Back from the States

So I made it back ( almost in one piece)

That has got to be one of the most enjoyable weeks I have had, and one of the most painful, one of the most intensive, one of the hottest and one where i missed Jackie and the kids A LOT!!

So heres what happened...

We left Karls on the Tuesday morning nice and early and got the airport on time. As we were checking in though we got taken to the side and had our bags checked. Now, we think this may have been due to us looking very suspicious in our hooded tops baseball caps and back packs!!

The flight to Charlotte was good. Food was not to bad, inflight entertainment was ok to...Im man enough to say I watched"Hitch". We only hit some small bits of turbulance but the prloblem with that was I was in the toilet at the time trying to do a pee...yes tou can see why that could have been messy.

Got to Charlotte and we had a 3 hour stop over. So what does a Scotsman and an Englishman do in a foreign place with time to kill...we went to the pub. Well 3 pubs actually. had some food and quite a few beers. Now that would have been ok, if we werent supposed to hire a car at San Diego.

Got to San Diego and decided we were to drunk to hire a car. So we hired a taxi. All Im going to say is it was expensive, but it did mean that we got to Jeffs quicker than if we were driving.

Jeff and his family were amazing, putting up 2 (almost) complete strangers for a week. We trained with Jeff on the Wednesday and Thursday with his training partner Steve, and we also took part in the Crossfit classes...Ill post results and workouts later

On the Friday, Saturday and Sunday we had the Cert, and it was amazing. Ill post more details when I find my wee note pad that I wrote all our workouts in. I have some good phots to post and some still to get developed.

The guys at Brand X are amazing making us feel at home, and also handing our asses to us on a plate!!

I had a absolutley fantastic time, and I plan on going back for another cert next year, this time taking Jackie with me.
