It has been a while since my last post in December.  I've been pretty busy traveling and training recently.  I had a nice break at home in Hawaii and got to see my family.  It was a little crazy trying to workout while also trying to relax.  I left home on the 1^st, got back to Ithaca late on the 2^nd and went back to work on the 3^rd.  I was able to work out with Adam Smith and Brad Pataky for a couple days after the Penn State dual on the 7th.  I headed back to the OTC for a training camp on January 10^th.  I worked out 7 times in 4 days and was pretty sore when I left.  I took a day off when I returned to Ithaca and have been training hard since.  I went with the team down to Lehigh for the dual meet yesterday and got back late last night.  I'm excited to leave for Krasnoyarsk on Monday, but a little nervous about the cold weather that awaits me in Siberia.  I weigh-in on the 27^th and wrestle on the 28^th.  I know there will be a lot of good wrestlers out there and am looking forward to the competition.
