7/26-31

After CFT on Monday, it took a few days before I recovered from being constantly hungry and needing lots of sleep...

Tuesday's Metcon on Thursday
Metcon with 63# and purple band: 9:12

63# may have been a little light but I was a little worried about the load on my left wrist... Turns out I had the right weight for the wrist but could probably go heavier when that’s better. Unbroken ring dips until last round. Unbroken box jumps except for a few trip ups.

Post: 10 deadhangs with a red band.
Cut it b/c my shoulders weren’t having it. Wrist wasn’t having kipping pullups either.

Was supposed to go paddleboarding on Sunday but we ended up glued to the CF Games! Managed to catch all of Elisabeth's performances and I was giddy with excitement watching her take first in WOD 6!!

The third heat saw Elisabeth Akinwale take an early lead, which she increased by doing the traverse unbroken in the first and second rounds. As in the previous heat, there was a big divide between the competitors. Many were slowed by the monkey bars, but they caused no trouble for Akinwale, a former gymnast. The crowd roared and jumped to their feet as Akinwale took the last round unbroken to finish in a screamingly fast 6:56, the fastest time overall for the women in this event. Angie Pye, in the same heat, had the second-fastest time in the event, 7:38.

She is such an inspiration and a super hero! I am so proud of her!
