I did meet some adversity over a week ago, outside the box, however this made me realize that adversity is what we train for; the unknowable. When adversity arises, we accomidate and we overcome. Thats what life is, thats how you win.
Here's a quick run-down of what I've done over the last week to two weeks for workouts:
WOD
10 Rnds for time of:
10 Box Jumps (24in)
10 Pullups
(I'm having a hard time remembering for sure, I want to say my time was under 15 mins.)
WOD
21-18-15-12-9 reps of:Power snatch (75lbs)
Wall ball (20lbs)
Knees-to-elbows
(Time was just under 20 minutes, 19:40 I think)
WOD
Three rounds for time of:Run 400 meters
10 Pull-ups
50 Air Squats
10 Pull-ups
(My brother's time for this WOD was quicker than mine was. There were environmental factors involved in this - his weather was warmer and he wasn't doing pullups on a swingset, or running through snow. His time; 14:22 - Mine; 15:32)
I have a growing group of friends and family around me that have been flirting with CrossFit. Some of the individuals have even begun a more committed courtship. Both of my brothers and their wives, my cousin, and friends from both past and present.
I want to take a moment here and give some recognition to my oldest brother. He was just CF Level One Certified over the past weekend (Dec 18th). I believe that he will be a trainer after the new year, down at his box, CF Hilton Head. To be added as a trainer there speaks to his exhaustive understanding of CrossFit, his ability to lead and his trustworthy nature. The existing trainers there are fantastic guys and even better coaches, to be a part of that squad means that you are no slouch. Congratulations brother! (Hopefully this isn't all going to your head.)
