CrossFit Competitions: Two in One Weekend

I don’t normally do two CrossFit competitions in one weekend, but one came up that I did last year that I wanted to do again, and I had already signed up for a different one, so I did both.

The first one, Rocky Mountain Showdown at CrossFit DNR in Fort Collins was fun. We made it to the semi-finals, but it’s hard when you’re knocked out by a 19-year-old.

The second one, Battle at the Rock at CrossFit Castle Rock, I did last year. This year was just as fun. I came in third here.

Some highlights from this past weekend:

• I ran a 7-minute mile flat. I haven’t done that in forever.
• I clean and jerked 125 lb, the most I’ve done since my thumb injury.

As most of you know, I have been battling some type of injury most of this year. I still have my thumb injury that is taking forever to heal. Currently, I have a lung inflammation (at least that was what I was told last week). Now, I’m on meds for a lung infection. So I worked out all weekend sick.

Part of it is/was dumb.

But it makes me wonder what I can do if I’m ever 100% well again.
