East Coast Crossfit Challenge

There are 2 weeks till the East coast Crossfit Challenge and I'm felling pretty good. Even though I posted a Fran time 2 weeks ago of 5:23 (PR is 4:10) I bested my Crossfit Total by 30# in a week. My 1st total was 795...165 overhead press/265 squat/365 deadlift.

Today I did 825...175 overhead press/275 squat/375 deadlift. My allergies are kicking pretty hard, but I feel strong. I know I can do more in all of the lifts, but without bummer plates or any sort of a spotter (for safety) these lifts are pretty good. I'm going to do Cindy later today, and try to get to Murph, Fran again, and Helen this week.

I also did Diane last wed. Not a PR, but I had to walk kinda far to do the handstand pushups, no excuse but I think it made a difference in the 4:16 time as opposed to PR of 4:12.

Other then that, I hate central NY, specifically Utica! the weather and the people here suck! I can't wait to get out of here and off to Sicily!
