Busy times

Last week Kirk Karwoski and I put on a seminar in downtown DC. Good turnout, great venue (thanks to Alise and Colonel Rob) and lots of solid information imparted about the three root-core resistance exercises. We’ll be getting about the business of trying to splice something worthwhile together in the near future from the video. Today I venture back down to D.C. yet again, this time to hang out for a few days with old friend Pavel Tsatsouline. He’s in town putting on a seminar for a secretive federal agency and we decided to take the opportunity to get together. I used to work in this section of town, the infamous K. Street corridor, and know the area like the back of my hand. I will report back my no-doubt interesting stay with the impenetrable Russian. I love to talk shop with Mr. P. on account of his perspective is so unique that he always has fresh perspective. We have many common interests so the conversation is always lively and the subject matter arcane and obscure, perhaps relating some odd feat of Arthur Saxon, maybe some kettlebell scuttlebutt or tales of men and times long gone. We share stories of recent adventures (he has just returned from a nine-country European barnstorm tour that likely has a few tales worth re-telling) – I’m bringing my ancient laptop to do a little urban writing from the suite overlooking D.C. crème de la crème Connecticut and K…a long way from the Catoctin Mountain fire-trails and snake-strewn paths that I’ll be pounding today as soon as it gets light enough to see. I will be unable to show up at our regular 12-noon live-online chat tomorrow. I will get back to the mountains Wednesday afternoon then Friday morning at 5am I need to be on the road to Richmond, Virginia for the annual AAU powerlifting championships. I started out lifting in the Amateur Athletic Union as a 14-year old Olympic lifter and it seems fitting that after all these years I’m back and participating in AAU competitions. I have enlisted the services of an old Maryland Athletic Club pal, Jim Roberts to help me out at this competition: Jim has graciously offered to assist me in coaching a gaggle of lifters at the three day power-fest. On Friday of this week I could have as many as a half-dozen lifters lifting. It’s tough to coach one lifter properly so Jim’s expertise and assistance will make a world of difference. We’ll work with athletes on Saturday and again on Sunday. It’ll be exhausting but “it is what it is” as Ken Fantano would say. I’ll likely not get around to writing much for the next ten days but no doubt I’ll have a lot of new info to share once this little series of adventures is over. Adieu for now.
