yoga+crossfit.

currently, i am loving both crossfit & yoga.
(with a splash of mountain biking & hiking here-and-there)
i find strength gaining, adventure, challenge & fun in crossfit.
in yoga i find lengthening, mindfulness, peace & difficulty.  
i found this great guide in using yoga to benefit
your crossfit workouts, which in return
will definitely help your yoga practice.

13.5, finally.

the crossfit open has come to an end.
we completed the last workout on saturday & then
celebrated with a bbq party!
the workout was thrusters w/ 65# & chest 2 bar pull-ups,
15 of each, amrap for 4 minutes.
no one at our gym did, but if you got 90 total reps
 you got a bonus 4 minutes to get 90 more, and so on.
i got 15 thrusters & 9 pull-ups.
my goal was 2 pull-ups, so i'm feeling good!
although i forgot to enter my score, so that sucks.
here's me looking at the barbell.... 
contemplating my next thruster?
here i am judging greg, one of our coaches.
 he did awesome!

i've had a blast doing these workouts, but am
really looking forward to getting back on my regular

13.3

i completed 13.3 this morning at 6am.
the workout was:
150 wall balls 14#/20#
90 double unders
30 muscle ups.
this was a repeat workout from last year.
i could remember doing it last year and hating it,
not even able to get through the wall balls...
well, history repeated itself and i only got 124 reps.
i honestly tried my hardest & am trying to be proud of myself.
it was a different/quiet/low energy vibe with the 6am crew.
i love my 5pm crazies!

13.2

the second open workout consisted of
as many reps/rounds as possible (amrap) in 10 minutes of:
5 shoulder to overhead presses w/ 75lbs
10 deadlifts w/ 75lbs
15 box jumps on a 20" box.

i had to do it during class on thursday and scored
(what i think is) a respectable 205.
looking forward to the 13.3 announcement tonight at 8,
then i'm going in tomorrow at 6am to get it done
because we're heading to chattanooga this weekend for
our 4th rock/creek river gorge trail race!
your good vibes & luck are welcome! 

13.1 recap

i've been a busy bee lately & the cf open wod's
have been intense & have left me in pain.
in the first workout, 13.1 i surprised myself & got a 105,
which means i somehow got the 75# bar over my head in a snatch.
the 1st 40 burpees were ok, but really left me gasping for air.
the first set of 30 snatches with 45# was pretty easy, but after
a few they get tough.
the set up on my second set of snatches, after 30 more burpees.
the struggle.
victory!
the baby beat me by a few reps....
i am so very proud of her!
