Crossfit competition coming up....

This upcoming weekend, November 22-23, I am going to be competing in my first crossfit competition; Exciting and nerve racking! When I signed up for the competition back in August, none of the workouts had been revealed, but over the last few weeks they have slowly been revealing the workouts...and they are nothing short of intense!

Fridays Competiton Workouts

"The Combine"

*Max broad jump

*500m sprint row - immediately followed by 5000meter row (talk about death)

*Monkey bar + max chest to bars pull-ups (no drops inbeteeen pull-ups, as soon as you drop that is the end of your pull-ups)

*Pro agility drill

*Max bench press - women's weight to be announced (my max 3 rep bench press right now is 105 lbs. so I'm hoping the weight is 105 or less)

   To be announced - they have hinted that this event will include sleds, ropes, atlas stones, etc. yikes!! 

I have been training for almost three months, with workouts everyday Monday through Friday and two-a-day workouts on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I know that some of these workouts I may not yet be strong enough to do at this point, based on the weight they determine for them (such as snatches and bench press), but I know I have trained hard and am ready to go in there and do my very best! My motto for this competition is simple, "it's just me against me." I'm in this to do my best! 

Below are some of my crossfit battle wounds...but totally worth it. In the last two months I have linked kipping pull-ups, PRd in the bench press, done 129 burpee pull-ups, did 5 sequences of Bear Complex unbroken in round 5 with 90lbs, etc. I am so excited about the progress I've been able to make and I'm so grateful for Heavenly Fathers help through the whole process. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without Him. I'm excited to go out and do my best this weekend in the competition. Excited Allie, Anthony, Jade, Heather, and Ashley will be there to support me! 

Bear Complex

 One sequence (clean, front squat, push press, back squat, push press) - final round completed 5 sequences with 90lbs without breaking!

Pull-ups 

Crossfit is so much fun and it challenges me everyday; that's why I love it. If you've thought about trying it, stop thinking and start doing - you won't regret it. As far as the competiton this weekend....here goes nothing! It's just me against me!
