Now Playing Tracks

Worked out at the 6:30 AM class this morning since I have work/school all day today until 8:30 PM.

Today’s workout was Helen and was for the leader board.

There’s this kid that I find really annoying… probably one of the only guys that’s smaller than me at the box. I just always see him cheat during workouts, but anyway, right before he started he comes up to me and says “guess your my competition this morning, huh?” I got me mad and I thought to myself “No, you’re not my competition because you’re using a 35 lb kettle bell while I’m doing Rx (53 lb). Also, you’re an asshole.”

Anyway, ended up beating him and making a good time of 9:29.

Time to eat and get ready for a long day.

Crossfit

Other than the family atmosphere, I think my favorite part about Crossfit is that it’s changed my mentality to want to be stronger rather than looking better.

As busy as I was… this was a good PR week.

275 deadlift
Started using a 62 lb kettle bell
and today, PRd with at 145 squat clean

I know it’s not much, but I’m getting there. As soon as I finish this semester, I’m going to start going harder with my workouts.

Exhausted

So I officially can say that I’ve competed at a crossfit event now.

It was such a great and humbling experience. Even though this was just a small, in-house challenge… it was a really good experience especially for my first time competing.

A year ago today, I would have never imagined I would be able to do this kind of stuff. As cheesy as it sounds, Crossfit has made a really big impact on my life. Since the first time I walked into that gym, the coaches and other people have treated me as an athlete. I love the fact that everyone was cheering with each other and making sure each of us gave all we had. I’m very ready to continue getting better and stronger.
