The CrossFit Fort

Day by day coverage of the WOD's that I do at my box, as well as a few picks, a recipe here and there, and some rants/updates every so often. I am 20 years old, a firefighter/EMT with Glacier View Fire Protection District, an EMT-B with Poudre Valley Hospital ambulance service, a country gal, an archer, a hockey player, and the gay twin. I train at CrossFit North Fort Collins with Coach Mike. Enjoy!

JIMMY’S ENGINE 11 SPRINTER

Hump day workout!

Stuck with Rx this time. Which I felt proud of. But my time went up real quick with how long it took each round. Those squats were the worst.

Time break down of 3:23, 3:53, 4:15, and 4:14 for the four rounds, respectively.

Ain't too bad for not having worked out in forever. Also been sick for a while, like in and out of the ER, loss of appetite, spinal MRI sick.

Spent my day fighting a killer migraine, most of it throwing up over my kitchen sink or toilet. Realized that even when I feel like shit and I’m struggling hard, I still have some great muscle workin for me. Yeehaw

That V though.

It ain't CrossFit, but it still counts. 3 mile walk (not allowed to run) with a 45lb pack. Must finish in 45 minutes or less. The walk was on Red Feather Lakes Rd. We got dropped off 3 miles west of the station, and wrapped up at the station. It kicked my ass. I brought my arm band and my iPod and just listened to music the whole time. On the plus side, I discovered that Where Them Girls At by David Guetta is a perfect beat to walk to for the test. We wore backpacks or weighted vests. The backpacks had water bottles or Gatorade bottles in them for weight. I got my assistant chiefs pack. I finished in 44:37. There were 5 of us doing the pack test, and we all finished between 40:something and my time. Afterwards we did shelter deployment training.

The folks from my box post-Memorial Day Murph. We all earned this sticker.

Just got home from Memorial Day Murph with my box. First time doing Murph, and I had to scale it, but I fucking finished it in 44:38, so I’m happy. Feelin great today :)

Sorry I've been gone forever

I miss my gym. I haven't been in the last three or four weeks due to finals at school, more testing, lack of funds, and now fucking strep, or something similar. I have every intention of going to the training sesh on Memorial Day because my box is doing Murph, and fuck if I'm missing Murph again. It'll kick my ass, but I am fucking finishing it.

[thecrossfitfort]

Back! Sorta… At least I got dem dimples

[thecrossfitfort]

Definitely improving.
