I start this post with a big sigh of relief that I’m done. I survived and I don’t feel completely dead. That is one thing that I love the most about CF. I can do the most gut wrenching, mind bending workout(s) and recover without much problem. Yes, I’m sore but I can function. When I did my Level 1 Cert and had only been Crossfitting for 1 month on my own, I was seriously jacked up after the workouts. Now, I can pull myself together much faster.

Anyway, the day was a bit nuts in that I worked out in the last heat and there were only two of us. YAY Faith! It was in my top three of hardest workouts. To remind you…
“Know Pain, Know Gain”
5 rounds for time of:
15 Wall Balls (M: 20lbs, W: 10lbs)
15 Sumo-deadlift High-pulls (M: 75lbs, W: 55lbs)
15 Burpees
About round three I hit a wall. I had several missed wall ball attempts and got frustrated. My mind began to fail me and I started to shut down. My reps came in 3’s and 5’s. It sucked the life out of me. My finish time was 23:48. The slowest of the day. I’m disappointed, but stronger and smarter. I know there are some things I need to work on. (Diet?)
I don’t know if I have a place on the actual team but either way I do know that the CFV team as a whole is an amazing place to be. The camaraderie is like none other. I’m content to know I’m on THAT team!
Thanks to Maurice, Ben and Huff for coaching me. Thanks to Jaala, Kathleen, Brittney and Katie for the encouragement.
