next step.
• 6:35
  This is what comes after.
• 6:36
  And so that's why I'm really
• 6:38
  interested to see how they
• 6:39
  do the games this year because
• 6:41
  just because it feels like
• 6:42
  it's been different from
• 6:44
  any other year as far as programming,
• 6:46
  as far as how clear the
• 6:49
  progressions have been.
• 6:50
  Yeah, and you have a new venue,
• 6:53
  a new location.
• 6:54
  They say it's primarily
• 6:57
  going to be done indoors,
• 6:59
  which is very different from past games.
• 7:02
  But it was just announced
• 7:04
  they're going to do a
• 7:04
  Friday Night Lights on a football field.
• 7:06
  Yes.
• 7:07
  I'm so excited for that.
• 7:11
  It's so cool.
• 7:11
  That was something cause I
• 7:13
  loved the outdoor events
• 7:15
  and I love competing outside.
• 7:16
  That was something like at semis this year,
• 7:18
  I was like, man,
• 7:19
  it's so cool that we get to,
• 7:22
  we're the only people who
• 7:22
  actually get to be outside
• 7:24
  the whole time.
• 7:25
  Um, but yeah,
• 7:28
  as soon as they announced the
• 7:29
  Friday night lights thing, I was like, Oh,
• 7:31
  let's go.
• 7:32
  That's awesome.
• 7:33
  And it's cool that it is at night versus,
• 7:36
  I think we're all kind of
• 7:37
  thinking there's going to
• 7:38
  be one outdoor event, if any,
• 7:41
  and it'll be early in the
• 7:43
  morning and then that's it.
• 7:44
  Everything else will be inside the arena.
• 7:46
  And so it's cool that it's like, okay,
• 7:48
  we get an event, it's at night,
• 7:50
  it's outdoors, it's on the field.
• 7:52
  I think that's really cool.
• 7:53
  Well, and you live there in Texas,
• 7:56
  so that's kind of a home
• 7:58
  field advantage for you.
• 8:00
  Oh yeah.
• 8:01
  I mean, cause I'm in San Antonio.
• 8:02
  It's like,
• 8:03
  four and a half five ish
• 8:05
  hours south of Fort Worth and Dallas.
• 8:08
  Um, so yeah, we, we get to,
• 8:11
  we're just going to drive
• 8:12
  up there and bring all our
• 8:14
  stuff and we're close by.
• 8:15
  I've been telling everybody, I'm like,
• 8:17
  guys, like,
• 8:17
  it's probably never going to
• 8:18
  be here ever again.
• 8:19
  So take advantage.
• 8:21
  And if you live nearby,
• 8:22
  just get your ticket and go.
• 8:25
  Well, especially for those outdoor events,
• 8:27
  you're used to the heat.
• 8:29
  So, like,
• 8:30
  it's like you and Ariel and those
• 8:32
  people who live in Texas, like,
• 8:34
  you get to train in that
• 8:35
  weather year-round.
• 8:38
  Yeah, I mean,
• 8:40
  that's definitely a big
• 8:41
  reason why we were like, oh, man,
• 8:43
  it'd be cool if there was
• 8:44
  more outdoor events because
• 8:46
  that would be such a huge
• 8:48
  advantage to us.
• 8:50
  But I guess we have to understand that...
• 8:54
  they can't do that to some of the people.
• 8:57
  So, yeah.
• 8:59
  But you have like,
• 9:01
  I've been to Wisconsin the
• 9:02
  last couple of years.
• 9:04
  It has not been cool in
• 9:07
  Wisconsin in August.
• 9:10
  I mean, it's, it's summer,
• 9:14
  but like whenever we arrived there,
• 9:16
  cause I mean, so I'm from the Midwest,
• 9:19
  but I hadn't been there in, you know,
• 9:21
  several years or however long and,
• 9:23
  whenever we went back and we
• 9:24
  were in Madison last year, I was like,
• 9:26
  man, I just, I miss this amazing weather.
• 9:29
  And like,
• 9:30
  just the grass is so lush and like,
• 9:33
  just at night, it's like chilly.
• 9:36
  You can wear a jacket.
• 9:37
  I was like, this is amazing.
• 9:38
  Um, versus like here,
• 9:41
  it's definitely a bit warmer,
• 9:44
  but that's actually something that, uh,
• 9:45
  we were talking about right
• 9:46
  before we got on about the rain.
• 9:48
  And I was like,
• 9:50
  Man, like, yes, I mean, it's summer here.
• 9:54
  It feels like summer.
• 9:55
  It is hot,
• 9:56
  but it is nothing compared to last year.
• 9:59
  Like last year was
• 10:00
  unbearable as far as the temperature.
• 10:04
  Yeah.
• 10:05
  Yeah.
• 10:06
  And we're getting it in the
• 10:07
  Midwest this year where
• 10:09
  it's been 95 the last week
• 10:11
  and a half and no rain.
• 10:13
  Yeah.
• 10:14
  It's almost like the United
• 10:15
  States is flipped upside down.
• 10:17
  That's crazy.
• 10:18
  Cause like even, I don't know,
• 10:21
  it's just so weird.
• 10:22
  Cause that's like this far
• 10:24
  into this late spring, early summer,
• 10:27
  it never rains.
• 10:28
  And there's been a couple of
• 10:30
  times where it's rained.
• 10:32
  And like,
• 10:32
  I feel like last year from April
• 10:35
  to September, it was,
• 10:37
  it was over a hundred like every day,
• 10:40
  like every single day.
• 10:42
  And then this year,
• 10:43
  like it started feeling
• 10:44
  like that a little bit in April.
• 10:46
  Like we had some days that
• 10:46
  were really hot or just
• 10:48
  like really humid.
• 10:49
  And I was like, oh man,
• 10:50
  like this can't be happening already.
• 10:51
  Like it's too soon for this.
• 10:52
  Like I'm not ready for this yet.
• 10:55
  And then all of a sudden,
• 10:57
  like we had a few days
• 10:57
  where it was like 101 and
• 10:58
  then it just kind of dropped.
• 11:01
  And lately, I mean, it's in the 90s,
• 11:03
  but I was expecting like
• 11:05
  106 to 109 every single day.
• 11:07
  And it hasn't been like that.
• 11:09
  So I'm very thankful.
• 11:11
  yeah so let's rewind a bit
• 11:14
  you go into west coast this
• 11:15
  year and you said it was
• 11:17
  different like you because
• 11:20
  of what you've established
• 11:22
  did you feel less pressure
• 11:24
  about making the games yes
• 11:28
  because that was the thing
• 11:29
  when I whenever I went to
• 11:30
  semis like there was like
• 11:32
  no doubt that I would make
• 11:35
  the games like there was no
• 11:36
  doubt I'd be in the top eight you know um
• 11:39
  Cause that's the thing I
• 11:40
  that's like the goal of Sandy's right.
• 11:42
  It's like,
• 11:42
  that's your ticket to the games.
• 11:43
  That's how you get there.
• 11:45
  Um, but I wasn't even thinking like, oh,
• 11:49
  I hope I make it again.
• 11:50
  Like I was like, oh no,
• 11:51
  I'm making it again.
• 11:52
  Of course the goal was like,
• 11:54
  I want it to be podium.
• 11:56
  At least I was like for sure
• 11:57
  in the top three.
• 11:59
  Um,
• 12:00
  and then as a weekend kind of went on
• 12:02
  and the goal kind of
• 12:03
  changed a little bit and I was like, Ooh,
• 12:06
  maybe I could win this thing.
• 12:09
  Was there pressure on you
• 12:11
  winning or just it was a possibility?
• 12:14
  No pressure.
• 12:17
  I mean,
• 12:18
  I have goals for myself and I put
• 12:21
  pressure on myself,
• 12:22
  but there was nobody like
• 12:24
  putting pressure on me.
• 12:26
  It was definitely when I
• 12:29
  realized it was a possibility.
• 12:30
  I feel like before the final, I was like,
• 12:33
  OK, well,
• 12:34
  I'm for sure going to get second.
• 12:36
  I'm not going to do any worse than that.
• 12:38
  But I knew that if the
• 12:39
  weekend ended and if I ended up in second,
• 12:42
  I would have been a little bit like,
• 12:43
  I would have felt like I
• 12:48
  left something on the table.
• 12:53
  You're very competitive.
• 12:54
  It's very obvious when I
• 12:56
  look at your Instagram and
• 12:58
  when I've talked to you
• 12:59
  over the last couple of years,
• 13:01
  you love to compete.
• 13:03
  Would the disappointment
• 13:04
  have been more that or more
• 13:08
  the loss of money?
• 13:15
  Um, that, that maybe, because I feel like,
• 13:21
  I don't know what the second place gets.
• 13:24
  Um, but it's like,
• 13:26
  if it's something that's
• 13:27
  like a very small,
• 13:31
  I think it's seven grand.
