Update on the latest events


I've done two events in the last couple months.  Both lots of fun.  

In October I did the "Amazing Grace" Barbells for Boobs fundraiser.  It is a fundraiser for mammograms and breast cancer screening and treatment.  The workout was "Grace" 30 clean and jerks for time.  I went lighter than usually and only did 65# (95# is RX for women, I'm not even close to that yet...)  The last time I did this workout I did 75# in 7:46.  For this event I did 65# in 4:01.  Technically not a PR, but what the heck, I had fun.   This was the first Crossfit type competition that I've done.  It's intense, the crowd was sooo loud and the energy was amazing!




Then this past Saturday I competed in the Team Event at Alternative Athletics (my gym) annual competition called Pukie's Bash.  Our team was a group of misfits, but we had a grand time.  We went all out with team uniforms and just had fun (which is what it was really all about!)  The team workout was basically an obstacle course that we had to haul a bunch of weight through.  I managed to rug burn my shoulders, elbows, and thumb will my killer low crawl technique!

Our team name was What Would Jed Do?  Jed wasn't on our team, but he is a total badass, so we idolize him.

Our Team: Sara, Tyler, Jed, Nate, and me.
