Days until the big day: 126
Well, it’s the morning after my first competition. I went into the Hail to the Queen Throwdown with realistic expectations and a hope to overcome obstacles. I came out of the day beaten and bruised and in last place. But, I did the best I could and I pushed it til the very end. Yesterday was day one of no more excuses. Actually, that started when I registered for the event. I opted into the event as RXed even though my pullups were weak, the weight was HEAVY, and my double unders...pathetic.
Coach Brandy of CrossFit Queens (CFQ) asked me to write about my experiences being a CrossFit bride. And I mean “CrossFit Bride”in every sense. I’ve been training for two and a half years at Hudson Valley CrossFit (HVCF) and CFQ. Oh and I should mention that I’m marrying into a hardcore CF family: my husband-to-be is trainer and athlete Nicolas Lobotsky, and father-in-law-to-be, Steve Lobotsky, placed 11th in the Master’s Division at the CrossFit Games in 2010. I can guarantee handstands, burpees, and a paleo menu at the reception.
So what should you expect from me and this amazing blog? I can guarantee discussions of budgeting time, my workouts, body image, weight, diet, and maybe some wedding plans. Hope you enjoy!
