Fun times all around meeting neighbors in tent city and taking pics as we wait. That’s a lot of idle time for nervous jitters that lead to multiple potty breaks. We all prepped differently yet we all did it together. The morning aches and stiffness were among the bunch as we waited, joked and stretched together. Yup, just what I needed and I gladly staked my claim for that seat on the way home! Air flowing through the seats and a massaging seat. The sleepy one mesmerized by the cool new truck I was in.

One driver kind enough to volunteer to drive knowing the drive home will suck bad. One passenger snoring in the back who wouldn’t share the back seat. It starts with the dreadful alarm at 5am, food prep, and carpool ride at 6am. Now to wait and see how the big day goes.Ĭomp day. Compared to day one it was tremendous growth. Last practice session on our weakness was a good showing. Rest being most important since my body is aging. The last seven days were focused on eating well, sleeping well and staying healthy. Complaints or excuses? Time to press on and put in work. How did that impact the event? Came down with a cold as well a week before so breathing wasn’t 100%.

We beat to our own drum or anthem in many ways. Really she had no choice but it’s part of the experience and what sets us apart from others. This may be the most fun part of competing because my crazy partner agreed to change outfits four times. At that point my body was already sluggish from a physical move and my arms were burning on the daily from the other bicep/tricep challenge and then heck most days my legs were like we don’t need any additional miles today! What was I thinking? I probably wasn’t thinking until I hit the WODs hard the 2 weeks prior to the event. Looking back, I somehow stacked 1/2 marathon training, a 45 day bicep/tricep challenge, a physical residence move, a big trip to see family and life on top of comp training and my regular CrossFit and adult life. Well, this comp was a little different about 5 minutes after I signed up! Then, when I got to the competition site the crazy level stepped up a bit….the competition was 90% outside.
