PR Monday!!

For those crossfitting cowboys


Monday's WOD

1 rep max clean and jerk

90#

I went from 75# to 85# and failed so I went down to 80 and failed that on the first attempt. I went off to the side and stopped watching other people and tried to visualize getting it. I got 80, 85 then 9o pretty easily. When I get closer to my max I really need to remember to focus and get in my zone because it helps me so much.

After the WOD I jumped on the pull up bars and got three in a row! It was the first time I have linked any at all. I felt like my kip was really good so it made it easier. Then I picked up the jump rope and got 14 double unders in a row! My previous max was 8.



People on a gluten-free diet need a sharp eye for labels. Some ingredient red flags are obvious, like wheat, wheat gluten, barley, or rye. But some foods have "stealth" gluten. Two terms to watch for are malt (which is made from barley) and hydrolyzed vegetable protein (it often contains wheat).

I saw this book at Lassen's the other day so I decided to look into ADHD and a gluten-free diet and found an interesting quote, "When you feed a person with ADHD, you are feeding the brain and not the stomach."

What an awesome day at CFV!! Somehow I was tied for 6th place and had to do the final WOD. I was totally unprepared for this but gave it a shot anyways. I've never done squat-clean thrusters or thruster at 65# so I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but I managed to do 45! Even though I didn't finish the workout in the time allowed I'm still sooo proud of myself. I would have never imagined being able to do any of this when I first started at CFV in January. Everyone did so awesome!! Congrats to Luke, Jaala, Katie and Craig for bringing it home for CFV with 1st and 2nd place finishes!!

Katie and I happy to be done after a long day full of 3 WODs
