PRs


Rope climbing is super-dy, duper-dy fun except that you get blisters on your hands and rope burns on your inner thighs and side of your lower leg. I need to perfect my rope climbing outfit. These shorts did not prevent rope burn. I tried boot cut pants, but I would step on the bottoms and pull my pants down as I climbed. Not good. Long socks work well and maybe I need to wear soccer shorts? I'll find out at the next rope climbing fest...



Here are a few of my personal records. I’m not feeling braggy as I write this because I most certainly get my can kicked in a big way by most people, but this is pretty good for me. I’ve come a long way in the 10 months that I’ve been at crossfit. Just want to record where I am, and see if I continue improving.

500 m row 2:01 min.
2000 m row 9:35 min.
1 mile run 8:52 min (course with some hills)
max push ups in 2 min.: 47
max 15’ rope climbs in 2 min.: 3
1 rep max:
back squat 135 pounds
front squat 120 pounds
shoulder press 70 pounds
bench press 85 pounds
deadlift 175 pounds
overhead squat 75 pounds
Olympic lifts:
Clean 90 pounds
Snatch 65 pounds
Jerk 105 pounds
Clean and jerk 95 pounds

Stuff I really need to work on: double unders, wall ball

I should write down what the women’s records are for our gym. It blows my mind. I’ll have to get that info.
