CrossFit – My Journey to the CrossFit Games

Beginning 2024 With PR’s!

January 11, 2024January 11, 2024 by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

Hey all!

I’m been remiss in posting, mainly because I’ve been in a low in CrossFit. However, I’m recently enjoying CrossFit once again and looking forward to the CrossFit Open.

That being said, I’ve started 2024 with 3 personal records:

Deadlift: 240 lbs
Strict Press: 90 lbs
Front squat: 170 lbs

As you all know, if you’ve been doing CrossFit for a while, PRs are few and far between. The deadlift was super important to me cause I haven’t lifted this much in over 7 years. It’s been a road overcoming injuries, but I finally feel good!

Bring it, 2024!

I’m in a Severe Funk

July 9, 2023 by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

I can’t believe I haven’t posted in almost 3 months.

That just shows you the state of my mind.

I’m in a severe CrossFit funk. I have no desire to work hard. It seems like I’ve been working for almost one year at my goal to make it to the CrossFit Games, and I’m nowhere closer than last year.

I just let my new CrossFit private coach go. Mainly because I have no motivation to do their programming.

All I can manage right now is HWPO.

This goes for my life, too. I lost 2 animals (one of my cats and my dog) in less than a month. I want to move. And, it takes everything I have to keep going.

I have a CrossFit competition coming up in Missouri at the end of July. I’ll see how I do/how I feel after that.

A part of me just wants to throw in the towel.

But, right now, it’s day-by-day when it comes to CrossFit training.

2023 CrossFit Quarterfinals

April 10, 2023April 8, 2023 by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit

Hey all!

So, last weekend was the 2023 CrossFit Age Group Quarterfinals. It went as well as expected, considering the workouts leaned towards strength.

I had my best finish ever, but there is a lot of room for improvement. This year will be heavily focused on gymnastics coaching, so hoping next year is a completely different ballgame.

What Happens When You Can’t Do a CrossFit Move During CrossFit Quarterfinals

Hey all!

Last weekend was 2023 Age Group CrossFit Quarterfinals. I did have my best finish ever, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Here is a video I made of what actually happens when a CrossFit movement is programmed and you can’t do it (it was strict, wall-facing handstand push ups) and there was a part two I had to wait for.