• 13:33
  Okay, so the difference of, like,
• 13:35
  three grand.
• 13:36
  Yeah.
• 13:36
  That would have been annoying, I think.
• 13:39
  Like, I've been like, oh,
• 13:39
  if I would have just done this different,
• 13:41
  then I could have, like,
• 13:41
  made a little bit more money.
• 13:43
  I think that definitely would affect.
• 13:45
  But, no, I just, I knew I could win it,
• 13:49
  you know?
• 13:51
  Like, why not?
• 13:54
  Yeah.
• 13:55
  Well, and I'm not trying to, like,
• 13:57
  put a financial thing on this,
• 13:59
  but you guys get very...
• 14:01
  small op there's only a few
• 14:03
  opportunities for you to
• 14:04
  make money to support
• 14:05
  yourself for the year most
• 14:08
  of it is done through
• 14:09
  sponsorships and you get
• 14:11
  very little prize money
• 14:12
  throughout the year yeah
• 14:15
  competitions is definitely
• 14:16
  not where you're gonna be
• 14:17
  making the bulk of your
• 14:18
  money it's definitely gonna
• 14:19
  be through your sponsors um
• 14:23
  but yeah I feel like for
• 14:25
  something like semi-finals
• 14:26
  it's definitely kind of or
• 14:28
  even just competitions it's
• 14:29
  really more about the win than the money
• 14:32
  Because it's not like we're
• 14:34
  getting 100K to win semifinals.
• 14:37
  10K is like... I feel like
• 14:40
  that makes it seem smaller
• 14:42
  than what it is.
• 14:46
  Yeah.
• 14:47
  But 10K is still a nice
• 14:49
  chunk for a weekend of work.
• 14:51
  It's a nice chunk for a weekend of work.
• 14:53
  But I feel like for how much
• 14:55
  work that we put into it
• 14:56
  and how big it is,
• 14:57
  I do think it kind of...
• 15:01
  makes it seem like less.
• 15:04
  So I wasn't going to go here,
• 15:06
  but I'm going to go here now.
• 15:07
  I was talking to Alex Kazan a week ago,
• 15:10
  and we were talking about
• 15:13
  the difference between
• 15:14
  sponsorship money and prize money,
• 15:16
  and that now there are
• 15:17
  these new things popping up
• 15:21
  on the internet, like Kill Taylor,
• 15:23
  like Reps Ahead,
• 15:25
  like these different ways
• 15:27
  to make money as a
• 15:28
  CrossFitter and get exposure.
• 15:31
  And then there was this
• 15:32
  Taylor versus world where
• 15:33
  Taylor took on Jason Hopper,
• 15:35
  Dallin pepper and Colton
• 15:37
  Mertens and quarterfinals.
• 15:39
  They broadcast it live and
• 15:40
  they all won prize money.
• 15:44
  And I asked her,
• 15:45
  would you rather earn money
• 15:47
  through competing,
• 15:49
  like doing quarterfinals live,
• 15:51
  or would you rather get to
• 15:52
  sponsorship deals where you
• 15:55
  have to be on Instagram all
• 15:56
  the time and posting your stuff?
• 15:59
  And she said,
• 16:00
  I'd rather win it through competition.
• 16:02
  Yeah.
• 16:03
  But there just aren't that
• 16:04
  many opportunities.
• 16:06
  I definitely agree with that.
• 16:07
  I feel like, I don't know, having to...
• 16:12
  do all like be on Instagram
• 16:13
  all the time and social media,
• 16:15
  like that just,
• 16:17
  it becomes very tedious and it, it just,
• 16:21
  it's, it's work.
• 16:21
  It just, it's,
• 16:22
  it's just a work that you have to do.
• 16:24
  Um,
• 16:25
  if you could just go and just compete
• 16:27
  and make money through that, I,
• 16:29
  I would definitely prefer that.
• 16:32
  Um,
• 16:33
  I do love my sponsors and I think it's
• 16:35
  awesome that we get to do that, but, um,
• 16:40
  yeah, I think,
• 16:43
  I would choose just
• 16:44
  competing and making money through that.
• 16:48
  If you were given the opportunity to do,
• 16:51
  say,
• 16:51
  quarterfinals live and a chance to
• 16:55
  earn prize money,
• 16:56
  would you be game for that?
• 16:57
  I think I'd be pretty cool.
• 17:00
  Especially now because I'm a
• 17:02
  lot more confident during
• 17:04
  that stage of the season.
• 17:05
  So I'd be willing to do that.
• 17:07
  Whereas a couple years ago,
• 17:09
  I would have been...
• 17:10
  like too nervous of like, oh, okay,
• 17:12
  are my scores going to be good enough?
• 17:14
  Am I for sure in?
• 17:15
  But now I'm like, okay.
• 17:18
  It's funny because Carolyn
• 17:20
  Prevo is my co-host on Sunday night.
• 17:22
  And she said that she feels
• 17:25
  that women hold their
• 17:26
  scores closer to the vest
• 17:28
  than the men do.
• 17:29
  Like the men...
• 17:31
  like the men talks back and they,
• 17:33
  and they trash talk all the time,
• 17:36
  but the women are very
• 17:37
  secretive about their
• 17:39
  scores and where they are
• 17:40
  in the leaderboard.
• 17:42
  And if she believes that
• 17:43
  less women would be
• 17:44
  inclined to do the live quarterfinal,
• 17:47
  I do think that like,
• 17:51
  it would have to be
• 17:51
  athletes who were like very
• 17:52
  confident that they're for
• 17:53
  sure making it.
• 17:55
  I do think that would matter.
• 17:56
  Um,
• 17:58
  as far as the women, but it's just,
• 18:00
  it's funny you bring that up.
• 18:01
  Cause I I've heard that.
• 18:03
  And I've heard that through
• 18:04
  like qualifiers for just
• 18:07
  like random off season
• 18:09
  comps all the time.
• 18:10
  Like my guy friends versus
• 18:11
  my girlfriends are like, yeah,
• 18:13
  like the women,
• 18:14
  they never want to say
• 18:15
  their scores or unless
• 18:16
  they're like saying it to a
• 18:18
  guy or that they're not
• 18:19
  competing against or something like that.
• 18:20
  And I was like, huh, that's interesting.
• 18:24
  But yeah,
• 18:25
  I definitely feel like whoever you choose,
• 18:27
  it would have to be just
• 18:29
  people who are like, okay,
• 18:31
  I'm for sure in or for sure
• 18:33
  going to be in the final
• 18:34
  heat or something like that.
• 18:38
  Yeah.
• 18:38
  Well, everybody I've talked to were like,
• 18:40
  I'd be game for it.
• 18:42
  But those people are all
• 18:43
  like people that like Emily
• 18:45
  Rolfe and Ariel and Alex
• 18:47
  and they're all like, yeah, I'm worried.
• 18:51
  Yeah.
• 18:52
  Especially at the quarterfinal level.
• 18:54
  Like you guys will know
• 18:55
  you're making semis.
• 18:57
  Yeah.
• 18:58
  Yeah, for sure.
• 18:59
  So I think it's going to be
• 19:01
  interesting to see where we
• 19:02
  go over the next couple of years,
• 19:04
  because I think the more
• 19:05
  media outlets there are,
• 19:06
  the more opportunities like
• 19:08
  that are going to be out
• 19:09
  there because of the
• 19:11
  success of what people saw
• 19:13
  with Taylor versus world.
• 19:15
  Yeah.
• 19:16
  Yeah.
• 19:17
  I think so.
• 19:18
  I think what those guys have been doing,
• 19:21
  I think it's great for the sport.
• 19:22
  I think it's, it's super entertaining.
• 19:25
  And I mean,
• 19:25
  it's also entertaining for
• 19:26
  people who might not be
• 19:29
  involved in CrossFit at all.
• 19:31
  You know, they're like, oh, okay.
• 19:32
  They're just throwing down
• 19:33
  and they're working out and
• 19:34
  there's money on the table
• 19:35
  and you show up and do it.
• 19:38
  Um, I think it's great.
• 19:40
  We'll definitely see more of
• 19:41
  that stuff pop up here and there.
• 19:43
  When I think it's a lot
• 19:44
  easier to explain to your
• 19:45
  friends what CrossFit the
• 19:47
  sport is by showing them
• 19:49
  this one event that say, Hey,
• 19:52
  you got to sit through this
• 19:53
  weekend of four events or
• 19:55
  four days of 15 events.
• 19:57
  And at the end you'll kind
• 19:58
  of see who wins.
• 20:00
  Right.
• 20:01
  Right.
• 20:01
  Like it,
• 20:02
  it's much quicker and easier to
• 20:04
  show than like the CrossFit games.
• 20:07
  Yeah, I think so too.
• 20:08
  Um,
• 20:11
  Yeah.
