Crossfit Wachusett DUALS!!

February 4, 2012

Talk about FAMILY!! Today was an amazing day for CrossFit Wachusett!! We had a gathering at the gym for all the members and for a little healthy competition we had a dual competition!! There were 17 members at the gym and it was fantastic to have M back for the weekend to join in the fun!! The main goal was to get the people who see each others names on the board together to meet and get to know one another. What a great time!

There were a few masterminds behind the WOD's and there were three all together. These were not "hard" WODs, just some fun things that everyone was able to do with pretty much the same level of difficulty. Before each WOD we all picked numbers and your number matched your partners. This allowed things to be mixed up for each of the three.

Here is a pic of the first heat of the first WOD!! It was so much fun.



All three WODs were a ton of fun and we had a great day with some really amazing people. I really enjoyed he whole experience.

Hubs and I decided to go to the gym a little early. We both felt as if there were some things we wanted to work on before the Duals began. I spent a good 30 minutes working on my double unders. They are coming along... still really frustrated, but I think I know what I am doing wrong so its more a timing issue than anything else. Pretty sure I have the right length rope and all that jazz... practice, practice, practice!!

After some extreme frustration it was time for something I love to do. I chose to do skills on Thursday and missed my all time favorite exercise for strength. What better time than at that moment to get my deadlifts in!! I felt great, I was able to get in 5 sets of 3... and best of all the final set of 3 was my 1RM weight!! Hello PR!!

All in all Saturday was a great day!! Lots of fun and lots of smiles!!

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
