5:05 am – getting out of bed
5:10 am – saw the wod… mild panic in my head relating to box jumps
6am: WU x 2
6:15am: Strength 3 x front squats
115-125-135-145-150… wishing I had unlimited amounts of front squats left to do before the wod…wondering if I could sub box jumps for front squats
6:30 am… stomach twisting as I get my box ready, and my deadlift bar that was freaking heavy
6:35am: WOD @ 60%deadlift(160 #) with 21″ box….
time- 20:57
At round one, I was able to contain my mild panic through the box jumps by talking to myself but at the second round that mild turned into extreme and broke down into panic mode. THANKS Amanda for being there helping me to keep it together, and doing that run with me, and Gill for counting my last box jumps, and everyone who kept cheering!
Strength does not only measure in a physical way but mentally and emotionally as well. I’m glad I have CF to help build that strength as a whole.
Still feeling a little frail from this morning… but my day can only go better from now on… right? π
Kevin MacK
Great job.
Amanda
You were completely awesome this morning and I felt that you pulled yourself together very quickly. I was very impressed with how you pushed through that. You are very strong physically AND mentally, you should be very proud of yourself.
Gillyon
You did awesome! Found a new 100% π
Elba
Awesome Job Chantal, so proud of you π
Michelle
Great work! And I totally agree with you that CF is a mental/emotional/ physical workout!
This post right here is why I love CFM. Everybody wants everybody to succeed. Look at fear right in the eyes and say “I will not back down”. Good job Chantal.
Heather S
What you taught me Chantal – Just do it – no big deal when it’s easy; powerful stuff when it’s hard. And yeah, now you are set to conquer the rest of the day no problem. Proud of you girl π
Ron
Whenever I see you doing strength or a WOD it’s always to the finish and quitting is never an option, you always push through and amaze. I admire your drive and determination. Today is a personal PR for you and I wish I would have been there to see the smiles.
Chantal L.
There wasn’t many smiles… more like tears!! hehe

Slowly re-introducing my knee back into the WODs is going nicely. I pushed my 400m a little harder today (chasing Shawn and trying to stay ahead of Lora is a good motivator!) and had no real (knee) issues. The bodyweight lifts were timely as I have lost over 8# since the Paleo Challenge. I must have had it to lose because I felt I had just as much if not more energy.
Great job nooners!!
Lora
Way to go Blake! Awesome time! I wish I could have had you to chase for all 3 rounds….it was great motivation trying to catch you. And congrats on the Body Weight deadlifts! π

Nothing to do with today’s WOD, but the thought occurred to me, at the end of this frustrating work day – I could really use a CrossFit butt-kicking now. I’m sure it would help to work out some of those frustrations!
Can’t wait for tomorrow (I’m probably going to regret saying that)!
Heather S
Oh Robyn, you are officially one of the addicted and I couldn’t be happier for you!! (And I agree that cft is a great answer to a really crappy day!!)
I’ve discovered that I have to pay too much attention to what I’m doing during a WOD to be thinking about anything else!
For an hour, nothing exists outside the 4 walls of the gym (unless we’re running, of course)! It’s great! π
Lora
For me, there is no better way to relieve stress than a Crossfit butt-kicking! Seriously. I turn off my mind and just run, jump, skip, push, pull, throw around weight and sweat! Its better than any medication (and THAT is coming from a pharmacist…so there! LOL!)

Thank you Eric for pushing me through the box jumps, and Jeff S for yelling at me to pick up the bar. And Kevin and Jo, and everyone else who didn’t let me slow down today. I can’t even tell you guys how much I appreciated the push. As always. Frig I love our gym.
And speaking of Jo, when she tells me to do something, I know she’s not a violent person but she says it like she might kick my ass if I don’t do what she says so she’s always good for some motivation. lol