• 20:11
  Even like the amount of
• 20:13
  times people ask me, they're like,
• 20:15
  oh wait, so,
• 20:16
  so it's different events every time,
• 20:18
  right?
• 20:18
  Like it's, it's different events.
• 20:19
  Like they, they still like,
• 20:20
  don't get that.
• 20:21
  Like, yes,
• 20:22
  it's different events every time,
• 20:24
  but I do think showing them
• 20:25
  something like that would
• 20:27
  definitely help be like, oh yeah,
• 20:30
  you just do a workout and whoever wins.
• 20:32
  Okay.
• 20:32
  You have a better score and
• 20:33
  then multiply that by however many,
• 20:36
  and then, okay,
• 20:36
  that's the CrossFit games.
• 20:37
  Like, all right.
• 20:39
  Yeah.
• 20:40
  Yeah.
• 20:40
  I think.
• 20:41
  And it, and it shows the beauty of it,
• 20:44
  right?
• 20:44
  Like there's this big
• 20:45
  competition between high
• 20:46
  rocks and what we do and like, yeah,
• 20:49
  they do the same thing every time,
• 20:51
  but that can get boring
• 20:53
  over time if you're not into that, right?
• 20:57
  It changes all the time and
• 20:58
  that's why it's more well-rounded.
• 21:01
  Yeah.
• 21:01
  I mean,
• 21:02
  when I look at something like high rocks,
• 21:04
  to me,
• 21:04
  that's just the same as like
• 21:05
  signing up for
• 21:07
  a half marathon or a 5k or
• 21:10
  you know I mean obviously
• 21:12
  you're doing more than just
• 21:13
  running but that's I see
• 21:15
  that as like kind of the
• 21:17
  same thing you know you're
• 21:18
  signing up for a race or a
• 21:20
  better comparison would be
• 21:21
  the I don't know what
• 21:23
  they're called where you're
• 21:24
  running through mud and
• 21:26
  climbing walls and you know
• 21:28
  like stuff like that yeah
• 21:30
  spartan race which they had
• 21:32
  their heyday for a year or
• 21:33
  two too and then kind of fell off
• 21:36
  I think that's where High
• 21:37
  Rocks is headed as well,
• 21:38
  but I could be wrong.
• 21:40
  Yeah.
• 21:41
  I mean, to me, it sounds fun to go do,
• 21:45
  like go do it one time or whatever,
• 21:48
  but I couldn't see myself
• 21:50
  doing it like all the time
• 21:53
  or like as my lifestyle necessarily.
• 21:56
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  So it's funny.
• 22:01
  I was watching behind the
• 22:02
  scenes West coast today.
• 22:04
  The new episode dropped like overnight,
• 22:06
  I think.
• 22:08
  And you're in there and you're,
• 22:10
  you say to Savan that this
• 22:13
  is the chillest you've ever seen.
• 22:16
  You've ever seen a semifinal
• 22:18
  B it wasn't just you.
• 22:20
  It was like the whole thing.
• 22:21
  And that was on Saturday.
• 22:24
  Did that stay that way the
• 22:26
  whole way through the weekend?
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:29
  I definitely felt like that
• 22:30
  on the first couple of days.
• 22:32
  And I don't know if it was
• 22:33
  just cause we were outside
• 22:35
  and we were like working out,
• 22:36
  we have the sunshine,
• 22:38
  like it's great weather
• 22:39
  where there's like grass and trees.
• 22:42
  Um, it changed a little bit on day three.
• 22:45
  Cause that's kind of where
• 22:46
  you could see there's more
• 22:47
  tension in the air.
• 22:48
  Like people were starting to,
• 22:50
  it was settling in whether
• 22:51
  they were not going to make
• 22:52
  it or they're on the line.
• 22:54
  Um,
• 22:56
  but it was still, it was still very pretty,
• 23:00
  like a relaxed environment,
• 23:01
  at least for myself.
• 23:03
  And part of me thinks like,
• 23:04
  I do think it was the environment,
• 23:06
  but I also think that I was
• 23:08
  just much more relaxed.
• 23:10
  Um,
• 23:10
  I used to get so much more nervous when
• 23:12
  I competed,
• 23:13
  especially before the first events.
• 23:15
  Um, but now I'm just so much more in tune.
• 23:19
  It's almost like a meditation for me.
• 23:21
  So,
• 23:24
  yeah,
• 23:24
  I feel like I can actually be like
• 23:26
  calm and relax and just do my thing.
• 23:30
  But I just,
• 23:30
  I really felt those vibes from everybody,
• 23:32
  at least for the first
• 23:33
  couple of days and a little
• 23:34
  bit on the other day.
• 23:36
  It's funny because seeing you at the semis,
• 23:40
  I've always felt you to be chill.
• 23:43
  Yeah.
• 23:43
  Like you, even you might be tear,
• 23:47
  teared up inside or tore up inside.
• 23:49
  Right.
• 23:50
  But out outside or externally,
• 23:52
  you always look chill.
• 23:56
  Yeah.
• 23:56
  I mean,
• 23:57
  I do think like you kind of want to
• 23:58
  present yourself that way.
• 24:00
  Um, like there's sometimes like,
• 24:03
  even like years ago,
• 24:04
  I would like tell myself, I'd be like,
• 24:06
  okay,
• 24:06
  I'm just going to admit it to myself
• 24:09
  that I'm nervous.
• 24:10
  I'll say it one time and
• 24:12
  then I'm going to let it go.
• 24:14
  And that was something that
• 24:15
  I would have to do with myself.
• 24:16
  Be like, it's building up,
• 24:18
  it's building up.
• 24:19
  And I'd be like,
• 24:21
  okay, if I'm just going to like admit it,
• 24:23
  look in the mirror and be like, yes,
• 24:25
  you're very nervous right now.
• 24:26
  Let it go.
• 24:28
  And then it would help me tremendously.
• 24:31
  Now I don't have to do that so much.
• 24:34
  It's more like, okay,
• 24:35
  before the competition starts,
• 24:36
  if I feel I'll start
• 24:37
  getting that like subconscious,
• 24:39
  like build of like,
• 24:40
  I feel my stomach is like
• 24:41
  rising to my throat and
• 24:43
  I'll just like close my
• 24:44
  eyes for a second.
• 24:44
  Just like take a couple of just big,
• 24:47
  deep breaths and then be like, all right,
• 24:49
  let's go.
• 24:50
  And then I'm like, good from there on out.
• 24:54
  Do you make a concerted
• 24:55
  effort not to have too many
• 24:57
  highs as well?
• 24:58
  Because even like when you
• 24:59
  have like a great event,
• 25:00
  I don't see you like
• 25:02
  pumping your chest or doing
• 25:05
  anything like that.
• 25:05
  You just kind of cross the line,
• 25:08
  raise your hands and get
• 25:10
  your water and you're done.
• 25:14
  Cause I never,
• 25:15
  I've never had an event win also.
• 25:17
  I feel maybe that would change things.
• 25:19
  And I do,
• 25:20
  I do eventually want to be that
• 25:22
  person who can have event wins,
• 25:24
  but maybe I'm just not there yet.
• 25:27
  I feel like I'm just so kind
• 25:29
  of like right and smooth, um,
• 25:31
  which is great, but it would be cool to,
• 25:34
  you know,
• 25:35
  win an event or two here and there.
• 25:38
  Um,
• 25:40
  But yeah,
• 25:40
  even if I do something where I'm like, oh,
• 25:43
  I was really proud of how that went.
• 25:46
  I've learned,
• 25:47
  especially from the games
• 25:48
  last year to not let it, you know,
• 25:51
  bring me way sky high
• 25:53
  because that's just so much energy.
• 25:56
  Like,
• 25:57
  and this is something I've said before,
• 25:58
  like when you have a really
• 26:00
  bad event or a really good event,
• 26:01
  whether you're super,
• 26:02
  super up and positive or super,
• 26:04
  super negative,
• 26:05
  both of them just drain your energy.
• 26:07
  And the best thing to do is
• 26:08
  just stay neutral the whole time.
• 26:10
  Otherwise,
• 26:10
  you're just like this all weekend long.
• 26:13
  And it's exhausting.
• 26:15
  And it'll take a lot more from you.
• 26:20
  It's so funny because I
• 26:21
  watch a lot of pro sports, right?
• 26:23
  And the athletes will say
• 26:25
  that they have to stay even keel.
• 26:29
  They can't get too far up or too far down.
• 26:31
  And the great ones all say that.
• 26:35
  So you're kind of in this
• 26:38
  like Catch-22 where you're
• 26:41
  in a sport where to be the
• 26:43
  most well-rounded is the best.
• 26:47
  And that may mean that you
• 26:49
  don't get event wins.
• 26:51
  A la Justin Medeiros, right?
