CrossFit Competition: MBS Turkey Challenge Day 2
Day 2 of the MBS Turkey Challenge dawned, and I was feeling good.
That is, until my rower broke during the middle of WOD 1 on Sunday.
Here’s how that went.

CrossFit Competition: MBS Turkey Challenge Day 1
This past weekend was the MBS Turkey Challenge. It was held in Superior, Colorado at Sport Stable.
Admittedly, I am not 100%, so I had no expectations of this CrossFit competition. I am still struggling with knee and tendon issues and a rib head in my back.
So, I was about 80%.
Luckily, this CrossFit competition had no movements that typically bother me, so that was a blessing.

Thoughts on 22nd Place for Festivus Games
Festivus Games is a national CrossFit competition held on the same day at different hosting CrossFit gyms. Thus, they do a national leaderboard. I came in 22nd overall for Female Masters our of 253. I did not think this was very good. I just didn’t think I did very well.
I told my daughter this, who responded with, “Dang, Mom, you’re a pro.” Then I thought, “Well, maybe it wasn’t bad.” I think I just have too high expectations.
I’m trying to grow my YouTube channel, so please subscribe, even if you don’t watch. Thanks so much!
CrossFit Competition: Women’s WOD Jam
Yesterday and today was CrossFit Omnia’s annual Women’s WOD Jam.
None of the workouts played to my strengths. It was all heavy weights with moves I’m not good at (pistols (one-legged squats), ring dips, bench press, and GHD sit-ups). Throw in an upset stomach and bloatedness, and I felt not the best. Plus, I was the oldest athlete in the bunch.
If I had known the workouts ahead of time, I probably wouldn’t have signed up.
Lessons You Learn from Finishing Last at a CrossFit Competition
- You are stronger than you think. I did heavy lunges today I didn’t think I could do and ring dips I didn’t think I could do and pistols.
- You are forced to do workouts and moves you’d never do otherwise. All of these workouts sucked. But I did them. Not happily, but I did them.
- The best part about finishing last is you don’t have to stick around for awards. I left early and got home early, so my day wasn’t completely gone. I got home and took a nap. Heavenly
