Weighed in at 234lbs tonight!

Deadlift  3-3-3

405-435-475(f3) (PR)

Failed at 475 on the 3rd rep. This was a 10 pound jump for me and I must admit that I was not very focused on deadlifts tonight. It was all about my date with Grace!

Grace 1:44 (almost a 4 minute PR)

I have been looking forward to doing Grace for so long. Grace was my first benchmark wod way back in May; back when I had absolutely no idea what crossfit was all about. Staring at my time of 5 something for the last 5 months has bugged the shit out of me! When I found out that it was Grace today shit got real!

My game plan for the wod was simple... I didn’t have one! Just go balls to the wall until you hit 30! No excuses and no stopping... my goal was sub 2!

I started solid and did my first 15 reps unbroken in about 36 seconds. Then I developed a cramp in my right calf for some reason... I never cramp. About that time Huff and Brandon came over and took over the counting (great coaching I needed a counter, thank you Huff). I knew I couldn’t stop, so I tried to stretch it out on rep 17, I think, and I had a really bad or should I say hideous looking rep. After that I just dealt with the pain until it was over.

When I realized that I went sub 2 the pain disappeared and I was jacked! I  was so fired up and focused for this wod that I should have done another wod afterwards cuz I am going to be jacked up all night! I was prepared to play a football game, but the game only last 1:44...

A big shout out to CFV for all of the support over the last 5 months... and a special thanks to Colin & Huff for everything that you guys do! Your dedication to the sport of crossfit and the quality of coaching you provide is an inspiration in itself! Thank You

On to the next goal... sub 5 minute “Heavy Grace” 185lbs
