I volunteered on Saturday for the CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals in Landover, Maryland for the morning and then spent a few hours helping my friends at Power Supply sell their tasty food to spectators. It was great to see friends I don’t get to see often — and see the peak CrossFit athletes in action. Watching them inspires me but it also makes me think — wow, I am so out of shape. The people that compete and watch these events tend to be in the small % of people who are in amazing shape –and who take their fitness seriously.

I stopped and talk to one of my favorite athletes Christmas Abbott –but decided to not ask her for another pic. After talking to Rich Froning last summer about celebrity and how it’s so odd how people treat you — Christmas is a CrossFit friend of mine and it just didn’t feel right. I did take some pics of her in action though — more can be seen in my facebook gallery: CrossFit Mid-Atlantic Regionals Photos

Sunday, I went into HighBar CrossFit to get a workout in. I just didn’t feel like I could skip it and ended up having a great workout!

2 Rounds Total
2rounds
10 burpee pullups
9 Kettlebell Swings
8 Wall Ball Shots
—
end of 2 rounds do 400m row
time: 27:00 Minutes

So I ended up doing all but two of the pull ups deadhang –no help from bands. It took me quite some time but I did them!! One by One and I was so happy when I was done. That was the most pull ups I have done in one shot with no kipping and no band help. That made my day!!! I am sure I will be feeling it later today but it was worth it.

I love when I do something that I just never imagined doing before. What a great way to start a week!
