Saturday's comp was really fun. .peterson.insta and I partnered up for the day and landed in second place. We were happy to be consistently second on all of the events as well.
Event One: The CrossFit Total. We were given 15 minutes to find our max back squat, max strict press, and max deadlift. It was interesting to have a time limit on both the warm up and the lifting. I had practiced each element, but not together. It felt totally different in this setting.
Event Two: Strongman. There were three parts to this, all held outside on their basketball court. There was a sandbag carry with burpees, a dumbbell carry with box step ups, then a sled push and pull.
Event Three: Swim. This was also in three parts. There was a swim while the other partner held a plank, then a swim with one partner doing assisted wall muscle ups at the end and the other doing ball slams. The third part was with both partners in the water bringing the slam ball to the other end and back.
It is always fun to take what we practice to another setting and see how it stacks up. Part of what I love about CrossFit is the constant ranking and constant competition. It's nice to have a focus for training, and to geek out on parts of the whole. It's fun to chat with folks from other gyms and it was nice to spend the day watching the other heats.
Thanks for the fun, .peterson.insta . Thanks for the training plan and help and confidence and support and empathy and integrity . Thanks for the inspiration and support from and the whole community. And thanks for the help and confidence in my process from . And to my kids for keeping it real.
