One, two, three, go!

Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Talking to Lead Fitness.

I'm Sean Woodland, joined as always by Lauren Kalil.

Lauren, how are you?

I'm great, but Sean, I think you're better after the concert that you went to because if y'all haven't been to Sean's Instagram, the most magical moment with him and Max. It was fun. We had a, epic. We had a blast. I can talk about a little bit about it later, but it was, that is, that is a, I'll take that night to my grave, man. We had such a, it was so fun.

And featuring Tommy Marquez.

Tommy, what's up?

Good evening.

Good evening.

What kind of manual do you get into today?

Well, we had inspections, put up silk fencing, finish hanging.

I have cut and bent a lot of rebar in the last few days. So look at you. With the handbender too, like, yeah. Here's the thing, though, when that place is all said and done, you know how much you're going to appreciate it? Because you like, you did it. Oh, my gosh. That's awesome. Yeah. That's outstanding. Well, on today's episode, we're going to take a look back at, of course, the CrossFit Games. And now that we have Lauren here, spend a good portion of the beginning of the show talking about the in-person experience because that is something that neither Tommy nor I were able to take part in. We're going to hear from some of the athletes. Lauren did, I don't know,

572 interviews. What was it? What was the total that you did? I mean, I swear to God,

every time I turned around, there was a new interview up. I'm like, how is she doing this?

Honestly, like, you should have seen the setup and the way that I'm holding the camera

with the phone while I'm trying to refresh the live stream on my computer. And then when I would like hit a dead spot, I would try to hold it in the air as if that was going to help. But I had a system. As long as the internet was good, we were Gucci. I, man, yeah, kudos to you.

Like, that was, that was impressive.

I mean, like I said, every time I looked, you got on social media of the games, it's like, oh, here's four new interviews from Lauren Kulow with all these different athletes. So you must have spoken to everybody. But we're going to hear from a select few from this past weekend. And then we'll also take kind of a look forward as far as like what we think needs to happen now to keep the momentum that CrossFit gain from, I think, what was a pretty, really

entertaining weekend in Albany.

But before we do any of that, we want to thank our sponsor for today.

And that is Balance of Nature. And I've said it before. I'll continue to say it, is that Crossfitters, you know, we're pretty good at our diets. But the one thing that we tend to skip is the fruits and the veggies. And, you know, Tommy, you were joking about it last week with me. I was alone with my son for six days. You know, you start cooking for a kid. Like dinner when dad cooked, it's, it's, you know, 60s NFL offense. We're just doing basic dives. Like things don't get too out of that. Things don't get too out of control. This is not a three or four course meal. It's, you know, basic meat and potatoes and that's it. So I didn't make a lot of veggies. That's where balance of nature came in in handy because I used their vegetable supplements. Took care of me, got some fruit in me as well, courtesy of their

supplements. So, yeah, listen, if you want to make it easy and convenient, balance of nature
