Crossfit Open 2013 (A way to make me shut up)

November AKA Movember which explains my handlebar mustache(Battle at the Barracks 2012).

 

             So 13.1 Open WOD I only hit 130 reps making it through the snatches at 135lbs (40 burpees, 30 snatches 75lbs, 30 burpees, 30 snatches 135lbs, 20 burpees, 30 snatches 165lbs, 10 burpees, and 30 snatches 205). I can snatch 165lbs no problem repeatedly, but the cardio of burpees absolutely destroyed me. 13.2 Open WOD I did surprisingly well and earned myself 275 reps after redoing it because I only got 240 reps the first time (5 push press, 115lbs, 10 dead lifts, and 15 box jumps 24 inches). Then yesterday I did Open WOD 13.3 sigh.....not a good showing I only got 240 reps (150 wall balls, 90 double unders, and 30 muscle ups in a 12 minute AMRAP). I can string multiple muscle ups together but I didn't use my tme wisely and got spanked :( I truly enjoy crossfit because I've never come across an activity that constantly points out your weaknesses while making you stronger at the same time. It is quite the humbling experience and days like today I don't have much to say. It's like arguing with your girlfriend; she points out your weaknesses (or she could be your weakness) and leaves you speechless. But the exception with crossfit is that I want more. So far the crossfit 2013 experience makes me hungrier for success, makes me want to be stronger, faster, and bring more intensity into every WOD I do. A new motto I'm incorporating into my life is.....

 

                "Commit to excellence every single day!"

 

 

 

 

 

Confident not cocky 2013 part 1

So I'm back, finally, sort of. Man a lot has happened, first let me just start with this: "Don't stop!" "Because it doesn't work." "I may not be perfect but I will always try." These are things that might mean absolutely nothing to you the readers. But to me these are things that have been said to me or how I feel about myself which I use to motivate me. So let's look at the physical tranformation.

So this is what I looked like in February of 2012. I then decided I wanted more and so I got more, and by more I mean stronger. The transformation that took place physically has also occured mentally but multiplied by two. In other news school and work are still the same.

Crossfit is currently conducting the open. I just did 13.1, which I'm not too happy about my score.

13.1
40 burpees
30 snatches 75 lbs
30 burpees
30 snatches 135
20 burpees
30 snatches 165lbs

I only made it through 30 snatches @ 135 sigh....I'm not pleased. I think I'm going to do it again tomorrow. I could've gone harder.

So here's a video of me at Crossfit Trifecta just messing around (chill little montage).
