We checked in for WOD 1 and the way they have it set up is that you have to check in at the athlete village with an "athlete liaison" who escorts you to your next event and to your judge. Fancy, haha! So we are walking up to the rig with our liaison, confirm with the emcee that our name is being pronounced correctly, and all of a sudden are sent out to meet our judge.
Jorge was really nice- and GENEROUS, haha. The WOD wasn't too bad, but they started so damn fast! I walked out to my lane, and thought I'd try and take the moment in! Hell, I had a NAME THINGY!! It was OFFICIAL! Anyway, 3-2-1 go, and I'm off. I finished with 10 reps to go to finish the WOD within the time cap (video on my Instagram!). Of all the times I've tried that workout, that was the farthest I got to finishing, so I was happy. I was happy just to get the first one done, haha!
WOD 2 was 50 calories on the Assault Bike for time with a 3 minute time cap. I got 37... it wasn't so good hahaha. My legs were so tired, and right at the 3 minute mark (or whenever you got 50 cal), we went right into a 5k obstacle course. I have no idea what my time was, but it was SO fun. I started off a bit slow, but my legs were JELLO coming off the bike. After all of the obstacles (we ran 1.5 miles there, did obstacles, ran back), I was able to pass a few gals and sprint to the finish so I was happy :)
Now I'm just in bed, quads are still on fire so hopefully the crazy amount of food and supplements I've taken today help with tomorrow...and Sunday haha. Anyway, here are some pictures from today- more coming tomorrow!! WHAT A DAY!!
This is Melissa Murphy from CF Crowntown. She's an AMAZING athlete and I'm so pumped I've met a new friend in this journey!
Right before heading out onto the floor before WOD 1. Look at how crazy it looks behind me!! Still so beside myself just being here as an athlete!
My supports: Craddock and Ryan getting selfies...
After WOD 1, resting with the hubcap
If there was one elite athlete I could choose to meet, it would be this one!! It was so cool to meet Sheila Barden today. She's one of my favorites because she's amazing and ALWAYS ALWAYS looks like she's having so much fun which is what this is all about!
Part of the obstacle course with the BEST BACKDROP EVER!! We had to carry these jugs of water and walk across these logs. If we fell off at any point, we had to start ALL over again... luckily I didn't have to start over! AMAZING view.
