WHAT IS THE EVENT?

Come and join us in sunny San Diego....

The OPT Camp (aka Big Dawg Bash) is a burning desire I have to FINALLY bring together those that have been and are still involved in the pursuit of fitness through the Big Dawg blog.  The event is for any OPT Big Dawg, OPT client or anyone who wants to be part of the OPT community.  You require no affiliation, no previous connection with OPT - just a good heart and good spirit!

Friday evening and saturday will be a chance to learn from those within our community including some of you about living a larger life through this journey we are on towards defining what fitness is and what we find in the process.

Topics covered will include a deeper look into testing vs. training, long term fitness athlete development, a NEW definition of fitness as well as learnings from masters in their respective field of naturopathy, psychconeuroimmunology, business and military through a short TED like approach presentation line up; and of course, the weekend would not be complete without a fitness competition - this will be the first ever OPTathlon; event details to be released in mid August - get prepped

See you then,
James

Event 2:
Standing Triple Jump
- The first phase is a hop from a stand still, which requires the athlete to take-off from a two-footed stand, split in mid air, and land on the preferred foot. The next phase is a long stretched step, landing on the opposite foot. The last phase is the jump, where the athlete lands on both feet: Allowed 3 attempts
- MUST stick 2-foot landing in order for it to count - i.e. both feet planted, meausre it taken from back of heel of foot furthest back
- feet sliding upon final land is considered a failed attempt
- falling forward is fine as long as feet remain in place for measure - i.e. tipping forward once landed
- falling backward will result in a measure taken from the point of your body furthest back towards take off area