• 26:55
  Two-time CrossFit Games champion,
• 26:58
  one event win.
• 27:00
  Right.
• 27:03
  How do you balance that?
• 27:07
  So it does depend.
• 27:08
  So it worked out for me at
• 27:12
  semis to just keep
• 27:15
  everything in the top 10
• 27:16
  and then end up on top at
• 27:20
  the end of the weekend.
• 27:21
  Now,
• 27:23
  depending if I was competing against
• 27:26
  everybody that would have
• 27:27
  looked a lot different or
• 27:29
  if I was competing elsewhere or, you know,
• 27:33
  cause if you look at like Tia Toomey,
• 27:36
  she wins,
• 27:37
  but she also wins a lot of events.
• 27:39
  Like most events she ends up winning.
• 27:42
  And so it's like,
• 27:42
  if you're competing against
• 27:43
  people where they can win,
• 27:46
  like their idea or their
• 27:49
  version of being
• 27:50
  well-rounded is by winning
• 27:52
  so much where it's like first place,
• 27:54
  first place, first place, second place,
• 27:55
  first place versus like
• 27:58
  sixth place across the board.
• 28:00
  It's a little different.
• 28:02
  So I feel like it worked out
• 28:03
  in my favor this time.
• 28:06
  But I do think at a bigger
• 28:09
  stage or at some point down the road,
• 28:11
  that needs to be better.
• 28:16
  Do you look at,
• 28:17
  so like we have a stats and
• 28:19
  information person who did
• 28:21
  a combined leaderboard for all the semis.
• 28:24
  Oh, yeah.
• 28:26
  Do you ever look at those?
• 28:29
  Sometimes,
• 28:29
  even if there wasn't somebody
• 28:33
  out there doing those stats,
• 28:35
  sometimes I'll still be like, OK,
• 28:39
  how did this end up here or there,
• 28:41
  and do a little bit of comparison.
• 28:43
  I know you can't really
• 28:45
  fully compare because the
• 28:47
  circumstances are always different.
• 28:50
  But you can still get an
• 28:51
  idea of how things could have gone.
• 28:56
  But still, like I said,
• 28:57
  it's just when you know who
• 29:01
  you're competing against ahead of time,
• 29:02
  it also changes your
• 29:03
  mindset going into the competition.
• 29:06
  Like if you know you're
• 29:07
  competing against this
• 29:09
  group of people versus this
• 29:11
  group of people, then you also,
• 29:15
  you kind of know what you have to do.
• 29:17
  You know,
• 29:17
  like when I finished the weekend at semis,
• 29:19
  I wasn't like, oh, I did great.
• 29:22
  Like there was so many
• 29:23
  things that I was like,
• 29:25
  This all needs to be better.
• 29:27
  This wasn't great.
• 29:27
  This wasn't great.
• 29:28
  This wasn't great.
• 29:29
  It just so happened to work out for me,
• 29:32
  but it's like, okay,
• 29:35
  I go compete against these
• 29:36
  people that you just,
• 29:39
  it's just a different mindset going in.
• 29:41
  And so it's, you can compare a little bit,
• 29:44
  but you also have to take
• 29:45
  it with a grain of salt.
• 29:47
  Yeah.
• 29:47
  And I always say when,
• 29:49
  when we're putting this information out,
• 29:51
  like they're not racing each other,
• 29:53
  right?
• 29:54
  If you had,
• 29:55
  if you had people from Europe besides you,
• 29:58
  you may change the way
• 29:59
  you're doing the workout
• 30:01
  because they're a tick ahead of you.
• 30:03
  And then you could push
• 30:04
  harder to get past them.
• 30:06
  Right.
• 30:06
  So it takes all of that out of it,
• 30:09
  which does you the numbers a little bit.
• 30:12
  Exactly.
• 30:13
  And I think even if we all
• 30:14
  went and did these workouts
• 30:16
  by ourselves in a dark room,
• 30:18
  it would still,
• 30:19
  it would look completely different.
• 30:21
  It's just when you're going
• 30:22
  and you're toe to toe,
• 30:23
  you're changing things.
• 30:24
  Or if somebody's up here,
• 30:26
  you're changing things.
• 30:27
  And it's just,
• 30:29
  you can't do that unless
• 30:31
  you're literally with those
• 30:33
  people on the spot.
• 30:36
  And you had by far the most
• 30:38
  difficult run of any semifinal.
• 30:42
  It was definitely, I mean, if you,
• 30:44
  obviously our times were like,
• 30:46
  way longer than everybody else's.
• 30:48
  I really liked it.
• 30:51
  I really liked the stairs.
• 30:55
  It just made it more time.
• 30:58
  But I don't know.
• 31:00
  I don't know if it was even
• 31:02
  more difficult.
• 31:03
  It's just different, you know?
• 31:08
  I do think because it's like, okay,
• 31:10
  you have to push going up the stairs,
• 31:12
  but then going down,
• 31:13
  you can only go so fast.
• 31:15
  So you can kind of use that to like,
• 31:19
  like almost recover a little bit,
• 31:22
  but then it's like a
• 31:22
  counter effects because
• 31:23
  then you're going up the stairs,
• 31:25
  which is much different
• 31:26
  than running on flat ground, obviously.
• 31:30
  Well,
• 31:30
  the other thing that I think that is
• 31:31
  not taken into effect is
• 31:34
  what happens to your legs on the stairs.
• 31:37
  And then the next day you
• 31:38
  have to do front squats.
• 31:40
  Like that's going to be
• 31:41
  different from your region to another,
• 31:43
  to another region.
• 31:44
  Yeah.
• 31:45
  It's just, it's just different.
• 31:46
  That's the thing.
• 31:47
  I mean, you just,
• 31:49
  you can't really compare you.
• 31:50
  You can look, but it's just,
• 31:53
  there's so many little
• 31:54
  things that just change things.
• 31:56
  And then it's,
• 31:57
  being outside and like and I
• 31:59
  mean I love being outside
• 32:01
  but it just it makes it
• 32:02
  different you know versus
• 32:03
  being inside ac you know
• 32:07
  yeah and if it's hot there
• 32:09
  in california you you guys
• 32:10
  are being drained from the
• 32:11
  heat and not in ac yeah
• 32:14
  there's there's so many
• 32:14
  factors so many factors um
• 32:18
  so so I take it you don't
• 32:20
  look at that and it doesn't
• 32:21
  matter to what anything you're doing um
• 32:24
  I do, but I also know the other factors.
• 32:28
  I'll check it out and be like, okay,
• 32:30
  but then I'm also going to be like,
• 32:34
  you know, it's not perfect.
• 32:39
  So what I look at there as
• 32:41
  an analyst is you finished
• 32:45
  in the combined leaderboard
• 32:46
  way better than you did at
• 32:47
  the games last year.
• 32:51
  Right.
• 32:51
  So,
• 32:52
  and you have all this stuff against you
• 32:54
  with, you had to run stairs,
• 32:56
  you were outside, all of those things,
• 32:59
  and how that could lend to
• 33:01
  even a better performance with the games.
• 33:07
  So as an analyst,
• 33:08
  not as like an athlete or
• 33:09
  anything like that.
• 33:10
  Yeah.
• 33:11
  Well,
• 33:13
  I know I'm doing much better at the
• 33:15
  games this year than last year.
• 33:18
  Yeah.
• 33:19
  So last year you made one
• 33:21
  cut and then got cut.
• 33:24
  Is that motivation for this
• 33:26
  year to not get cut?
• 33:28
  Or do you have bigger
• 33:29
  aspirations than that?
• 33:32
  I mean,
• 33:32
  I definitely don't want to get cut.
• 33:35
  I definitely want to compete
• 33:36
  all four days.
• 33:39
  But I also want to do better than that.
• 33:41
  I don't know what the cuts are.
• 33:43
  Is it the same?
• 33:46
  They never tell you until we're there.
• 33:49
  I mean,
• 33:49
  let's say if it is the same where
• 33:50
  it's like you do two days
• 33:51
  and it cuts to 30, one day cuts to 20.
• 33:54
  I mean,
• 33:55
  I for sure want to do better than
• 33:56
  that because I definitely
• 33:57
  want to be better than just top 20,
• 34:00
  you know?
• 34:02
  Yeah.
• 34:04
  Yeah.
• 34:05
  Do you sit down with your
• 34:06
  coach and talk about like
• 34:09
  what your goals are?
• 34:10
  And are they even
• 34:11
  leaderboard related or is
• 34:14
  it more personal?
• 34:16
  Yeah.
• 34:17
  I feel like whenever, pretty much anytime,
• 34:22
  whenever I come up with a
• 34:24
  goal kind of for myself,
• 34:25
  I'll go and tell my coach,
• 34:27
  like I'll discuss it.
• 34:29
  Like me and my husband will
• 34:30
  be like talking about it all the time.
