I had a BLAST.
This was such an amazing experience.
We had a great turnout for our first year! We had 45 competitors!
Elevated CrossFit girls!
Me, Sarah, & Abby
21 Deadlifts at 145lbs
aka freakin’ heavy
So many WALL BALLS! lol
we used a 16lb ball.
me looking at the bar…
thinking… “DAMN it’s heavy!”
and Alan yelling at me somewhere… “PICK UP the bar!” 😉
Alan deadlifting at 225lbs.
Jared, (or J-Dawg) rocking his 135lbs cleans
best CrossFit coach out there!
I ended up finishing in 9:35.
Overall, 7th out of 9 girls.
Not too bad for my first competition!

(mens weight – 20lb Wall Ball, 135lb Clean, 225lb Deadlift)
Diz and Olivia came to cheer me on and they hung out for a long time watching all the CrossFitters.
Olivia was great and didn’t get too sassy. 😉
My Mom came and cheered me on too!
Holly and Steph and their families came to check it out, but just barely missed my heat. 😦
I told them they could make it up to me by coming to a class with me at Elevated CrossFit. 😉
We had some great sponsors!
Primitive Fuels, and Ford’s Locker (click for links).
And none of this would have been possible without Van and Jenny Hatfield.
So HUGE thanks to them!
I can’t wait for next year!
I’d love a podium finish!!
Such good words for #@&$ing heavy…oh, did I mention it’s easier to yell than work. Good work ash.
