The start of something...........

So,

Firstly, let me say welcome to my thoughts...

A bit of info about me:
I am primarily a CrossFit Athlete. I live and breathe CrossFit. I have been doing CrossFit for over 3 years now and got my first taste of it when my Girlfriend (and fellow CrossFit athlete) Gemma, showed me a video of this tiny little bloke doing Nancy (turned out the dude was none other than Pat Barber and made it look like he was moving a kids weight) and thought to myself "Fuck, I could do that shit!!!" Dude, was I fuckin wrong.. I showed my old PT this video and said to him "this is the shit I want to be able to do", so the next session I did with him was: (everyone remembers their first)

Nancy
5 rounds for time 15 Over Head Squats with 95/65#
400m sprint (sounds easy right?)

30 minutes later I was BATHED in sweat and hurting like never before.. The whole time I was thinking "This is fuckin horrible" but afterwards I was thinking "That was FUCKIN MAD!!!"..
The next PT session was:
Barbara
5 rounds for time
20 Pull ups
30 push ups
40 sit ups
50 air squats
3 minutes rest between rounds

That was worse than my first session, but with ripped hands, sweat angels on the ground and loud angry music playing in my earphones, a CrossFit athlete was born.

Now, coming up to the CrossFit Games Open and I work in an underground mine on a FIFO (fly in-fly out) basis and I have found that while I'm away from my box, its gonna make it hard to compete in the CrossFit Open... Doesn't rule me out though, I'm still registering and competing in the Open and going to bring the hurt like I'm throat punching a sabertooth tiger just for fun! If I make it as an individual then I'm gonna be impressed (considering the gym in the mines has NOTHING in it besides machines) so I have also registered to compete in the CrossFit North Queensland Regionals Team as well... either way I am getting there.


So, why am I writing this blog?!? It recently occured to me that I am SHITHOUSE at recording stuff.. piss pore at recording times/weights/reps for wods and strength work and have never written down a thing I eat EVER.. So to make myself accountable I am going to start recording stuff every day (hopefully) of what I eat and what I do for training.

If this stuff helps you guys out too then that would be an added bonus, but let me be clear, this is mainly for me!! So if there is something you wouldn't do in here, or something you wouldn't agree with, well like I said, it's for me, not for you!

Enjoy!!
