My CrossFit Journal (Year 2, week 12)

Holy quacamole. So many power cleans this week at CrossFit. I ended up getting an unexpected number during those and I hit the 100lb mark! I was pretty surprised and happy about that.

Now, let’s start off with last week’s WOD re-caps.

The short:

Sunday — Rest
Monday — Rest
Tuesday — CrossFit
Wednesday — CrossFit

Friday — CrossFit
Saturday— Rest

The long:

year 2, week 12, day one

3 rounds:
12 toes to bar
1 minute tuck hold

RX: 30 burpee Muscle Ups
Sc: GI Jane: 100 burpee pullups

I don’t remember the time limit for this, but I ended up doing scaled obviously, and completed 66 burpee pullups.

 year 2, week 12, day two

Power Cleans
3-3-3-3-3

What I completed:  Yep I completed two more sets than I was “supposed” to. 70lbs – 75lbs – 80lbs – 85lbs – 90lbs – 95lbs – 100lbs 

For time:
100 double unders

21-15-9
Ring Dips
Front Rack Lunge
100 Double Unders

I think we had a 25 min time limit for this. I got to the last round, and did 50 double unders but realized it was slowing me down so I did 250 single skips there after. So… did I complete it? I have no idea.

2013 Reebok CrossFit Games – Canada Regional East

CFGames 2013One of my coaches at the local CrossFit box I go to, was the only female to qualify for the Canada Regional East games in our tri-city area. We were pretty excited about it and a bunch of us drove to Mississauga yesterday to cheer her on in her two of seven WODS she had to complete in the three days of the games.

CAN-EAST-ANDI2

The first event I watched her, she completed 100 wallballs (14lbs), 100 chest to bar, 100 pistols (in the picture below), and 100 one-armed snatches with 50lbs. Andi

She’s an incredible strong, motivated athlete who I look up to at CrossFit.  She was amazing yesterday. I got chills just watching her and my heart was just pumping for her! So strong and I loved every minute of being there.

I can tell just from this 2013 year alone that my love of CrossFit is right up there with climbing and I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it. Almost two and a half years in and I’m not ready to stop yet.

The two photos above were not taken by me. In fact I grabbed them off her (my coach) FB page. I did manage to take more than a fair share of pictures yesterday, so here they are!

Coach Andi (yellow bra) cheering on another athlete to finish her 21-15-9 deadlifts (205lbs) and 24″ box jumps.
