BP: I’m focused on weightlifting right now….. zombie killing is coming closer to Regionals, lol!
GGS: It’s on all of our minds this time of year, how do the holidays effect your training and diet?
BP: I usually treat myself around the holidays and Super Bowl, but I try to still eat clean and get my WODʼs in.
GGS: On the flip side, is competing in The Ice Bowl going to change your plans in the weeks leading up to the event?
BP:No, CrossFit makes me ready for anything! I’m using The Ice Bowl to see where I am in my training and I just love competing and having fun! But I am going to give it all I got right now.

BP:No, not really just Life AS:RX… I never hear about the competitions around our area.
GGS: If you could set any world record, what would it be?
