Angie's Crossfit Journal

[Angie Marfisi]

My attempt at keeping track at my Crossfit workouts....Im notoriously not good at keeping track .....

I first started xfitting in Feb/March of 2008 and was hooked! I play rugby (in college and now for the past 8 years on a club team and various select side teams) so the benefits and workouts are definitely in line with the conditioning and strength needed to succeed in the sport.

I had to take a month off due to a car accident in July so am now just starting over (ugh) and am in my second week at Crossfit Center City. Our rugby season starts this weekend so this will be a challenge to balance practice, Crossfit and recovery to make it through our long season.

8/11/09
Run 800m for time x4
POSE Running

Comments:
Running long distances is a mental roadblock for me ...granted 800 m does not seem long but in rugby we run 10 or 20 m then do the equivalent of a press or clean or some sort of pressing, pushing movement so I was not looking forward to this.

Good tips from Erin and got immediate video feedback that let me see I run "uh shall we say "awkward" ....but good to know and fix the next time

I only completed x2 , back was doing a weird spasm thing that made running painful so I sat out the last two.

Rugby season starts this wkd with our pre-season camp Fri, Sat and Sun...

I have experienced the "hated greg the entire time" feeling as well. Just ask him how my "JT" went. 45 minutes of PURE AND COMPLETE TORTURE.

Glad to see your workout log, and it's always great working out with you!
Good luck with the start of Rugby season...

Thanks! I play #8 or Blind side for my club side and usually prop on select side teams , though I am on the small side for prop

[Christopher Delgado]

Awesome, I played in college and on a mens club for several years. I'm primarily played 8 as well, best position on the field. Keep up the good work!

8/12/09

Mainsite Rest Day = Squat Day

Front Squats from a clean, my first time at crossfit

45x5, 85x5, 90x5, 100x5, 110x5, 120 x 0 ( I failed the clean, back down to 110x5

My squats felt strong but I could not clean 120 !!! Greg said with more technique work I hopefully should be able to clean more. I also know I need to improve my hip mobility.

In the past I also did back squats and from the rack, so this is challenging.
