Dustin, "Dog Whisperer"

Now, because Dustin was super stealth about his birthday (Sunday), I didn’t get to interview him for this profile. But, because I know he has a sense of humor, I took the liberty of filling in the blanks myself with my educated guesses and smart ass remarks.

Drank Kool-Aid: Feb 2010
Favorite Lift/Movement: Power Cleans (based on how quickly he picked them up)
Least Favorite: OHS (but not for long)
Favorite WOD: Fight Gone Bad (isn’t everyone’s?)
Least Favorite WOD: Annie (based on the ratio of lashes to double unders)
CrossFit Goals: Handstand Press, Planche, and one day winning the March Mustache challenge.
Best CrossFit Accomplishment: Getting his strict muscle up on his first try, and taming CrossFit Intrepid’s vicious mascot, Nalu.

Dustin found us a month ago and experienced Fight Gone Bad as his introduction to CrossFit (seems to be a theme with some of our athletes!). Since then, he began the linear progression and we’ve seen quite a climb in his weights. A natural gymnast, worked Tucker’s muscle up progression a couple of times and then surprised himself by getting his muscle up on his first attempt! All I heard was “I got it!” and I turned my head to see him coming up from the dip.

When not at the gym, Dustin can be found taming wild dogs, searching for pull up bars while traveling around the country (to win the March Challenge), and taking long runs on the beach at sunrise.
