Congrats to BKE CrossFit athlete @nicole_ninomiya ! #Repost @nicole_ninomiya with @get_repost ・・・ And just like that, a years work put into these 5 weeks is over. This was probably the most stressful open I’ve experienced yet since Crossfit changed regional teams from 6 people down to 4 people. We still had 6 people wanting to go to regionals so we had to fight for a spot every single week, which led to me redoing workouts many more times than I’d ever want too 🤦🏼♀️ through these 5 weeks even though we all were competing against each other, the team chemistry every day we walked into the gym was amazing and the vibes between us all were never broken. I don’t think there is any team out there that has as much fun as we do every single time we’re together. These people are some of my best friends and I wouldn’t wanna suffer through training/the open with any other teammates. I have to say a HUGE thank you to @biokineticathlete ... since last year’s open ended I was dealing with extreme dizziness and swelling of my quads when I worked out, Dave got me through regionals but this problem would not go away. Between September- December I was probably training at 30% trying to figure out what was wrong with me, and at this point, I told Dave my chances of making it on the team are basically out of reach the way I was feeling/training. We tweaked some things, started taking my greens 🤪 , and had more appointments each week to get me ready and I can 100% say I would never have been able to finish 32nd in the North East region, out of 15,000 women, if it weren’t for Dave. THANK YOU!!!! 🙌🏼. Thank you to @fuel4lifemeals for keeping us fueled and making not only delicious but also healthy meals so it’s one less thing I have to think about between work, training, and trying to get my macros in..thank you for being in our corner!! 🙏🏼 Big things coming from this team, all of us, and I can’t wait to see where we go together 💪🏼✊🏼 #crossfit #crossfitgames #intheopen2018 #teamcoliseumstrength2018 #regionalsbound #northeastregionals #progenex #nutrabio #xendurance
