Six gyms, five weeks, four flights across the Atlantic, three competitions, two once in a lifetime ticket pulls, and one person to share it with 😍. What a ride. I’m never looking to get sick, but getting put down for the last few days has almost been a plus since it’s made me stop and smell the flowers. Grateful for it all (especially the floor seats Bijan Heravi) but man, I can’t wait to tuck into a consistent training rhythm again.

Whenever I’ve finally hit the buzzer for the last time, I’m certain I’ll feel the most pride in my heart about competing as a Rogue Invitational athlete. I say it every time, but it bears repeating - this is the best event in fitness. Gathering the fittest and strongest athletes, most competent staff and volunteers, coolest equipment, and best fans is truly legendary stuff. Special thanks to Aberdeen for three great years of memories here in Scotland, excited to see where the best show in our space goes from here!

As my career has progressed I’ve begun to think about what my goals for an event like the Rogue Invitational should be. In American sports there’s a concept of the veteran athlete as a journeyman, a professional who doesn’t always win, but does what he can to do right for the organization and continues to find ways to stay in the game. As the concept of standing on top of the podium has moved further out of the realm of likelihood, I’ve increasingly found myself coming back to the two rules of conduct I once heard regarding athletes in this situation -

1. Be a tough out
2. Put on a good show

Excited to lean into each of those things this weekend, see ya in Scotland.

Pretty solid sleep, despite traveling from the UK the night before!

Chandler did not take many steps but he did lift all the weights!

Pat Vellner. Your favorite CrossFitters favorite CrossFitter. The champs of the golden age are rightfully the faces of the sport, but Patrick Vellner is arguably the heart of the competitive space for what he represents. To me and many others, his capacity, indomitable spirit and independent streak represented the best of the fitness counterculture. I’d planned to do this after the king of the Rogue Invitational finished his final year there, but in typical Pat fashion things didn’t go exactly to plan. That said, here goes my attempt at writing a career retrospective in his patented sarcastic tone and engagement maximizing “swipe and review” format. Get ready to scroll and read bud!

From the 2016 season onwards, I wanted to be Pat. While I had a lot of work to do in the chest hair and bald spot departments, it seemed like we had similar anthropometric strengths and weaknesses, so I set out to study everything I could about him. After a year of study, I got a chance to see what the hype was about at the 2017 Granite Games (🙏🏿) where Pat was kind enough to give me a few of my first “welcome to the big leagues” moments. Firstly, a guy who I knew was a terrible swimmer beat me in the swim, which served to let me know how good the best were at the stuff they were “bad” at. Secondly, we squared off in a burpee and legless workout - something which was in my wheelhouse. I was confident I could get to the second part of the workout faster than anyone, and I’ll never forget finishing my rope climbs and looking up to see Pat had already knocked out quite a few burpees into the next chunk of the workout. This let me know how “bad” I was at the stuff I thought I was good at. Two great lessons, taught for free, what a guy. Class was in session.

I probably would’ve picked someone else to pattern myself after if I’d have known that even 10 years later I wouldn’t be as good as he was as a rookie, but by 2019 it was too late to pick an archetype to chase so I was kind of stuck in Pat’s shadow (alongside the rest of the men’s field who weren’t named Fraser). At the inaugural I was reminded of how big that shadow was during a pre-event grocery run with Noah and

Two weeks out so it’s probably time to mix in some Rogue Invitational prep, final slide sums up how I truly feel about being back on the log/pegboard (pure joy and excitement)

Came to the UK on a whim 18 months ago to try and convince OM I could program for ATHX GAMES and still compete at a high level, cut to today and we’re officially here for the long haul. Grateful for the chance to prove the boss right as a MARCHON ONLINE TRAINING coach, be sure to come say hi if you’re around over the next few years!

This last weekend of Gymreapers Wodapalooza SoCal was not just a competition, but also an attempt to try and a sport, brand, event, fandom, coaching staff, and team how much I rocked with them amidst circumstances that sometimes make that hard to see. If that care wasn’t directly obvious then hopefully me spelling it out here at least tells ya how much love I got for the people I got to stand beside over this all timer of a weekend.

Young Lydia Fish was a monster all weekend. She handled ALL the burpees at the end of the weekend, dragged me across our box jumps and wall balls, and was a critical part of the girls day one wins. She’s tough as nails, and a super cool teammate. She’s got a phenomenal future because of how hard she works so it’s cool that I got to throw down with her at the beginning of her career.

Captain Noah Ohlsen! The big boss has always been the heart of the team and event, and he led from the front all weekend. He came through massively on the bar complex and handstand hold which kept us in the game. He’s still as good once as he ever was, and he’s one of the best to ever do it. Nobody you’d rather have to face down a big moment than Noah and nobody I trust more to have my back on the comp floor.

I’ve known Hannah Black for a few years, but the version of her from this weekend was a total revelation. She was frequently the best athlete on the floor, and her resume truly undersells how good she is getting. Can only imagine how much more improvement she’ll stack over the next few seasons.

Good old Travis Mayer! The big boss fug extremely deep to help us bring home the win on Aftershock, fought through injury and pain from a long year to get on the floor, and is a consummate teammate, human, friend and professional. Folks have never really given him the credit he deserves for being really good at this for 13 years and it’s a shame, he’s a legend.

The Day 1 MVP Anikha Greer hard carried us to start the competition and kept it rocking all weekend. Her growth as a competitor over the last few years has been sick to see and she’s one of Jessi and I’s favorite people that we’ve had the pleasure of training and competing with. Peak A
