Xfit mania!!

I never did a post about the cross fit sectionals! Chase did so good, he ended up in 23rd place, they only take 20 to regionals. WELL... some new and exciting turn of events have occured and he is going to regionals in May! I guess if someone couldn't go they bumped everyone up a spot, making his 23rd rank pretty close so only 3 people had to bail for him to be able to go. It is in Washington on May 15. I want to go sooooooo bad but it's too much money plus i will be enjoying my half marathon run through the Ogden canyon :) I must tell you, i would TEN times rather run a half marathon than do what he's going to be doing! Here are some pictures from the sectionals held in Feb.

Workout #1 Max effort.....
Clean & Jerk (Any way overhead) for 1RM
3 attempts at max consecutive muscle-ups

Workout #2 The prowler....
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
263men/173wm Deadlifts
115men/75wm Overhead squat
Push a loaded prowler sled from barbell to barbell. Distance is sideline to sideline on a standard basketball court.

Workout #3 Franish...
12, 9, 6, 9, 12
Thrusters
Pullups (chin to break vertical plane of bar)
Run 200m after every couplet
Weights as Rx'ed for Fran. Men will wear a 20# weight vest

This is him doing a muscle up, one of the hardest cross fit movements out there!


Ha ha he will kill me for posting this one but this is when he finished "Franish". Yes, he is laying in the fetal position! I don't blame him, i wanted to curl up and die just watching!


This is the split jerk lift.

The kids all wore shirts to support him, we let them fill in the blank.. my dad is stronger than....

or my uncle chase is stronger than... Jerzi says My uncle chase is stronger than my dad!! Ha ha that is SOO not true Jerzi :)

This was a really fun event, the kids even enjoyed it! We are loving every minutes of cross fit, it's been almost a year (we started in June) and we are totally hooked! We go 5-6 days a week, sometimes i actually have to talk myself OUT of going because my body needs a rest. I can't explain it, noone can, but if you ever want to try a life-changing workout, try cross fit! It's not just changing our bodies, it's changing our whole outlook on life. Some of these workouts are SOO tough and you want to quit but you don't. Finishing is very symbolic of enduring life and trials. I know it sounds lame, and i won't keep on rambling but it's true :) I'm so happy we both do it, Kurt is looking mighty hot if i do say so myself! This summer the OAC will be doing a cross fit kids camp, i will be helping teach it (maybe?? haven't totally committed) my kids are so excited! They love it as much as we do! Anyway, sorry to bore you but i need this for future journal purposes so we can remember how it makes us feel to be fit and healthy :)