• 34:33
  And then I'll talk to my
• 34:34
  coach and then I'll be like, okay,
• 34:40
  now it's like, it's more real.
• 34:42
  Like, okay, we're going to do this.
• 34:43
  So yeah,
• 34:44
  I'll like sit and like have a
• 34:46
  whole conversation with my coach.
• 34:48
  Um, and yeah, it can be anything.
• 34:51
  It could be, you know,
• 34:53
  just doing whether I just
• 34:56
  want to do better at the
• 34:56
  games or if I want to, you know, do this,
• 34:59
  or if I just want to be a better rower or,
• 35:05
  you know, something like that.
• 35:07
  Um, or like, you're like, Oh, I just,
• 35:09
  let's get stronger.
• 35:10
  Let's, let's do this.
• 35:11
  Um,
• 35:12
  or it could be like enjoying
• 35:15
  what I do or it could be anything really.
• 35:19
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  Yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaking of your coach, uh, Matthew Bryant,
• 35:22
  correct with golden line, uh,
• 35:26
  that he seems to be growing.
• 35:28
  Um,
• 35:29
  I talked to Jamie Hygieia before semis.
• 35:32
  She talked about him as their coach.
• 35:35
  Um, uh,
• 35:36
  And then Trayvon who I've
• 35:38
  gotten to know over the
• 35:38
  years is now with him.
• 35:40
  Do you ever get the
• 35:41
  opportunity to work out with,
• 35:43
  with those other people
• 35:44
  under him or are you guys
• 35:46
  kind of do your own thing?
• 35:48
  So most part,
• 35:51
  everybody has completely like
• 35:53
  individual programming,
• 35:54
  but there are several
• 35:56
  people kind of around in the area.
• 35:59
  Um,
• 36:00
  I would say as far as like competitive
• 36:02
  level wise, the,
• 36:04
  the closest one would be Trayvon.
• 36:06
  And he's just like an hour,
• 36:08
  like an hour and a half ish less away.
• 36:11
  So when it's like,
• 36:13
  we're coming up for like semifinals,
• 36:15
  we'll definitely get
• 36:16
  together and train as much as we can.
• 36:18
  Um,
• 36:20
  and then just like other times kind of
• 36:22
  random throughout the year, like we'll,
• 36:23
  we'll go do water Palooza.
• 36:24
  So we'll get together before that.
• 36:26
  And.
• 36:27
  train or just you know get
• 36:29
  some workouts in or um yeah
• 36:33
  just get together um does
• 36:36
  that help you uh-huh how
• 36:38
  much does that help you I
• 36:41
  mean it's great I love
• 36:42
  working out with other
• 36:42
  people because then I mean
• 36:45
  I'm used to training alone
• 36:46
  so it's just like a fun
• 36:48
  little treat to work out
• 36:50
  with someone especially
• 36:51
  someone who's obviously
• 36:53
  really good and competitive
• 36:54
  and um can definitely
• 36:57
  beat me in a lot of workouts.
• 36:59
  So it's very beneficial to me.
• 37:00
  Um, so yeah, I love it.
• 37:04
  And he's gotten so much
• 37:05
  better since joining gold line.
• 37:07
  Cause I don't think he's
• 37:09
  been there as long as you have as he.
• 37:11
  No.
• 37:12
  So he's been there.
• 37:13
  I don't know how long he's been with Matt.
• 37:15
  So he,
• 37:16
  that was how I kind of first got
• 37:18
  introduced to Matt.
• 37:19
  Um, one of my friends was like, Oh,
• 37:23
  this is a guy that coaches Trayvon.
• 37:25
  And then I was like, okay.
• 37:26
  Cause I didn't really,
• 37:29
  before I got a coach,
• 37:30
  I didn't really know.
• 37:31
  I was like, do I need a coach?
• 37:33
  Is that something I should do?
• 37:35
  And then I was like, then they,
• 37:37
  they were like, oh,
• 37:37
  well they do like individual programming.
• 37:41
  And that was something that
• 37:41
  I was initially interested in.
• 37:43
  I was like, okay,
• 37:43
  maybe this is something I
• 37:44
  should be doing.
• 37:45
  Like,
• 37:46
  instead of just doing a general program,
• 37:47
  I should probably have
• 37:48
  somebody who's actually going to
• 37:50
  Gimmie stuff specific to me.
• 37:51
  So I'm not just kind of like
• 37:53
  trying to figure out what to do.
• 37:56
  Um,
• 37:57
  and then that was one of the things
• 37:58
  that they said, they're like, oh, well,
• 37:59
  he's been coaching treatment for,
• 38:00
  you know, I, at this point,
• 38:02
  I think he had been
• 38:02
  coaching him for like a
• 38:03
  year or something.
• 38:04
  And so I was like, oh, okay.
• 38:06
  I know treatment treatment's really good.
• 38:07
  Yeah.
• 38:08
  Um, I'll check him out.
• 38:10
  So.
• 38:11
  Awesome.
• 38:12
  So how long did it take you
• 38:13
  to develop the trust with
• 38:14
  that coach and Matt to do that?
• 38:17
  Because that's gotta be
• 38:19
  important at this level.
• 38:22
  Um, I mean, we met,
• 38:26
  I went and did a training
• 38:28
  camp with them and we kind
• 38:29
  of just started working
• 38:30
  together right away after that.
• 38:32
  Um,
• 38:33
  I feel like the trust was kind of
• 38:34
  developed over time.
• 38:35
  We definitely,
• 38:37
  we communicate all the time.
• 38:38
  We talk to each other, um,
• 38:40
  pretty much every day almost
• 38:43
  um and so yeah it's just a
• 38:45
  lot of just going back and
• 38:46
  forth and just like
• 38:47
  communicating um and I feel
• 38:50
  like when I first met him I
• 38:51
  kind of told him I was like
• 38:53
  hey because this was in
• 38:55
  november of 2022 so it was
• 38:58
  before the season started
• 39:00
  for 2023 last year I was
• 39:02
  like hey um this is what I
• 39:05
  plan on doing next year um
• 39:07
  I plan on making it to the games
• 39:10
  So do you want to help me do that?
• 39:13
  And he was like, all right, let's do it.
• 39:17
  But yeah, I don't know.
• 39:18
  I mean,
• 39:18
  we're at this point now where
• 39:20
  there's just like a ton of
• 39:21
  trust and we have a really
• 39:22
  great relationship and yeah,
• 39:25
  he's the best.
• 39:26
  So he liked that confidence.
• 39:29
  Yeah.
• 39:30
  I mean, I guess, because I told him,
• 39:32
  I was like, I don't know.
• 39:34
  Cause I know, I feel like as a coach,
• 39:35
  you probably deal with a
• 39:36
  lot of people who are like,
• 39:38
  they say they want to do something,
• 39:39
  but they don't like really want to do it,
• 39:42
  you know?
• 39:43
  And then I was like, well,
• 39:46
  this is what I'm doing.
• 39:47
  It's not even if I want to or not, like,
• 39:50
  this is what I'm doing.
• 39:51
  So otherwise I'd just be wasting my time.
• 39:55
  All right,
• 39:55
  we're going to finish up with
• 39:56
  some fun stuff.
• 39:57
  And so in researching you,
• 39:59
  I looked through your Instagram.
• 40:01
  I noticed you have like a
• 40:02
  really killer garage gym now.
• 40:06
  Yeah, that was new this year.
• 40:09
  We did that a couple months
• 40:12
  after the games last year.
• 40:14
  We started putting that together.
• 40:16
  Can you do pretty much
• 40:17
  everything in there?
• 40:19
  No, I, so I work out in there a lot.
• 40:24
  Um, maybe, maybe the majority, maybe half.
• 40:27
  Um, and then I go to the gym a lot.
• 40:30
  Um,
• 40:31
  I have a gym that's pretty close by and
• 40:33
  then there's also some gyms
• 40:36
  in the area if I need to go there.
• 40:39
  Um, just kind of have a lot of options,
• 40:41
  but I definitely do a lot
• 40:42
  of the work in my garage
• 40:44
  and it's been so helpful as
• 40:46
  far as being efficient, as far as,
• 40:49
  okay, I can,
• 40:51
  if I have to do something
• 40:52
  where I'm just going to wake up and go,
• 40:54
  I can do that.
• 40:55
  Or if I need to come in and
• 40:56
  eat something real quick, or if I need to,
• 40:58
  you know, get like, there's just,
• 41:01
  it's never a,
• 41:02
  cause I remember last year I
• 41:04
  would go to a gym that
• 41:05
  wasn't really close to me
• 41:06
  and I would have to just
• 41:07
  like pack up all my stuff.
• 41:09
  And then I would be there
• 41:10
  just like all day.
• 41:11
  And I'd have to like bring
• 41:12
  my lunch and like do all this stuff.
