First day of a long journy

Well not sure how i'm gonna like this whole blogging thing or if i will even stick with it but here we go...

So the 2012 Crossfit Games Open closed last night and it seems I am the 1,611 fittest man in the northeast region. That being said that is not gonna cut it. I know what people say, "oh you did great " or "you should be proud of yourself you have come so far". Both true i'm very proud of what I've done but i know i'm so much better. In the last year Crossfit has really pointed me in the direction to a better more fun and complete  life, and if continued on this path it may even open the door to that life but that is not my style i wanna kick that bad boy in and jump into that life rather then tip toe in. So I have a year what will I do to prepare and have say a 1,000 position improvment from this year to next? tune in here to find out.

Today's plan....

2) clean and jerk

615 class was a killer and tho 145# is no prob for me after a shit ton of burpees and box jumps fatigue played a toll. Proud of myself for pushing hard on the box jumps and burpees knocked it out in 26:11 very happy with that .

Now the late night vampire lift session. After a couple warm up cleans it was instantly apparent that my wrist were pretty beat up from the squat cleans so I passed on the clean and jerks. But I attacked the snatches and worked on catching them all in a half squat and paused at the top working on stabilizing the weight. Worked up to 175# as the load of all the work today caught up to me. All in all a good first day.

Big shout out to Allison for riding my ass at class and ken for sticking around during the lift session.
