Crossfit Northeast Regionals

On Memorial Day weekend, I traveled to Boston as the female alternate on Crossfit Rochester's regional team. We qualified for the Northeast Regionals in 15th place, and hoped to improve upon that result in Boston. I decided to make the most out of an admittedly disappointing situation of not getting to compete and focus on being the best cheering section ever.  Our team didn't finish as high as we would have liked, so of course we (like every other person at the event!) are fired up to do better next year.

I made signs, which were featured on one of the crossfit games videos!
Here's Nick modeling some of the signs I made
I knew he'd like this one especially

I've been passed

My little sister graduated from college!!  Now she heads straight to nursing school in Binghamton.  We're very proud of her!

What procrastination?



After much trial and error, I think I may have nailed down this year's competition hairstyle!  Upside: my hair will no longer stop the jump rope every few double- unders, or mop the floor during push ups and burpees. Downside: the forearm pump I have from 45 minutes of braiding would not exactly give me a competitive edge.  Hmmm....
