Once Upon a Time, Alicia convinced me to do a competition with her. I HATE them. They make me a ginormous ball of crazy nerves and anxiety and I get so stressed out! She's lucky I love her ;)
It turns out we were tied for 2nd place, but they took how many wins the teams had and these guys had a 1st place on more of the workouts than we did so we unofficially got 2nd too, but had to be awarded 3rd. It was a good comp. I PR'd on my squat clean- which is HUGE for me, because that is my worst lift in all the world.
Bar Hopping Burpees
The Final:
The Clean ladder: you had to clean it, hang clean it and squat clean it. I got to #135, and before that I'd only gotten to #125.
This was a LOT harder at the comp than it was when we practiced it. It was goblet squats and wall balls and we got third danget! We just couldn't get our legs to go any faster. They were so dead!
These pics are horrific of my face, but still cool to have. Steve Arnoldus does the photographing for our gym during these comps and he does an incredible job.
AW. I love this girl. She is the most positive, happy, upbeat, encouraging, I loved being her partner.
Max weight Thruster. I PR'd on this too! By like 10-15 pounds!
Jess competed with our friend Matty.
They were doing great, but then Jess ended up getting injured and he couldn't compete any more!
So sad!
It's been so fun to have Shikeyah join the gym. I get to see her so much more often, and she's the best!
She competed in this comp with Rikki and they did great for their first time.
Love all these ladies!

Crossfit has been the greatest thing I ever started I think. It's so empowering. It's so amazing to push myself to the limit every single day. To set goals, to accomplish new things; things I never thought possible. I've come farther than I ever imagined I could. I've set new personal records and have become so much more confident!!!! I love it. I also have met some of the best friends we have ever had. Such a blessing, this place is.
