How long have you been a CrossFitter? 4 years

Got some cool (or uncool) hobbies you'd like to share? Golf and Fantasy Football
What has been your biggest achievement at CrossFit in general? Being ranked 544 th in the
CrossFit open for my age group in 2020 – the goal is to make the top 200 to qualify for the
Masters Online Qualifier
What skill have you been working on during 2020? Chest to Bar, Ring Muscle Ups and
Handstand walks
Goals for the rest of this year? I set several goals for each year. This year one goal was to get
a kipping ring muscle up which I did in August!! My second goal is to string my bar muscle ups
together.
What's your favorite WOD? DT is definitely my favorite but I do love WODs with Rowing
How about your favorite food/snacks? Hot Wings and BBQ ribs
What is the craziest workout outside of CF you have ever done? When I was competing in
swimming at a high level, we were challenged to a 26,000 meter race. It took me over 6 hours.
What’s your least favorite WOD? Anything with Jumping! Not in my wheelhouse
Favorite lift/movement? My favorite movement has to be snatches. I love DB snatches and
Barbell snatches.
What’s your least favorite lift/movement? dubs and box jumps – you will see me miss a box
jump and go flying
Whats your favorite piece of workout "gear"? I do have quite a lot of gear but my lifters are my
favorite! On top of CrossFit, I love to compete in Olympic lifting. I love the feeling of being on
the platform and being able to perform.
What you say is your biggest improvement since starting CF? My health is my biggest
improvement. I broke my back in 2007 and was in a back brace for 8 months. I spent years in
pain and on pain meds. It was around 8 months into CrossFit when I stopped having to take
pain meds. CrossFit changed my life!!
Who is your favorite coach? I am so close to the coaches, they are all my favorites. The
coaches are more like family to me. As far as coaching ability, they are the best coaches I have
encountered. I have been to multiple gyms and have found one or two coaches per gyms that
were really good but at KOP they are top tier.
PR's to mention? Goals Reached? Nutrition highlights? I would like to finish by saying how
much I love being a member at KOP. It’s my 2 nd home. I am usually there for 1-3 hours most
days of the week. The best part of Crossfit King of Prussia is the community!
