So this month has certainly been crazy! My check-in is 5 days late, as you can see, but my excuse is that I WAS IN BERMUDA last week! I’ll be posting an update probably tomorrow on the vacation, but I figured I would get my stats up ASAP since I’m already behind! I officially clocked […]
So first and foremost, I know there are guaranteed to be a lot of terminology questions with this subject line… I apologize for that and I promise I’ll explain them, along with some other things, in this post. 1. What’s a WOD? This is something I definitely should have gone over earlier… a WOD is […]
What’s New, Dara? Yesterday when I walked into CFN, I would have sworn that it was hotter inside the box than it was outside. Honestly, if this had happened in the beginning of my Crossfit career, I think I would have cried myself into a puddle before the workout began. Then, today, it happened again. […]
For the non-roller derbiers out there, Wicked Skatewear is one of the top derby suppliers in the world. Roller Derby is most dominant in the USA, and “Wicked” as most skaters affectionately refer to “Wicked Skatewear”, along with Five Stride Skate Shop and Bruised Boutique, are pretty much the staple vendors for all things derby. […]
Ever since I was little, I’ve always felt a special connection to team sports, and a very strong desire to be “part of something”. Soccer, Volleyball and Ultimate always came through for me, and then when I graduated, I joined Derby. My first few seasons (this is my fourth now), I was really focused on […]
It’s thaaaat time again! The 11th of the month! (Disclaimer: This Photo to the Left is Deadlift Photo from Google. NOT ME.) In class on Thursday we did 1RM Deadlifts and I’ll be damned if I’m not STILL hurting in my external obliques from that (and trust me I’ve been foam rolling and stretching every […]
Two quick/funny/related stories from the past couple of Crossfit Nassau sessions… Story #1 Last Thursday we were working on the Clean and Jerk. Awesome. I suck at this. I suck at all the Olympic lifts because they’re still really new and unnatural feeling to me. We’re supposed to work up to a 1rm (a one […]
It’s been a crazy few weeks when it comes to my workouts/sports/fitness! I’ll try to keep it short and sweet but there’s quite a lot going on… Derby: I played in my first full bout since… almost a full year ago(wow!), last night. It was great to be back on the track against outside opponents […]
Before I left for Israel… i.e. literally the MORNING before I left, I scheduled my On-Ramp testing at Crossfit. I wanted to be sure I got the test in prior to my trip because I was afraid that I would forget all the specific terms and pointers, and now having returned, I realize I was […]
So let’s talk a little bit about the past few week, workout wise. I started Crossfit exactly seven days ago, on 2/11. I have two months to make this into something magical, “drink the kool-aid” so to speak. Since that day, I’ve been to three more “on-ramp” classes, and they’ve definitely been enlightening. Lifting has […]
