CrossFit Langleys First Challenge !!!!!

The three events were

max deadlift 

2 minute kettle bell swings

1000 m row

6 points - 1st place

4 points - 2nd place 

3 points - 3rd place

2 points - 4th place

I was in the lightweight division along with

Hollie, Leanna, Anne, Fern, Tammy and Jill

First off was the deadlifts

i haven't done max deadlifts since the summer so this 

was an interesting event for me

my old p.r was 205 lbs 

we had 3 attempts to work up as hi of a score as possible.

For my first lift 215 lbs completed

for my second attempt 230 lbs completed

for my final attempt 240 lbs completed

I came in third for this event as Fern got 285 lbs Leanna and Jill tied

at 245 lbs each. I was extremely happy with this event as I beat my former personal record

by 35 lbs which is quite a bit.

Total= 2 points

Next was the Kettle bell swings

this one made me nervous I knew i would have to go all out or else 

my sister and mom would have beat me

throughout the week we had practised kettle bell swings once or twice. 

My mom had gotten 66 and 58

My sister had gotten 65 

I had gotten 64 and 58 so it would be a close competition for all of us.

I started very strong and almost managed to maintain my pace throughout the entire 2 minutes. 

Luckily I had a Fire breathing beast beside me egging me on thanks Ann : D

I did pretty well on this event finishing in second place with 

69 swings beating my sister Leanna by just 1 hehe

Fern once again kicked my but by getting 72.

Total= 8 points

Last but certainly not least the 1000 meter row

I had a bit of an advantage on the row because I am a tall skinny boy so I could reach further as well as the fact that endurance is something I exceed at so this was right up my alley.

With my damper at 5 I started off. The first 500 meters wasn't that hard i kept my 500 meter time under 1:50 or just over the whole time.

When I got to the last 500 I tried to sprint not a good idea it hurt like a bugger

but it got my final time down to 3:36.9 so it was worth the pain.

The closest time to mine was Jill at 3:50 so I did well at this event coming in first place.

Total= 13 points

Now for the final judgement

the scores were 

Fern in 1st place with 14 points

Chad in 2nd place with 13 points

and finally 

Leanna in 3rd with 10 points.

A great day with many new personal records set.

It killed me seeing that trophy walk out the door not in my hands

but if i was going to lose to one person I would want it to be someone who was dedicated to the sport and healthy  like Fern.

Well it was an amazing day and a ton of fun so who cares second is better then 32nd.

 It was a great experience the energy in the gym was incredible.

Can't wait for 90 days so that I can kick some ass at the next challenge.

I may be nice on the internet people but come monday its ass kicking time.
