Weekend at the Regional

Had a really awesome weekend at the Southwest Regional in Colorado.  Gil did really awesome and so did Mason.  Gil took 15th in the men and if you consider the thousands that started the process to get to where they are, that is pretty awesome.  It was pretty awesome to see a huge mass of people competing in the name of fitness.   Here are some pictures of the weekend:

How awesome is it that an 8 year old did 406 reps!!!! It is awesome to see different age levels push themselves a little harder in their own way than they normally would all for the sake of fitness.
