This is Tom, a 53 year old hunting enthusiast who started training several months ago to prepare for a hunt of a lifetime. He decided to prepare his most important piece of equipment for the hunt, his body, by training with the CrossFit Summit cohort.
Tom is back with us this week and yes, he was successful in the hunt: a trophy class deer with an almost 36 inch wide rack. More interesting are a couple of comments his guide made. During the hunt, Tom was asked by his fatiguing 29 year old guide to walk behind so that the guide could slow down the pace. Later, the guide asked him in disbelief if he was really 53 years old. When he confirmed his age, the guide's comment was "You're a bad dude." Nope, he simply trains regular and hard using constantly varied functional movement. Apparently not all hunters approach preparation for the event in the same way........
