Good Fun

With as much blood sweat and tears that accompanies this outrageous workout regimen I have become ridiculously addicted to, at the bottom of it all, it must be F-U-N. This photo was going into WOD #2 of sectionals. I was so amped to be there and excited to push my boundaries with Clean and Jerks that I couldn't help but laugh and smile...plus, my judge was awesome and super fun to talk to!

Tonight, however, was yet another example of the type of fun that comes along with being a die-hard member of CrossFit Chicago. We had open house at our brand new box!!! It was amazing! Rudy has kept it under such tight wraps so I couldn't wait to see it and get a workout in. There's so much space and I dig the second level where you can look down onto the main floor while people are pushing through a metcon to encourage them along or just flat out heckle them...which ever is appropriate. ; ) We had so much space to work in and Bryce took us through some great warm ups then we went right into a partnered metcon...

5 laps
50 squats
5 laps
40 situps
5 laps
30 push ups
5 laps
20 burpees
while one partner runs, the other completes a skill and then they switch off
Time 7:23

Partnered with Eric W, and of course laughed my a** off because there is never any warning about what might fly out of his mouth!

After that, I figured I would head home...but no! It was simply too fun being in the new space, checking out the new pullup bars, chatting with everyone who was just as excited about our new home as I was...fantastic time with great people.

Another great part of the open house was setting my CrossFit goal. I chose to do Linda(aka 3 bars of death), at prescribed weight, by October 2010. This means, I will do...

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps
Deadlift @body weight x 1.5
Bench Press @body weight
Cleans @body weight x .75
No time cap...just to finish/survive

So, I guess this means I will be losing as much weight as humanly possible before October! Just kidding!
