I'm an Athlete?

Today is the first day of the Crossfit Games. Basically, anyone who is apart of an affiliate can sign up to see where they stand in the world. Over 120,000 people have signed up. I'm going to say my standing in the world is 120,001....or whatever last is.

I think when you have signed up for the games, you're officially an athlete....Me, an athlete....Not too sure about that.

Yesterday's workout was a "just kinda move and get warm workout." 

3 rounds of:
-7 Pike Pushups {or Handstand Pushups if your a badass...unlike me}
-12 Kettlebell swings
-10 Burpee's

Then our conditioning was:
-2000 meters rowing
-800 meter run

Being that we weren't trying to do this for time, I took my own sweet time. I made sure to have a steady pace but I didn't want to kill myself. Especially because my death wish is already sealed for today.

Workout 13.1

17 minute AMRAP of:
40 Burpees
30 Snatch, 75 / 45 lbs
30 Burpees
30 Snatch, 135 / 75 lbs
20 Burpees
30 Snatch, 165 / 100 lbs
10 burpees
Max rep Snatch, 210 / 120 lbs 

AMRAP just means As Many Rounds As Possible

Want to see the workout I'm doing today? Click here to view it. If you just want to see a snatch, it starts around 3:45, I think.

Say a little prayer for me around 8:30 am this morning. I need all the help I can get.

Moving on. Last night The Hub's and I made Flank Steak Pinwheels. Our recipe is little different though. We used roasted red peppers instead of sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese instead of whatever cheese they say to use. I don't have a picture because we ate it all up so fast. It was delicious!! Now, I know feta is not Paleo so if you wanted to make it Paleo friendly, you could take the feta out and maybe add another veggie, like mushrooms.

Thank you Cari Beth and Matt for introducing these to us over the weekend! I don't know how I was living life before without this awesome recipe.

Well, I must go get ready to get my butt kicked today. I'll pass out before I die, right?

Have an awesome day!
