How long have you been a CrossFitter? 2.5 years
Did
you ever play sports? While growing up, I played softball, volleyball,
basketball, and I was swimmer. I still play volleyball for fun on Tuesday nights.
Got
some cool (or uncool) hobbies you'd like to share? I am a big tv fan,
watch a lot of movies, and I have turned into a big reader as I have
become older.
What
has been your biggest achievement at CrossFit in the 2017 year?
Probably, finishing 4th with Kris at Girls on Girls in April. I go into
all CrossFit workouts just trying to survive, and sometimes that barely
happens. But during GOG, we worked well together, picked each other up,
and pushed ourselves really hard.
What
do you feel that you still need to work on? Probably everything, but if
I had to pick a couple it would be pull-ups, running, cleaning up my
lifts, and handstand pushups.
Goals
for the rest of this year? To consistently make it to WODs (or workout)
even though I have started to become busier with work and life.
What's your favorite WOD? Definitely a strength one. Anything with a heavy barbell.
How about your favorite food/snacks? All the food and snacks, but if I had to pick one, it would be brownies.
What
is the craziest workout outside of CF you have ever done? Probably the
Spartan Race at Citizens Bank Park, which I did a couple years ago and
have wanted to do again ever since. I also did a half marathon, which
was a crazy amount of running for me, but I am glad I did it because it
taught me that I can be comfortable with running.
What’s your least favorite WOD? Really, a lot of them are bad so I would say a lot.
Favorite lift/movement? Rowing, double unders, and anything with a barbell.
What’s your least favorite lift/movement? Pullups, running, and box jumps.
What
skill are you planning on working on as the new year 2017 rolls on?
T2Bs, stringing pullups, handstand pushups, cleaning up my lifts, and
more!
Whats
your favorite piece of workout "gear"? My jump rope. I am a big
believer in getting your own for double unders, it helped me a lot. My
most recent new favorite piece is my lifters, after people telling me to
buy them forever. I bought the Nike Romaleos 3 and I love them.
What
you say is your biggest improvement since starting CF? Probably my
strength. I didn't know how strong I could be, but I feel like I have
consistently become stronger and stronger over the last two a half
years.
Who
is your favorite coach? Definitely all of them. Each has taught me
something that has helped improve my ability in CrossFit. Giuls makes
sure I rx the weight for all my workouts with her, which almost kills me
a lot of time. I am thankful for it though, and even more thankful when
I get away with scaling and her not catching up until the end. Aimee
just taught me the j hook, which was pretty exciting earlier this week.
Steph always helps me with tips and gives me stuff to work on for my
lifts. Rachel helped me with my handstand pushups and made me think that
I could RX them eventually. Jenna has taught me more and more, which I
like a lot, but Jenna really helped my double unders click after a lot
of time practicing. Tim with the running, Jill A with everything, and
Jason only coached me once and that was great.
PR's
to mention? Goals Reached? Nutrition highlights?.. I've definitely
cleaned up my nutrition since starting CrossFit, but I can definitely
improve. I am at 185 with the clean and jerk and 135 with the snatch,
but I still want more there too. Probably the biggest thing that
crossfit has given me is the ability to believe that I can do anything. I
never thought that I would be able to do a single pullup or a single
rope climb, but now I can do both. There is always room to get better,
but CrossFit has given me the confidence to work at it.
