Greenville Games 2013

This was my first crossfit competition this past Saturday. I got there checked in and warned up before my first WOD around 9:30.

Workout 1: 
3 rounds for time:  
25 Kb Swings 53 lbs 
25 Burpees over Ab-mat 
My Score: 8:23 

After this workout I took a little break and spent some time with my brother and watched some other people during there heat. Around 10:45 I went and did the skill WODs. 

Workout 2: 
Max Med-ball Throw 20 lbs - 5.76 meters 
Max Double Unders in 3 min - 205 reps 

Happy with the double unders but not on the throws. 

At 1:15 I had the third workout. 

Workout 3: 
7 minutes to find a 1 rep max Clean: 
My Score: 230 lbs ... 5 lb PR 
... 2 minutes to transition 
Max 800 Meter run: 
My Time: 2:38 

Very happy with these scores. I had the best scores in my heat on this workout. Afterwards I stayed and watched some people do there WOD. Then I went out to lunch with my dad and brother. It was good, we somewhat tried to plan out how my last workout was going to go and how I would break the reps up. 

When we got back I watched the first two heats, and during the 3rd I went and warned up since I was in the 4th heat. 

Workout 4: 
15 OH Squats 95 lbs - "Buy In" 
3 rounds for time: 
10 Thrusters 95 lbs 
25 OH Lunges 25 lbs 
My Score: 5:59 

In this workout I finished first in my heat and 5th overall. Completely destroyed my legs. 

At the end of the day I placed 14th out of 50 competitors. 
Berry happy with the standings and I plan to do this event again next year.

Crossfit Games Training Update

My goal as I have mentioned many times. . . is to qualify for the Crossfit Games. Over the past week or so I have made a few changes to my regimen, but I now feel confident that I have a solid plan to reach a smaller goal by the crossfit open next year. Qualify for the South East Regionals. There is a lot I need to improve on between now and march to make this dream a reality. I feel that if I train as hard as I can and try to eliminate as many weaknesses as possible that I will have a decent shot. However, I am not expecting to qualify for Regionals; that is my goal and I am going to do everything in my power to make it happen. The result in the end is all dependent on weather its God's will or not. If it happens to be that I make regionals, then great, but if not then I will except it and continue to train as hard as possible for the next year. Now its time to talk about all the training and hard work that is going to have to happen between now and march. When it comes...

Liberty University Trip Recap

This past Thursday I went up to Lynchburg, Virginia, to visit Liberty University. I was up there for what they call CFAW (college for a weekend). I left Thursday morning and arrived there around 4pm. We checked in, found the room I was staying in, had dinner, and walked around campus for a while. That night we went to a welcome meeting with the other 2,000 high school students attending CFAW. Afterwards I headed back to my room and got to know some of the students there and here what they had to say about Liberty.  Before I continue to go on with what I did this weekend, here is a little bit about Liberty. Liberty is the largest Christian university in the world with 14,000 residential students and over 100,000 online students. They have the most recreational facilities of any college I've even been to or visited. Facilities that are free to students include;  - gun range  - multiple camp sites  - 50 miles of hiking trails (mountain biking)  - motor cross ...
