Last day on the road today... dropped into another CF class. Had a really solid workout... haven't clean and jerked in a very long time and it surprisingly felt really good. Additionally, the conditioning workout really rocked me... it was very challenging crossfit, felt like an open workout.

Hike about 10-11 Miles out and back with about 3000 ft elevation gain over the first half ... hiked to near the summit of Thompson Peak in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness, the highest peak of the range ... my friend was struggling with the last bit of the ascent, so we called the hike before actually reaching the summit. I would definitely like to go back some day and finish this peak out. Probably the most difficult hike I've ever done and one of the most beautiful.
