Fire



OK....be a little open-minded with this one!!!

So I have been going to Crossfit for a little over a year now and have not been able to master the double under.  Needless to say...they are DIFFICULT.  I went to Crossfit yesterday and the WOD was a beast of a WOD.... including 50 double unders.  If you couldn't double under, you were to do jump tucks which are no fun either.  I refuse to do jump tucks which just makes my workout significantly longer, but that's OK.  The 50 double unders were the first exercise.  3-2-1 GO!!!!!  I proceeded to do 29 double unders in a row!  I was stunned.  Tammy, my coach came over to me with this look of pure excitement for me.  I then finished up the last 21 strung together as well and just like that I was done with them!  Tammy looked at me and said, "Girl....you are on FIRE"!!!!!  I was so excited, I can't even tell you!!!  A simple thing like getting double unders!!!  It made my whole day!  I am somewhat laughing as I write this blog because for one, I was on fire for the double unders, but almost passed out while I did the next 50 wall balls and then 50 burpees because I couldn't catch my breath and two, because I have absolutely NO idea how I did them.  I wonder if I will get them again!!!  Also, please don't think me vain....I am usually never on fire for a CrossFit anything  and I usually never post things like this, but it was too coincidental that the word was FIRE and I was told I was on FIRE.....so I couldn't resist!  Thanks for indulging!

  1. You were on fire! That is amazing, when I got my double unders, I was so excited. 29 in a row is great! I am trying to beat my 40, It is HARD, and a great workout!

    BTW, I am so sorry I am way behind on my posts, Been having a really tough week, and was out of town for a few days with no computer. I am catching up today. Be prepared to read a weeks worth of blogging.

    Congrats!!!