• 41:14
  And like, now it's like, okay,
• 41:16
  I'm either at home or I can
• 41:18
  run to the gym that's close
• 41:19
  by and then run home really quick.
• 41:22
  And it's just so much more convenient.
• 41:23
  And I feel like I can get a
• 41:24
  lot more work done that way
• 41:26
  and just be more productive.
• 41:28
  I noticed it looks like in recent months,
• 41:30
  like all your name placards
• 41:32
  have been hung and all of
• 41:34
  that stuff on the one wall
• 41:36
  to make it your garage gym.
• 41:39
  Was that a concerted effort or?
• 41:41
  Yeah.
• 41:45
  I was like, I didn't really care that much,
• 41:49
  but it was, it was more Anton.
• 41:50
  My husband, he was like, he's like, yeah,
• 41:52
  we got to hang up all your
• 41:53
  posters and everything.
• 41:54
  And then once we did that, I was like, oh,
• 41:56
  okay, this,
• 41:57
  this actually looks a lot cooler.
• 41:59
  And I do like this.
• 42:01
  And so, yeah,
• 42:02
  we have a few more that we
• 42:04
  still need to put up right now, actually.
• 42:07
  But yeah, I like the way it looks.
• 42:10
  It's much less boring that way.
• 42:13
  uh your gold medal from the
• 42:15
  west semi-final is it hung
• 42:17
  anywhere or just in a sock
• 42:19
  drawer it's it's in the
• 42:21
  garage it's just like
• 42:22
  hanging on a handle right
• 42:24
  now um we're not sure
• 42:29
  whether we're gonna leave
• 42:29
  it there or not I really
• 42:31
  like it because it's like
• 42:32
  it's so heavy it's just so
• 42:34
  it's solid gold and it's so
• 42:35
  thick I was like this is a nice metal
• 42:39
  but we'll we'll have to find
• 42:41
  a good spot for it because
• 42:42
  it's like it's just like
• 42:43
  hanging next to like
• 42:44
  another metal from another
• 42:46
  comp was there but did you
• 42:49
  hear what happened to ariel
• 42:51
  lowen when she tried to
• 42:52
  hang her metal from
• 42:53
  wadapalooza in the on the
• 42:54
  wall no what happened uh
• 42:57
  dylan was hanging it for
• 42:59
  and hit one of the main
• 43:00
  water lines with the nail
• 43:03
  and it started spraying all
• 43:05
  through the gym
• 43:06
  Oh my gosh.
• 43:07
  Okay, I remember that.
• 43:08
  I remember seeing something about that.
• 43:10
  But I couldn't remember what it was.
• 43:12
  Oh my gosh.
• 43:15
  So if you ever permanently hang it,
• 43:17
  just make sure not to hit a water line.
• 43:23
  We will avoid that for sure.
• 43:28
  I think she hasn't hung her
• 43:29
  bronze medal from the games
• 43:31
  because of that.
• 43:32
  They're afraid they're going
• 43:33
  to hit something else.
• 43:35
  Maybe just put just like hooks.
• 43:38
  Yeah.
• 43:38
  I don't know.
• 43:42
  Yeah.
• 43:43
  Don't want to break the waterline again.
• 43:46
  Yeah.
• 43:46
  It's cool.
• 43:47
  It's cool because people
• 43:48
  that do the garage thing,
• 43:49
  like I'm close with Emily
• 43:51
  Rolfe and like they built a
• 43:53
  shelf for every event win
• 43:55
  she has at the games.
• 43:57
  So those like little plaques that you get.
• 43:59
  Yeah.
• 44:00
  That she has a little shelf
• 44:01
  that has those across it.
• 44:04
  See, that's why an event wins.
• 44:07
  I need to win an event.
• 44:09
  There you go.
• 44:09
  We'll see.
• 44:11
  If you were going to win an
• 44:12
  event right now with your skill set,
• 44:16
  what would it have to be?
• 44:16
  I don't know.
• 44:19
  It'd have to be like the
• 44:20
  perfect combination of like, I don't know,
• 44:26
  like long,
• 44:29
  grimy movements that like slow you down.
• 44:36
  I don't even know.
• 44:37
  Just something's ugly, I feel like.
• 44:42
  Is it hard to think about
• 44:44
  winning an event with Tia Beck?
• 44:50
  No.
• 44:52
  No?
• 44:52
  I think... I love that answer.
• 44:55
  She's such a beast, but she is human,
• 45:00
  and I don't know.
• 45:03
  I think...
• 45:04
  I mean, as far as myself,
• 45:06
  because like I said,
• 45:06
  I don't know if I'm there
• 45:08
  yet where I'm just like event winner here,
• 45:11
  there, everywhere.
• 45:13
  I hope to be one day.
• 45:15
  But I mean,
• 45:16
  I know plenty of other people
• 45:18
  who can definitely get their event wins.
• 45:21
  So if that means anything.
• 45:23
  Yeah.
• 45:24
  I mean, she dominated the East,
• 45:26
  but she did not set like
• 45:28
  the records in every event.
• 45:29
  Right.
• 45:30
  Right.
• 45:31
  Like other people beat her
• 45:32
  in events around the world.
• 45:34
  But that's another thing
• 45:35
  where it's like when you're
• 45:37
  not competing against everybody,
• 45:39
  it changes things.
• 45:40
  So it's like maybe she could have,
• 45:43
  but I don't know.
• 45:45
  Yeah.
• 45:46
  But there are people that
• 45:47
  are so good at certain things.
• 45:49
  Yeah.
• 45:49
  Like Laura's so good at machines, right?
• 45:51
  Laura's just great at machines.
• 45:53
  Alex is great at legless rope climbs.
• 45:55
  Yeah.
• 45:57
  Like there are people that
• 45:57
  are just great at certain aspects.
• 46:00
  Yeah.
• 46:00
  Yeah, like, I don't think, I don't,
• 46:02
  there was no way Tia was
• 46:04
  going to beat Alex on event
• 46:05
  three with the Legos real times.
• 46:08
  Like,
• 46:09
  I think even if they went to head-to-head,
• 46:10
  I don't think so.
• 46:12
  Yeah.
• 46:13
  And same thing with a bunch
• 46:14
  of other events, so.
• 46:15
  Yeah.
• 46:17
  Well, speaking of Alex,
• 46:18
  and we talked about Colton, Swolverine,
• 46:21
  like, when I go through your Instagram,
• 46:23
  I don't know if there's a
• 46:24
  company that backs their
• 46:26
  athletes as much as
• 46:28
  Swolverine backs theirs.
• 46:30
  They're the best.
• 46:32
  I, and it's crazy.
• 46:33
  Cause I swollering was,
• 46:35
  they like believed in me pretty early on,
• 46:39
  which is really cool.
• 46:41
  Um,
• 46:42
  cause I started working with them like
• 46:44
  after it was like,
• 46:47
  I want to say early February of 2022.
• 46:50
  So that was before like
• 46:56
  I hadn't even competed as an
• 46:58
  individual at semifinals yet, you know,
• 47:00
  like,
• 47:01
  and they had already like kind of
• 47:03
  reached out to me and I had
• 47:05
  met Alex and all of that.
• 47:07
  And so I don't know, to me,
• 47:09
  that was really cool.
• 47:10
  And like, here we are now and they're just,
• 47:14
  they're the best.
• 47:16
  They seem to be the best at
• 47:19
  talent evaluation early on.
• 47:21
  Yeah.
• 47:22
  Yeah.
• 47:24
  noticed that just the people
• 47:25
  who like they work with I'm
• 47:27
  like wow like how do y'all
• 47:30
  even how do y'all know this
• 47:31
  like how do y'all find
• 47:32
  these people but yeah it's
• 47:34
  amazing but they like it's
• 47:37
  it seems like every fourth
• 47:38
  post of yours is them
• 47:41
  saying something nice about
• 47:42
  you yeah oh yeah they are
• 47:46
  totally like hype squad all
• 47:48
  the way I remember when I
• 47:49
  first made the games last year like I
• 47:52
  Alex,
• 47:52
  like she comes up to me and I think
• 47:54
  she just,
• 47:56
  she was just like shaking with
• 47:57
  excitement.
• 47:58
  And she just like, like she could,
• 47:59
  she almost couldn't even talk.
• 48:00
  And I was like, oh my gosh, like, like,
• 48:04
  oh gosh, I love her.
• 48:07
  Yeah.
• 48:07
  I've seen an interview with her on Savant.
• 48:10
  She just seems like such a
• 48:11
  genuine person and the
• 48:15
  company is just amazing.
• 48:16
  So she's such a sunshine.
• 48:22
  I like that.
• 48:22
  That's a great way to put it.
• 48:24
  Um, so here's another question for you.
• 48:27
  What's it like being married
• 48:28
  to your media guy?
