What a far cry from what used to be….

I used to want to be thin; now I proudly show off those lines in my shoulders and abs.
I used to want the pounds to decrease on the scale; now I watch them increase on the bar.
I used to exercise out of desperation; now I crave the feeling of a sub-5 Fran.
I used to eat for comfort, now I eat for fuel.
I used to do zumba, aerobics, random machines, i.e. waste my time; now I’m a Crossfitter.
I used to think being sweaty was gross; now I bask in hard-earned sweat angels.
I used to feel insecure about my physical capabilities; now I feel empowered.
I used to seek the attention of douche bags that also sought out the frail, skinny girl; now I’ve found the man that values and appreciates a strong woman.
I used to follow; now I lead.
I used to make excuses; now I show others how
to get rid of theirs.
I used to cave under pressure; now I know discipline.
I used to claim ignorance on nutrition; now knowledge is power.
I used to compare myself to all the other women around me; now I stand confidently, looking forward.
I used to dream of doing things; now I just do them.
I used to be limited; now I’m unstoppable.
This is my new definition and my perspective of what a beautiful, healthy, capable woman should be. I’ve been permanently rewired and never plan to go back. I don’t need to look like the girl on the cover… I’d rather know I could overhead squat her. What a far cry from what used to be….

Moab Red Rock Relay

In May our CrossFit gym assembled two teams of athletes to compete in a 70 road running race around Moab, UT. Each runner covered about 12 miles of flats, steep uphill runs, long downhill descents, and epic cross-country running with a van assist. The race took us 9 hours for our first team and 9 and a half hours for our other team. Out of a total of 152 teams, our teams from Telluride took 5th and 19 overall.

Does CrossFit prepare you for the unknown and the unknowable? Is it true that CrossFit help an athlete to perform at about 85% of any sport or athletic event? Well, both of our teams finished in the top 87.5%. Most of the competitive teams were solid running teams. Our athletes were unable to run due to a late winter in Telluride. Our athletes trained CrossFit and it paid off huge. Hope to see more of our athletes at next years Moab Red Rock Relay.
