SATURDAY!

Crossfit is a Journey, not a Destination.


Thanks to everyone (read: no one) who came out to join me in my first .com WOD. It was really warm and muggie outside which made it that much more enjoyable! My overall time was 22:30 which I was pleased with because I was averaging 8:00 per round on the first two rounds (round = one run and 21 lifts).

Leanna helped me distinguish between the types of lifts (Thanks Coack L!) but it really didn't matter because I only lasted 10 Strict Presses in the first round before I switched to Push Press for the last 11 reps. The second round was of course Push Presses and the last round Coach L told me to "get under the bar" which I did a little but but I eventually morphed into a Push Press again. Apparently I like Push Presses :)

The runs I kept consistent at 5:00 per 800M. I know it's not impresseive but this is me we're talking about. I'm not a runner. Period. I measured the distance with my car...from my office door south on 222 to the second lamp post past the intersection of 222 and 221A St. Yes the two "Streets" do cross!

Overall I was a great experience! I'm going to reach out further to different styles of Crosfit workouts. I Love the Langley Box and but I'm learning there's a hugh Crosfit World out there waiting to be discovered. Crossfit is a Journey, not a Destination. I'm looking forward to the next .com experience. Maybe if I do a few on my own, the "big kids" will invite me to play in their sandbox. It's worth a try! :)
