What a Team!

Saturday, December 29


I am constantly reminded what a wonderful team we have created at Crossfit Old Town. There's no doubt in my mind that I am a strong athlete because I surround myself with other strong athletes. I am always so proud when we get to show off our skills when guests come in to work with us. It also reminds me of how strong we are as athletes and how solid our technique is.

Warmup:
Turkish getups:
3 right arm (36lb KB) , 3 left arm (15lb barbell) .. for 6 minutes

I got three rounds on each arm. I was thrilled to be able to work in my left arm. The light weight was awesome. I felt how much strength I have lost in my shoulder. The 15lbs was perfect because it wasn't too heavy and it wasn't too light. I was able to get a good active shoulder and maintain through three rounds. Slow, careful progress.

Overhead squats:
Sets of 10.. increasing weight at end of every set
15lbs, 25lbs, 30lbs (I put a 5lb weight on one side and not the other.. whoops!), 45lbs

All lifts felt great... I did feel a little tweak in my shoulder when I cleaned the weight. I think that may be a sticking point. I probably won't be able to work cleans for a while.

Workout:
Team work (Andrea, Stacey and Me)

Round 1:
75 Pullups
150 Kettlebell Swings
225 Squats
For Time
Rest

Round 2:
120 Pushups (Can I just say.. Stacey did 50 pushups off the top! Wow!)
150 Full Squat Jumps
180 Slamball
For Time

Our team finished in such a heart racing pace in the first round that Jerry uped our numbers here. I don't remember what the numbers were, but it was something like a 20% increase. Like the unstoppable women we are.. we still finished first. Go team!

Here's to 2008! Get some!
