Last Week Stuff:
The Regional Athlete Charity Clinic was a hit. It was cool to see Diablo’s Regional Athletes working one-on-one with members. There were quite a few new skills learned, including Zach’s first bar muscle up with Coach Travis. About 30 Diablo members showed up and ran the Devil Mountain Run 5k or 10k run, hosted by Diablo’s Chris McCrary. The weather was amazing & the course was fun. Please put this on your calendar for 2019. And, a portion of their registration fee is going to help Diablo athletes cover travel expenses for the Regionals! Moxie’s Taryn Pascal competed in her 1st sanctioned Oly comp and hit all 6 lifts! And, on May 12th, Moxie’s Jimmy Quilenderino completed his 1st ever, 100k race (after training for a 50k!). I sat down for a FBLive with Coach Carrie Olson to talk Oly lifting and the Diablo Spring Classic.