• 48:32
  Well, he,
• 48:37
  he got like super into like
• 48:41
  cameras and lenses and photography,
• 48:43
  videography, all that.
• 48:45
  Um, just like randomly, he just was like,
• 48:49
  Oh, I want to learn about this stuff.
• 48:52
  Um,
• 48:53
  and I feel like he's always kind of had
• 48:54
  like a really good eye for it.
• 48:56
  Like even like when we were younger,
• 48:58
  like before the CrossFit
• 48:59
  days and I would just have him like,
• 49:01
  you know,
• 49:02
  take a photo of me if we're on
• 49:03
  vacation or something.
• 49:05
  And he was always just really good at it.
• 49:07
  Um, and then one day he was like, wow,
• 49:10
  like it'd be cool.
• 49:12
  Like,
• 49:12
  cause if he was like hanging out with
• 49:13
  people who had their cameras and stuff,
• 49:15
  he's like, oh,
• 49:16
  I want to like learn how to do that.
• 49:18
  Like that, that looks really nice.
• 49:20
  Um,
• 49:22
  And so he just started
• 49:22
  getting into it and he's
• 49:23
  really good at it.
• 49:24
  Um, and then he was like, you know what?
• 49:27
  I maybe I'll make like a,
• 49:29
  just like a media page so I
• 49:32
  can like post my work, you know?
• 49:34
  Cause he,
• 49:34
  at first he was like putting it
• 49:35
  on his own account.
• 49:36
  He was like, well, I feel like,
• 49:38
  I don't know, this is weird.
• 49:39
  Maybe I should just make my
• 49:40
  own page to put the stuff on.
• 49:42
  Um,
• 49:45
  And so, yeah, it's,
• 49:47
  it makes things easier if I
• 49:48
  need something quick or on the fly.
• 49:50
  I'm like, okay, I need this done, you know,
• 49:51
  this weekend,
• 49:52
  or can we get this done by
• 49:54
  tomorrow or something?
• 49:55
  I can just be like, all right, let's,
• 49:56
  let's knock this out.
• 49:58
  So it helps with a lot of things.
• 50:02
  Yeah.
• 50:02
  And it's gotta be awesome that like,
• 50:04
  he can just walk out to the
• 50:05
  garage and shoot you on a random day.
• 50:09
  You don't have to have anybody come in,
• 50:10
  into your house, any of that stuff,
• 50:13
  because he's just there doing it all.
• 50:15
  And he is really good at it.
• 50:17
  Yeah.
• 50:19
  And I mean, that's the thing.
• 50:20
  I mean, he has a million hobbies.
• 50:23
  He does so many things.
• 50:24
  So it's like,
• 50:26
  I'll try and bug him as much
• 50:28
  as I can if I need something done.
• 50:29
  But...
• 50:31
  Yeah.
• 50:32
  And he,
• 50:33
  he puts a lot of work into it if he
• 50:35
  does do it.
• 50:35
  And I'm like making him like, okay,
• 50:37
  I need this.
• 50:38
  And then he's like upstairs and he's like,
• 50:39
  okay,
• 50:39
  now I got to edit it and do this and
• 50:41
  that.
• 50:41
  And, but he does, he does a lot for me.
• 50:44
  So.
• 50:46
  Yeah.
• 50:46
  The thing I hate most about
• 50:47
  media is editing.
• 50:49
  If I had somebody to do all my editing,
• 50:51
  I would be, I would love this 110%.
• 50:54
  Now it's just 98% because I
• 50:56
  got to do editing.
• 50:58
  Yeah, like with videos and all that,
• 51:00
  I mean, that's a lot of work.
• 51:02
  So, I mean, like photos, it's pretty easy,
• 51:04
  you know,
• 51:05
  especially if you can get it
• 51:06
  right out of the camera and
• 51:07
  then just do like maybe a
• 51:09
  quick filter or whatever you want to do.
• 51:12
  But the videos, that's a lot of work.
• 51:16
  So, explain this to me.
• 51:23
  My shirt.
• 51:25
  Your shirt.
• 51:27
  Uh, it's,
• 51:27
  it seems to be a collage of you
• 51:30
  with the main picture.
• 51:31
  I think you've got a cup of,
• 51:34
  or a scoop of Wolverine in your mouth.
• 51:36
  That's my grains powder.
• 51:42
  Um, so like people have been asking me,
• 51:45
  cause it's like noble did
• 51:46
  the jerseys last year and
• 51:48
  everybody's like, Oh, like where,
• 51:51
  where can we get the jerseys or all this?
• 51:53
  And then I'm like, Oh, well,
• 51:55
  it's go rock is the title sponsor now.
• 51:58
  And I don't think they're doing that.
• 51:59
  I think that was just a noble thing.
• 52:00
  So there's nothing.
• 52:02
  Um,
• 52:04
  and then a couple of weeks passed by
• 52:06
  and I was like,
• 52:06
  maybe we should just do a shirt.
• 52:09
  Like, you know, it wouldn't be that hard,
• 52:11
  especially cause I'm good friends with,
• 52:14
  um,
• 52:14
  Rocky who owns Cambro and he makes
• 52:17
  just super awesome apparel
• 52:20
  and shirts and all this stuff.
• 52:21
  So I was like, okay, well,
• 52:23
  Maybe I could get with him
• 52:24
  and tell him the idea that we have and,
• 52:27
  you know, do that.
• 52:27
  So the main thing was like,
• 52:29
  we really liked the picture.
• 52:31
  And that was something that
• 52:32
  I'd done for Swolverine.
• 52:35
  Just something different.
• 52:36
  I was like,
• 52:36
  I'll just have the scoop and
• 52:39
  have it like it's a pipe,
• 52:41
  but it's like nutrition.
• 52:43
  It's my greens and reds.
• 52:45
  Um, so we'll use that.
• 52:47
  And then I was like, okay,
• 52:48
  if you can like cartoonize
• 52:51
  it or stylize it or do whatever you do.
• 52:53
  Um, and then he was like, well,
• 52:56
  maybe we could add in some
• 52:57
  more shots and here and there.
• 52:59
  I was like,
• 52:59
  I just want something that just
• 53:00
  says Doma in big letters
• 53:02
  that people can wear so
• 53:03
  they can wrap something at the games.
• 53:05
  So yeah, we decided to make a shirt.
• 53:08
  Uh,
• 53:09
  any thought behind the iron maiden shirt,
• 53:11
  big fan, or just like the shirt?
• 53:14
  Um,
• 53:16
  I like Iron Maiden.
• 53:17
  I just like rock in general.
• 53:19
  And he gave me that shirt and I was like,
• 53:22
  this is just an awesome
• 53:23
  shirt and I love it.
• 53:24
  And that's also kind of how
• 53:25
  I wanted my shirt to be
• 53:27
  because I like the fit.
• 53:30
  And so I was like, if we can just do the,
• 53:32
  like kind of the same thing there.
• 53:33
  And it was just perfect that
• 53:34
  it happened to also be the main photo.
• 53:36
  And so.
• 53:39
  Yeah.
• 53:40
  So cool.
• 53:41
  I'm such a music buff.
• 53:43
  Like that's my second love.
• 53:45
  My first love is doing this and CrossFit.
• 53:47
  Second love is music.
• 53:48
  So I always notice those
• 53:50
  like little touches of things.
• 53:52
  Um, Oh, I know.
• 53:54
  Nevermind.
• 53:54
  I was thinking, cause,
• 53:55
  cause you're in Columbus, right?
• 53:57
  Yeah.
• 53:58
  Okay.
• 53:59
  I was confusing with, uh, Cleveland, the,
• 54:03
  the rock and roll hall of fame.
• 54:05
  Yeah.
• 54:05
  We, my daughter is into music too.
• 54:08
  And so like for her birthday,
• 54:09
  every once in a while she
• 54:10
  wants to go to the rock and
• 54:12
  roll hall of fame.
• 54:13
  So we've done that.
• 54:15
  And it's a lot of fun.
• 54:16
  It's fun.
• 54:19
  And she got it all for me
• 54:22
  for that part for sure.
• 54:23
  So, so yeah.
• 54:29
  So that's all I really had for you today.
• 54:32
  I'm just super excited for you.
• 54:34
  It was fun watching you out there be the,
• 54:36
  the picture of consistency.
• 54:39
  Yes.
• 54:42
  Love it.
• 54:43
  And now, now you're, you're going for,
• 54:47
  because in this day and age,
• 54:48
  like when you get to the games,
• 54:49
  a hundred points means a lot.
• 54:51
  Yeah.
• 54:51
  So like event wins are super important.
• 54:55
  Yes.
• 54:55
  That was something I saw actually.
• 54:58
  Cause I mean, I didn't even know this.
• 55:00
  I mean, well,
• 55:01
  I know how a lot of times
• 55:02
  when the further it goes down,
• 55:04
  you're placing, you get even less points.
