Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Talking Elite Fitness, Sean Woodland, Tommy Marquez,

Lauren Khalil, and Brian Friend here with you on a beautiful Tuesday. Brian made it back safely

from Berlin. How was your trip over there, man? Man, it was incredible. I was really looking forward

to the European semi-final. I do think that there's potentially a conversation of if Europe

can support two semi-finals, but at the same time, as one semi-final, it is extremely competitive,

and the European crowd was phenomenal across the board, and I think that having one elevates

every element of it, and I just feel blessed to have been able to be a part of it.

It was funny because while I was watching the broadcast, I got a chance to watch,

and I would hear a little factoid or something come out, and I'd be like, yep, that was from Brian.

That was from Brian. That score would have been fourth in the east. I go, yep, that was Brian.

Or you don't know, because it's having Brian and everybody on site helping you out with that

stuff. I mean, you get good stuff, and when Joel or Madford say something, I'd be like, yep,

that was Brian. Well, Brian's Brian. Exactly. It's a nice

element of having the same workouts all three weeks, is that you can start to do some storytelling

in that regard, and by the final week, it's easy to draw back on and put into context of how

impressive a performance is, either that we're seeing live in Europe, or to say like, that was

the best here, but it only would have been this good in North America. Yeah. Well, we're glad you're

back safely, and now we, I mean, it's kind of crazy to think that the next stop is the CrossFit

Games, and we say this every year, and every year it's true. It's like, I can't believe it's almost

here, and we're blank and we'll be in Madison, and then it'll be over, and we'll be like, well,

that went fast. Eight weeks. Eight weeks of the day. God, get on it. Luckily, that's a good thing,

since I did two semi-finals, a lot of my research has already done. I just need to add to it,
