17.1

Since I have been doing Crossfit for awhile now, I decided to go ahead and do the Open and see how I do.
17.1 was my first foray into this craziness and this is what I was supposed to do:

Workout 17.1
For time:
10 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
20 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
30 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
40 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs
50 dumbbell snatches
15 burpee box jump-overs

Men use 50-lb. dumbbell and 24-in. box

Time cap: 20 minutes

So, to get through the workout you had to do 225 reps of activity in total...lots of people completed this within the time cap and the best 40 year old plus folks in MA completed it in 12 or 13 minutes....

I only completed 150 reps.

That put me in 358th in MA in the Master's (40-44) category.  Off we will go but I hope it goes a bit better than this!

Grandma Moffitt and a trip to Colorado

Grandma Moffitt passed away on January 15th.

Her funeral was held on the 28th and since Kristen, Jaden and Jacob would all be at camp with the church over that weekend, Jude and I flew out to Colorado to be at the service and to get to see family.

While it was an unfortunate reason to get together it was truly a blessing to get to see so many family members and catch up for a short time.


Joel and Tiawna were wonderful hosts and all the time spent driving around as we went to the location for the service and the next day for the interment were not wasted as Joel, Janelle and I spent quality time together.
