Travis completed the Mt. Hood Scramble '09 race in Oregon this past weekend. The race was a 10k that covered mountains, rocks (big ones), trails, rivers, mud, steep climbs and more. This off-road trail race is a tough one that tests not only your running capability but also your capacity for enduring the elements as Travis said he forded rivers and climbed sections that meant pulling and clawing your way up. Running, pushing, pulling. Almost sounds like a CrossFit WOD. Sounds like a blast and let's put a team together next year!
Jim was able to drop-in and visit CrossFit Santa Barbara while he is on the road. They welcomed him in their box yesterday for a Tabata Something Else WOD and even reviewed some fundamentals with his nephew that he brought with him. Great to see the community looking out for a traveling CrossFitter. Get back soon Jim!
6 weeks ago I met Pukey the Clown half way through my first WOD ever and on Sunday I completed a grueling, yet very fun, 10k scramble on Mt. Hood that was tailor-made for crossfitters. Thanks Tom and Michelle for all the help. I'm looking forward to competing in more events like this in the future and improving my performance with each passing WOD.

Congrats, Travis!
It would be great to have a Snoridge team for this next year! Sounds like a great challenge.

We WILL get a team together. That race looks awesome and judging by the smile on Travis's face the running can't be that bad!
From Pukie to conquering the mountains, that is pretty good stuff.
