Once again I ended up working in
Central PA. I seem to do this a lot,
damn job! So as always I found a few new
boxes and an old friend to visit.
(8/27) It was close, so I went to see my good friend, Tricia
Magrini. Tricia is about to open CrossFitUncompromised (286)
in Lititz, PA and I am about to get a firsthand look at box not even open
yet. You so gotta love good people in
this community. After a great box tour, I got to get after some of the workload
I had in my regular programming. Back
squats for load: 5 @ 275, 3 @ 315, 20 @ 255, 14 @ 255, & 10 @ 255. Then Tricia joined in for a little 5 rounder
of 10 cal row, 7 deadlifts @ 275, and 5 HSPU.
This one was a blast and even more fun to tackle it with a good
friend. Now that CFU is open, I get more
and more great feedback of the great work coming out of that awesome spot. If you’re in the area, then hit up this
spot. You will not be disappointed, I
promise!
(8/28) Dave and I had to go down to Bethesda to visit the
uniform shop at the hospital there.
After we were done, I had a hour available to hit up CrossFit Bethesda
(287)
in Bethesda, MD for the 1500 open gym time while Dave found the bar. Here I met
Judd Borakove, he was super cool and let me hit more of my own
programming. I built up to a 3rep set of
a 225 push press followed by a 5-3-1(max) (225/275/300-3) of Front Squats. As they started their workout, I started
mine. A 10m EMOM of 2 squat snatches and
4 pistols. I did ok, but Judd was great
and showed me a few things to work on my flexibility to help my pistols. I watched the next class and CFB looked like
they totally had their stuff together.
If you’re in the area, for good or bad reasons, check them out, you may
learn a thing or two.
(8/29) I decided to hit up a newer box in the area, so I
called up my good friend Lanita to tackle it with me. I made my way over to Ryan Alichwer’s box, CrossFitPerseverance (288)
in Carlisle, PA. It seemed a little
redundant for the week, but we hit back squats again. This time it wasn’t nearly the same work
load, 3x5 185, 225, & 315. Since
there were only four of us, we got to our WOD fairly quick. 3 rd, 10 C&J @ 115, 50 MTN climbers, and
300’ of walking plate lunges. This was a
fun race, especially since Lanita has been getting really good. I may have only beaten her by 5 seconds. I know we don’t win at CrossFit, but we are
good friends and love to challenge one another.
As for CFP, they are small but with time, should grow into something
really good for Carlisle.
Well time to get home and maybe visit a new local box or
even head back to Ohio. Only time will
tell. 12 more till 300!!!
