ReplyDeleteSince its the last post I whant to thanks Lisa M. trough the communauty. She opened her beautifull house for Mizar and I, helped us providing a stable ness to cook proper food, organize ourself properly, she took the time to find us ropes, profesionnal to provide us proper treatement and made us feel at home despite her busy schedule, 2 charming really well behave kids to manage she took without flinching to more kids (us) that needed help under her wing.
Your help was deeply appreciated.
Your generosity and opendness was inspiring and refreshing.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart to Lisa, Rodnee, Makena and Porter.

Last weekend in Albany NY, the CrossFit Performance Big Dawg Team Mel Mulligan, Andrew Yaun, Jenny Davis, Jezza Kosbob,Julie Migliaccio and I qualified for the CrossFit Games in a 2nd place finish.
ReplyDeleteWe finished a clear 2nd place(209 reps of HSPU) in 1st WOD with our team of 3 athletes rotating through them like kids in a candy store with 2,s and 3,s. the next best team was 146 reps.
The 2nd WOD was another 2nd placing a full 2 minues ahead of 3rd place. I had the task of rowing 4K hunting to break the top time of 14.36 while the crew annialated the 500 reps chipper looking to meet me at finish before that time. The last 1500 meters was an experience I will never forget, I got it done in 14.34 and we just fell short in 15 flat , a full 2 minues ahead of 3rd place.
The 3rd WOD was a fait accompli for our qualification but we WANTED 1st place in the final WOD, sick of running second. We made a pact to go balls out, make a statement.
The final 'stadium style' wod of 30 reps(burpee/BJ/swing/DL) with a prowler push to finish was made all the more challenging with 1 athlete required to wear a 20 pound vest. I made a tactical error of not observing other teams doing step ups with our guy doing BJ and we paid the price with Jezza looking like he had been shot on the DL. We ended up in 4th place on the wod ....but left it all out there going for 1st!
All said and done and a clear second place for our team and Cali here we come.
I personally want to thank James for his support in tough times with my wrist ,helping design a program for me to train intensely without BB work.
Also,the athletes in my team for their unrelenting pursuit of excellance in achieving our goal.
Rob Corson, thankyou for your help in assisting me with wods for my team and lastly the athletes here on the Big Dawgs for helping push the barriers of excellance daily.
Today is the start of 6 weeks of building on our success for further success in Cali!

Canadian Regionals are Announced!
ReplyDeletehttp://games2010.crossfit.com/blog/2010/05/canadian-regional-events-announced/
Those wods look good. They will defintely send a well balanced athlete on.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of 5 WODs in the 3 days as well as no cuts being made.
Good luck to all the Big Dawgs.
Hey Dawgs...
ReplyDeleteWell it seems that last Wednesday's back tightness and discomfort while doing the 80# barbell complex was the result of a new back injury that has unfortunately 'awakened' some old back injuries. I spent the weekend icing, heating, getting a massage and trying to will it away. Unfortunately, it has progressively worsened. I'm receiving treatment from my physio and I know that I'm in good hands and will recover well. But...I've decided not to compete this weekend. Based on where things are at I know it's the right decision. I've done plenty of WODs while injured, but this is that other, 'uh-oh' kind of pain. I love being a part of this community...it makes me a better CrossFitter and person. I'll be posting again very soon.
Here's the important part...I can feel the energy that Regionals in generating and it's incredible!!! I am so freakin' excited for all Dawgs (and Chelsea) competing this weekend!!! I love this pre-competition excitement, and the mental clarity and focus that sets in!!! My hope for those of you competing is that you clear any blocks to energy...worries, fears and feel focused, confident and assured in your preparedness...ready to 'show up', be present in every second, and take it to the red line!!!!I'm going to be in Okotoks to cheer you guys on...It's going to be an amazing weekend...be open to the experiences that are about to come your way...
James,
You must have a million things to do...thank you so much for getting back to me...
A1: 180
ReplyDeleteA2: fast
B: 8 per round
C: felt fine
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteChin up girl. Sometimes things aren't meant to be. Shit happens for a reason.
Rest up and take care of yourself. I know you'll be back stronger that ever.
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteSad to hear. You have been such a positive impact in my life and training. We all know the tremendous athlete that you are and you don't need the Regionals or the Games to prove that to us.
Keep smiling girl!

C. Ran outside on gravel road.
Did Sat. workout today also. It's been a rough week at work with little sleep and no time to work out. Trying to catch up today. I still feel tired evan after sleeping 11 hours last night. Had a Power Snatch PR of 150 for Sat. WOD which was unexpected.
WOW first a 6.7 Km run (that might put me out for the rest of the weekend) then the person who truly helped make Sectionals one of the best sporting experiences of my life (and i have had many)and whom i feel was absolutely instrumental in even getting me to regionals won't be competing this weekend - talk about vulnerability!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle i will dearly miss your advice, your tremendous spirit,your huge heart, your amazing athleticism, and showing those young "chickens" what us old ladies are capable of. I guess i will have to hold the torch for both of us. I am truly saddened that you are hurt and i know it must have been a heartbreaking decision, but understand that our decisions always must be based on what is best for us long term and we must always take care of ourselves first.
Roch and Mizar it has truly been my absolute pleasure having you here.
I have come to realize one very amazing thing in my short time being a part of this community and that is: Crossfit produces/attracts extraordiary, exemplary human beings.
Good luck to all the Big Dawgs competing this weekend lets go show them how it is done!!
All,
ReplyDeleteBeen off the board since the N Central Regional and have been following my affiliate's WODs but wanted to say GOOD LUCK to all of the original Big Dawgs competing this weekend. Show 'em all how badass you all are.

To everyone competing, as coach always says, 'FULL EFFORT IS FULL VICTORY'. Give it your all, hold nothing back, and you will walk off the field a champion. Know that we'll all be following the results like proud parents, and some of us suffering through them with you from a distance. Best of luck, and while you're at it, kick some ass.

ReplyDeleteHey Everyone...
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway we can get a big dawgs gathering sometime this weekend for those competing at this years regional in Canada? Take a photo or something too. I'd really like to put names to a face. Maybe on Sunday when it's all over or something. Any other suggestions?
