R.A.C.E – Reaction Agility Competition Endurance/

Qualified for 2010 Crossfit Regionals!

Here is a brief conclusion from the Crossfit Florida Sectional Qualifier where I placed 14th out of 86 females-top 15 go to Regionals.

The competition was a 2 day event.  2 WOD’s on each day. 

1st WOD

4 Rounds of 2 minute intervals, no rest.

-Sprint 150m

-5 Rolling Burpees aka “man on fire” -these were BRUTAL!

-53lb Kettle bell swing (as many times as you can in the remainder of the time)

WOD 2

As many reps as you can in 3 minutes of all of the following then add up total score

-box jumps-I killed this one:)

-pull ups-not so much on this one

-thrusters (83#)

DAY2: Starting an hour earlier and there was a time change so really we were waking up in the 4’s to get ready for this crazy day that will say it all…

WOD 3

-Max Clean and Jerk

I ended up with 145#-not bad for a screwed up back

WOD 4

-Row 1500m

-Run 400 meters with a 35#ish sandbag on your back

- 2000m trail run ( I didn’t know there was hills in Florida until I ran this trail)

DONE!

I ended up in 14th place over all and top 15 go to Crossfit Regionals May 29-30 in Jax to compete for the next level.

I was happy with my finish eventhough I was near the end because I had a back injury that happened 4 weeks prior to competition and I was not working out at all.  In fact bending over to tie my shoes was  a chore.  I did not think I was going to compete but that thursday night I decided I am going to take some (or A LOT) of IBPROF and see what happens.  I have been training for over a year for this competition and I was not ready to give up without a fight.  Needless to say I was in some serious pain with a few tears but not enough to stop me.  I had NO idea if I was going to make it or not because I was sitting in the 14th or 15th spot the entire weekend.  A little too close for comfort but hey I’ll take it.  So a special thanks goes to my coach Leo and Monique for helping me make it even with an injury!

Here are some of the rankings of some pretty bad ass chicks that I admire greatly and feel honored to compete against!

Melissa Kiel #1

Christina Ruggerio #3 AFTER the competition of course

Rachel Reichert #2 & Wendy Shafranski #5

Brittani Russel # 12

Britt #-My FAVORITE training partner!! So glad that we both made it and can compete together:)

Oh and of course I can’t forget a shout out to Andrey Subbotin and Casey Jenks.  Andrey qualified at 13th place out of 150 guys! He also trains at CrossfitEvolution. My lovely boyfriend Casey, who encouraged me to the fullest and also finished strong with PR’s but unfortunately did not qualify.

CrossfitEvolution has one of the most if not the most athletes from one gym who qualified to go to Regionals from what I call the most competitive state.
