Its December!

So much has been going on! Its been so busy its hard to even workout!

Some highlights over the last three months are:

Lost ring dip all together, due to some shoulder issues. :(

Attended a CrossFit Kids Cert in Ramona California in August.

Completed "Grace" as Rx'd (30 clean and jerks for time using 135#) in 6min 27 sec. I want sub six next time!

Quit working for Farmers Ins, should have done that long ago!

Attended CrossFit Nutrition Cert with Robb Wolf here in town. Learned a lot!

Started a personal Paleo diet challenge due to Nutrition Cert.

Attended my first Olympic lifting meet in October (unsanctioned)! Setting a PR in the Snatch at 60kgs or 132# (I totally power snatched it too! oops). Previously was 115#, I hadn't gone up in weight one because I don't practice very much and two I know I can power snatch it, it is catching it in the full squat I haven't figured out yet. I also set a PR in the Clean and Jerk with 80kg or 176#. Previous C&J was 165# I was quite happy with that!

Set a PR in "Jackie" (For time 1000m Row 50 Thrusters at 35# and 30 pullups).

Completed the Bear Complex at CrossFit LA starting as 75#, 85#, 95#, 105# and 115#! Whew that was hard!

Developed bar rash on the back of my neck from bear complex.

Got 2 consecutive ring dips back!

Fran and a Rant

I'm still running around busy as usual and not really training. I have been having trouble in my front squats. The right side of my back feels like its about to blow when I hit 195# in sets of three. The first one goes alright but the next two are frightening. I haven't gone up in weight for fear I will really pull something. Plus its really hard! I am pretty sure I have done over 205# for three to five. But I also thought that was on vimeo but I guess that was only like 165# or 175# so maybe I really haven't done sets at 205. Hmmm. I set a max pullup record. Old record was like 11 or 12, got 16 the other day. I think I could have done more if I regripped a little better but I lost it and fell off. I am still horrible at pullups. And finally I attempted "Fran" today (21-15-9 reps of 65# thrusters and pullps for time) I was dreading this. I can't even remember the last time I did this I think it has been over 6 months but I know my time was 6:46. I was hop...

This was AWESOME!

I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself.  Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing.  So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh  I wish I had pointed my toes.  The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop.  You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again....
