Good Luck Alex!

If you get an inkling that your workout is really tough this week, I want you to keep a thought in the back of your head this week for your fellow Wine Country CrossFitter, Alex Kongsgaard.  Yesterday, Alex set off on quite an ambitious journey.  For the next 50 days, Alex will be traveling by way of outrigger canoe a grand total of 1200 miles from Seattle, WA all the way up to Glacier Bay, AK.  This is no doubt a fantastic feat which he has been preparing for over the last few years.  Packed along with him, he is only taking the most essential of gear, which he can carry in a single waterproof duffel bag. Since he is a strict Paleo eater, Alex took it upon himself to dehydrate a large amount of Paleo food to take with him on the beginning of the trip. (If you can’t read the note, it is a list of the following:20lb meat, 9 onions, 3 peppers, 3lbs mushrooms, 3 eggplant, 5 zucchini, 3 cauliflower, and 5 beets.

We would like to take a moment to wish Alex the best of luck and safe travels! 

If you are interested in seeing how his travels are going, Alex is wearing a tracking beacon, you can see his progress and messages that he is sending out at Find Me Spot.
