Why do I do this...

Why? To be better...

1. I promised (only a few people will know what this means, and if you don't, you will).
2. I am better than this.

Meet Barbara AKA CrossFit 1A1

Well here it is, my first Crossfit class complete!

The coaches were way kind to the newbies and only made us do "Barbara" 3x. For the regulars it was 5x.

Barbara is as follows...

BARBARA


20 Pullups//box assisted for me
30 Pushups//set two and three off the knees
40 Situps//this is my kryptonite (completed but pulling up on my legs)
50 Squats


Time: 26:35


Barabara is not kind but I got through it. My real weakness was the sit-ups. The push-ups were hard but they are already improving. Just two months ago, one was not possible, so I think getting 30 in a row with a rest between sets of ten are an accomplishment in itself. And remarkably, I am not that sore today, but tomorrow is another day!!

Bring on the rest of the ladies!!(I think)
