Happy Thanksgiving from State College, PA with Game Meat and Crossfit

Home, in Happy Valley and now famous for more than its creamery ice-cream. Oh well.

Last night, my mom made an amazing paleo meal. Harold, a fellow rural state collegian, killed an Elk out west this hunting season. For dinner last night, we ate Harold's game - fresh Elk meat in mushroom sauce and bacon. BACON! Because I ate my usual absurd amount of meat, I decided that it was necessary to make it to crossfit this morning.
mmmm Elk loin with nuts and bacon

A few days ago I emailed the two crossfit affiliates here in State College. From the websites, I determined that Crossfit Nittany was the one that reminded me most of Crossfit Center City. And - they happened to have a workout scheduled for thanksgiving day.

I was there this morning for about an hour and a half. We did a looonggg 3 round metcon
3 round of
25 wall balls
25push presses (45/75)
400 m run
25 kettle bell swings (1/1.5)
25 Double unders (i substituted 75 singles)

I judged the gym correctly - indeed they had a great community feel and everyone was really well spirited. I'm going to go back again tomorrow. Now, I'm ready to eat Turkey and TONS of food later tonight.
