tremendous MOXIE for her size…

The qualifier was a lot of fun, in he crossfit sense of fun. But really, cheering everyone on is fun.  The first workout kicked my butt and made me really mad. I want to re-do it so badly! I always forget to jerk the weight to get it overhead and end up push pressing. When you’re small like me doing 85#, that’ s pretty much a joke. So after my 7th of 10 and having to drop the weight and clean it up several times on failed reps, Huff makes the suggestion to split jerk. Well, hello? Duh. So the last three reps I did 1-2-3, no problem. No rest, no failure, no drops. So, my theory is that if I had remembered to jerk the weight, I probably would have been about two minutes faster. My time was 7:37. The fastest girl RX’d time was 3 something…from Katie the Machine.

The 2nd workout was a bit deceiving. I was shooting at 8 rounds. Ha. I got 5+3. It wasn’t as hard overall, but those box jumps get my heart rate up so high that the pull ups take me forever.

Tomorrow we go back for more…nut heads that we are. The workout is going to be a killer.

5 rounds for time:

15 Wall Balls (10#, 10ft target)

15 SDHP (55#)

15 Burpees

Ouch.
Here’s my front squat, looking up a little too much maybe?

Here’s my crazy look after I decided to split jerk. I think this look says “I’m going to commit hari kari after this because of what an idiot I am.”