• 55:06
  Like instead of doing three each,
• 55:09
  you'll only get two each.
• 55:11
  But even when I was looking at people,
• 55:12
  if you got last place on an event,
• 55:14
  at least at semis, you got zero points.
• 55:17
  I was like, man,
• 55:17
  I would really suck to not get any.
• 55:22
  I'm like, what a difference.
• 55:24
  I would be remiss in not
• 55:26
  asking about the barbell incident.
• 55:28
  Because we've all done it.
• 55:31
  We've all done it.
• 55:33
  I've chipped teeth.
• 55:34
  I've done all those things.
• 55:37
  You took a barbell to the head.
• 55:39
  Yes.
• 55:41
  What exactly happened?
• 55:42
  So we're lifting.
• 55:47
  We,
• 55:47
  we had done clean and jerks and then we
• 55:49
  were going to snatch.
• 55:50
  So I was really pumped.
• 55:52
  Cause I had,
• 55:53
  I had P I hit a PR on my clean and jerk.
• 55:55
  So I was feeling really just
• 55:57
  like jazzed up and I'm like, yeah,
• 55:59
  I feel strong and powerful.
• 56:02
  And I was like, let's snatch.
• 56:03
  Let's let's hit a PR on the snatch.
• 56:05
  Um,
• 56:07
  And there was this cue that
• 56:09
  someone had given me
• 56:10
  literally like a couple of
• 56:11
  days before about when the bar path,
• 56:14
  when the bar passes to snap
• 56:16
  your chin down for that stability to,
• 56:18
  I don't know if it's
• 56:20
  something about loosening the traps,
• 56:21
  but it's like more of just
• 56:22
  like a stable position with
• 56:23
  your chin down.
• 56:24
  Um, and I was like, okay,
• 56:27
  I'm going to try that.
• 56:29
  And I was just literally
• 56:30
  warming up with the barbell
• 56:31
  and I snapped the chin down.
• 56:35
  definitely too early.
• 56:36
  And I basically just pulled
• 56:38
  it as hard as I possibly could.
• 56:40
  Cause I was feeling good.
• 56:41
  I was like, Oh, and next thing I know,
• 56:45
  it's just like blackness
• 56:47
  and I'm on the floor and, um,
• 56:50
  all this liquid is coming
• 56:51
  out and I'm just like,
• 56:52
  why is my nose bleeding?
• 56:54
  Um, and why are my eyes closed?
• 56:58
  But then I realized that my
• 56:59
  nose was not bleeding.
• 57:02
  Um,
• 57:02
  and it just took me a few minutes to
• 57:04
  understand kind of what was happening.
• 57:07
  Um, we, we walked away and I like,
• 57:09
  cause my head was,
• 57:10
  my hand was holding my head,
• 57:12
  but I didn't register why I
• 57:13
  was doing that.
• 57:14
  And then eventually I
• 57:15
  started asking the question, I'm like,
• 57:16
  can I move my hand?
• 57:18
  And they're like, um, let's try it.
• 57:19
  And then I move it,
• 57:20
  but it's just continuing to
• 57:21
  just squirt out all the blood.
• 57:23
  And so I'm like, Oh, um,
• 57:26
  but I was just so annoyed.
• 57:27
  I was like, man,
• 57:28
  like I really wanted to snatch.
• 57:30
  Um,
• 57:31
  But my coach and I kind of
• 57:33
  decided that it was a good thing cause it,
• 57:35
  it slowed me down.
• 57:36
  Um,
• 57:39
  it forced me to take a little bit of a
• 57:42
  step back, um, when it was necessary.
• 57:48
  And you said it was an empty barbell.
• 57:50
  Yeah.
• 57:51
  Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
• 57:53
  That's what people would ask about, like,
• 57:54
  oh, how much weight was it?
• 57:56
  I'm like, guys,
• 57:56
  if there was weight on the bar,
• 57:58
  it would have moved slower.
• 57:59
  I wouldn't have pulled it as hard.
• 58:01
  Or I would have pulled it as hard,
• 58:03
  but it would have, like, when it's empty,
• 58:05
  you can pull it so much
• 58:06
  harder and faster versus, like, you know,
• 58:09
  the bar's going to move so
• 58:10
  much slower when there's a
• 58:11
  bunch of weight on it.
• 58:13
  Yeah, every time I've hit myself,
• 58:15
  it's been with an empty barbell.
• 58:17
  Yeah.
• 58:18
  Every time.
• 58:19
  Yeah.
• 58:21
  Yeah.
• 58:22
  The only exception is I went overhead once,
• 58:24
  my shoulder gave out,
• 58:26
  and it came down on me.
• 58:29
  Yeah.
• 58:30
  I don't.
• 58:32
  I thought about that happening.
• 58:34
  And I'm like,
• 58:35
  I need to stop thinking about that.
• 58:37
  I don't want that to happen.
• 58:39
  Yeah.
• 58:40
  It actually,
• 58:41
  that was more of like a glancing blow.
• 58:43
  It didn't hurt as much as the up,
• 58:45
  the power like up through it.
• 58:48
  yeah it because that's the
• 58:50
  thing like going up that's
• 58:52
  why it like turned into it
• 58:53
  was just like a flap the
• 58:56
  and that's I think that's
• 58:57
  why it was so hard for it
• 58:58
  to stop um the bleeding for
• 59:01
  so many hours was just I
• 59:02
  don't know just like the
• 59:03
  way like the u-shape was
• 59:05
  like I don't know well
• 59:08
  here's here's a hint if
• 59:10
  you're a male and you shave
• 59:11
  your face and you cut your
• 59:12
  face it just will not stop bleeding
• 59:16
  there's something about like
• 59:17
  the the blood vessels in
• 59:19
  your face are so close to
• 59:20
  the surface like it's hard
• 59:22
  to get it to stop yeah like
• 59:24
  your head is just so
• 59:25
  vascular that's what
• 59:26
  everybody was saying you
• 59:26
  know like the head just
• 59:27
  bleeds it just bleeds and
• 59:29
  bleeds and I was like okay
• 59:32
  but it's it's interesting
• 59:33
  because I had literally I'd
• 59:34
  hit myself in this exact
• 59:35
  same spot before when I was
• 59:37
  like 12 and it was the exact same thing
• 59:40
  I didn't cut this,
• 59:41
  like the skin didn't cut or anything,
• 59:43
  but I had got a concussion
• 59:44
  in the exact same spot that
• 59:45
  I got a concussion a few months ago.
• 59:47
  And,
• 59:48
  but it was just like that time it was
• 59:51
  like concussed.
• 59:52
  And then my nose was like huge.
• 59:54
  Cause I had broken my nose
• 59:55
  and it was just like bright yellow,
• 59:58
  but this time it was like
• 59:59
  concussion and then stitch,
• 1:00:02
  but it was like the same thing.
• 1:00:07
  honestly last question once
• 1:00:10
  you podium at the games
• 1:00:12
  where are you going to go
• 1:00:13
  to like relax after the
• 1:00:14
  games because I know you're
• 1:00:18
  an outdoors girl that
• 1:00:19
  you've got to get out and
• 1:00:21
  do something yeah
• 1:00:23
  definitely got to get out
• 1:00:24
  and do something just kind
• 1:00:26
  of like whatever I don't
• 1:00:27
  even like I don't even care
• 1:00:30
  to like plan anything I
• 1:00:31
  just want to like go
• 1:00:33
  completely just like rogue
• 1:00:36
  No plan, no cares, no routines.
• 1:00:39
  Just like, I don't know,
• 1:00:41
  get in the car and just
• 1:00:41
  like drive somewhere and
• 1:00:43
  don't come back for a while.
• 1:00:46
  There's certain things that
• 1:00:47
  we do have planned.
• 1:00:48
  Like there's like this,
• 1:00:50
  a couple of camping trips
• 1:00:51
  and stuff coming up.
• 1:00:55
  But yeah,
• 1:00:55
  I just want to get out of town
• 1:00:57
  and not care.
• 1:01:01
  Is there any plan to go to
• 1:01:02
  Scotland for the Rogue Invitational?
• 1:01:06
  Yes, we are definitely,
• 1:01:08
  definitely planning to do that.
• 1:01:11
  So,
• 1:01:12
  and it's just perfect time of the year.
• 1:01:14
  It's early November.
• 1:01:15
  So the idea is that we would
• 1:01:17
  go compete and then hang
• 1:01:20
  out for like a week or two
• 1:01:22
  and just run around a little bit,
• 1:01:24
  whether we want to hop over
• 1:01:26
  to Ireland or go to main
• 1:01:29
  Europe or whatever.
• 1:01:31
  Yeah, that would be a blast.
• 1:01:34
  Well, Abby, as always, super fun.
• 1:01:37

• 1:01:39

• 1:01:41

• 1:01:42
