I'm on endorphins

Wow I feel like someone just hit me in the head with a shovel, the "CrossFit just kicked my ass" feeling:| I Love it.

I just returned from the 2008 Northwest CrossFit Championships. I saw two T shirts that made me laugh. One that said "CrossFit: It's like meth but you get to keep your teeth"... and "CrossFit Rainier: I'm Not a Pussy Anymore." Anyway, they had four heats: Women 36 and older, Men 36 and older and Women 35 and younger, Men 35 and younger. I used as rx'd womens weight and still came in second in the 35 and younger heat. Stoked.

this was the workout:

50 Sumo deadlift high pulls(men: 2 16 kg Kettlebell, women: 2 12 kg Kettlebells)

1 mile run

Tire pull (40 ft?)

Med ball throw and run(100 ft?)(men 25 lbs, women 15 lbs)

50 dumbell push presses(Men 2 30 lb DB, Women 2 15 lb DB)

Burpee! broad jumps(100 ft?)

My time: 16:05 to first place approx. 14min(The first place contender apparently ran for Montana state or something and had a 5 min mile.)

So That's that. I had so much fun and saw quite a few awesome people.

Since the CF Games are going to be very big this year, the CF staff plans on making the CF Championships a qualifying meet next year.

Aimee has pictures I might post later:)

Besides being high on CrossFit, I've been getting lots of sun in our 80-90 degree weather. Seattle? HE HE

I'm doing well. I feel like my training is paying off and I'm stoked for the Games. I really really really can't wait for Acacia to come. We'll be able to spend lots of quality time on the road to Missouri. I'm very excited.

Have a great week.
