2012 crossfit games done ...

after completing my 46 burpees during my run on tuesday - an awesome run through palgrave i might add - see pics below - i went into cf bolton and was made to do 73 more. *sigh*

what a sweet day - did an effortless 1:20 and was for sure feeling the trail love.

the lovely mrs p made it to class on monday!! how come she's doing all the work,

while the 2 guys are just standing around ...

great job lori and even greater doing a workout with you!!

sunday was really nice so i took the misfit to inglewood and visited with don at the bike shop. of course i had to pick up a few things - hay - a girl can't have too many pairs of sox ...

even bumped into one of my clients - heiko with his wife marce - so he actually DOES ride his bike ...

saturday i did an easy 2 hours in palgrave - again - felt really good! then went over to dunc's and had him cook dinner for HIS birthday. much safer than me trying to do it for sure!! hay! at least i managed to come up with some half decent gifts this time!!

super shot of toni climbing the ropes ...

and friday saw me doing the last workout of the 2012 games. I SUCKED! hahaha! guess who CAN'T do chest to bar !? well, i can get high enough, but i just can't get the girls to touch the bar. poor thomas was cringing every time he had to call 'no rep', but it sure wasn't his fault!! as a result i only ended up with 30 reps - 18 thrusters (ew) and 12 chest to bar.

oh well, the whole experience was great, and it gave me a chance to see how i measured up against other females my age. in the end, i finished 54th out of 334 worldwide in the 50-54 age group. more exciting though is that both the mighty alex and father jimmy qualified for regionals, placing 34th and 35th respectively in the open men division for canada east! RIGHT ON !!!

and holy shit - look who decided to come back - FEDON !!! me and my super strong sexy friend lisa were beyond happy!! now if we can just work on luca and adam ...

nice big group for fnc pic ...

speaking of birthdays - a huge happy one for coach derrick on the 26th!! you da best !!!

and finally, today is day 48 of the royal burpee challenge - that makes 1176 so far!!

only 5494 to go ...

  1. Congrats on such a great accomplishment, and an excellent placement!!

    btw, I choked on my cracker when I read "on the 26th" as "on his 26th", hee hee. (Not that you couldn't pass for it Derrick.)
