This is my journey thru my 1st experience with crossfit. I never knew how difficult and fun at the same time it would be. I am happy I decided to join and have a healthier life.I may suffer in pain on several occasions/ days, but that just tells me how hard I have worked. Please join/follow. I would love it! Hopefully I become more comfortable and take more photos during class, but of course it is hard to do while killing yourself or should I say trying to survive during class.
After a week and 1/2 off I so paid for yesterday. I was so sore today. My shoulders, biceps, legs, back all of it was sore. Oh how I miss it! LOL Will on to the .... WARM UP: 30 second drills

10 jumping air squats
10 jumping lunges
10 push ups On the wet ground (chest to floor)

Deadlift PRs :)
My PR (PERSONAL RECORD) was 175lbs :)
WOD: 12.9,6 reps (12 box jumps 12 snatch etc) Box Jump (24/20) Snatch (95/65lbs) I did 55lbs 20 calorie row (this was a killer!!!) 6,9,12 Box Jump not gonna lie on my last 2 reps (9,12) I went down to 18inch box Snatch I was so out of breath it was crazy! So not much to say... Crossfit is a killer everyday! You have to push yourself everyday and tell yourself all kinds of crap to not give up!
I really have nothing to say, but ouch, pain and yes Old lady syndrome is in full effect! It's the MILE!
WARM UP:
2 min Jump rope singles
1 min Jump rope double unders
high knees (100meters) across the gym and out the door and back
Butt kickers across the gym out the door and back
Bear crawls across out and back
Crab crawls across, out and back

10 skin the cat left and right
practice lifts for the WOD
SWOD: Cleans
3 @ 60% (35lbs)
2 sets of 3 @70% (55lbs)
3 @ 80% (75lbs)
WOD:
1 mile run (I did it in 9 min 40 sec)
50 Box jumps 24/30 ( I used 20" box)
Total time was 13 min 51 sec
The mile is just a run that you think the whole time about not stopping I don't want to be last please. Don't quit! I literally talk myself into running the whole time. I think I have multiple personalities when I run the mile, because I argue with myself when I am running. After the WOD I tried to do the 30" box jump almost made it. The second attempt I hit my shins! Damn it! that hurt got some bruises starting. Painful! oh well!
I cannot wait! I am so going to love this!! run, walk dance your way to the finish while getting painted with colors every 5 minutes. Start out wearing all WHITE and end up leaving looking like a bag of SKITTLES!
• Ice plunge (basically a pit filled with ice and water).
• Beat the crap out of a punch bag. (timed)
• Finish line is a barbed wire mud pit crawl and a final climb up to a leap of faith into the lake.
Think that’s it?
To get to the finish line there is one final challenge – time to see who is TRULY fearless.
And what is this BIG surprise challenge?
Sorry, but that has to stay a secret until race day as we don’t want to risk people freaking out prior to the race, just trust us, NO-ONE has done anything like this before at one of these events.
It’s honestly going to blow peoples minds.
Something for the kiddies: We will also have some mini mud runs for the kids. A 100 / 200 meter mini obstacle course with mud pit for the 4 – 8 year olds A full mile version for the 9 – 13 year old group. Tons of smaller but still fun obstacles and of course, tons of mud.
Today was a killer WOD! Literally. I wonder who chose this one. WOW is all I have to say. IT was like 4 WODs in one. Warm up:
take a lap (1/3 mile) while carrying a 15lb weight (guys 45lbs) There was no comfortable way to run with the weight. I tried to hug it, hold it, lift it over my head and on my back. It was hard to run every way. Could not run the whole way I stopped several times but made it back in the box 2nd
120 single jump rope or 50 dbl unders
20 Burpees
20 BSU with the PVC behind the head (by the way I have a bruise on the back of my neck from doing this on Monday)
20 mountain climbers

120 jump rope
Yes that was just a warm up or WuWOD
SWOD: Back squats
1st round 10 bar only (45lbs)
2nd round back squat 60% (65lbs) unbroken
See my video here of my Back squats 65lbs
WOD: 4 rounds
120 jump rope
15 chest to bar (pull ups) use red/blue bands
Time 8 min 30 sec
Yet another WOD!:

My time 2 min 20 seconds
Yes Today they tried to kill us I am still soaked in sweat. Nasty I know. I didn't change yet or eat yet.
Next is a few videos of some great people and they are amazing crossfitters. Josie, Erick, Mimi, Tina
Erick jumping I missed him taking a little tumble off the weights but here he is!
This is what the guys do after their WOD for fun, yes they are crazy like little children LOL. All in fun!!
So I said earlier after the WOD that they should have named this WOD the BODY COLLECTOR cause I felt like I was dead at the end. I didn't say a word to anyone, I just got up and left! So Tired!
