Update

So, I promised I would update you on the results of my nutrition appointment.  I will start by saying that it went way better than I could have imagined.

I am okay with letting everyone know that I officially weigh 130.6lbs which means I have gained 10.6lbs since 13months ago.  However, my body fat percentage is 17.5.  I learned a lot about where I store fat and the environmental factors that have the most influence on me.  While I have done a bunch of reading about studies done on other people it was neat to find out what my problem areas are(hamstrings).  I left smiling(I always leave CrossFit smiling...) and ready to tackle WOD2 of the opens the following day.

Which bring me to today.  A few hours ago I completed CrossFit Open WOD #2 which looked like this:

9 Deadlifts(155#/100#)
12 Push-ups(hand-release)
15 Box-Jumps(24"/20")

Besides a little bit of worry about how my hip would hold up(I have only done box-jumps twice in the last 4 months due to a nagging hip injury) I can't say I was too nervous.  I was able to squeeze out 7 Rounds + 9deadlifts + 1 push-up.  As I called for "chuck" while lying on the floor afterwards there was no doubt in my mind that I pushed myself as hard as I could.  While some people had problems with muscle fatigue on the push-ups that was not my problem.  My main issue was my box-jumps as my hips/quads were unbelievably tired from keeping everything tight on my push-ups. 

While I have been somewhat disappointed about the movements chosen for the WODs thus far(for me) I can honestly say I have pushed myself to the brink in all my attempts.  As ridiculous as this sounds I have been beating myself up a bit because my score ranks me somewhat low in the grand scheme of things. However, I have decided I am going to stop that.  I'm not going to lie and say I don't care at all how I place, because I do(everyone does), but instead of focusing on my placement I am going to use this as an opportunity to figure out my weaknesses and start working on them.

I cannot wait to judge some of the competitors tomorrow when they get their chance to face off against this WOD.  Like I've said before, the only thing better than pushing yourself to the brink is watching other people do it. Good luck everyone!
